Amazing day in Ronda!
Peter was a great tour guide. He was punctual and very easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable about the area. Allowed us to have free time in the city to enjoy a fabulous lunch! Highly recommend

Great trip to an exciting wine area!
We were 12 persons on a private tour to two wineries and lunch in Ronda. Our guides were great and the arrangements at the wineries were perfect. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review.

Did not meet our expectations
We looked forward to this event as it was a birthday gift for our mother. Our driver was very good, but the wine tour was a total disappointment. We visited this winery in hopes of tasting a range of wines and learning about the process. Too much time was spent talking in poor English and very little time tasting. We paid A LOT to do this tour and were promised tapas and wines under an oak. After walking an hour in the heat while the few slices of cheese and sausage stewed in the hot environment indoors, we finallly got to taste a few centliters. Not their best wines, but very ordinary table wines. Three wines were included in the tasting and two of them were already open. She promptly removed the wine glasses and bottles… we had to taste the two reds in the white wine glass and she snatched the chips and crackers from under our noses. We had thought about buying a bottle or two, but their card machine had not, and was not working. Warning for this place. Nice atmosphere, but poor service. Oh, I forgot to add that she interrupted her LONG presentation with a private phone call. However, Thomas our driver made the rest of our tour to Ronda interesting and he explained the history of Ronda. He tried his best to make the rest of the tour interesting, a big thanks to Thomas.
Response from the operator: Hi Sandra. On behalve of Thomas and I as owners of the tour company we really regret that you didn´t like the wine tour part of your day trip and we appreciate your comments about Thomas. We are very sorry that it didn´t meet your expectations. Apparently Gema, the guide, didn´t have a good day because of personal reasons (she is usually very good and other reviews corroborate that), this of course doesn´t excuse her and for that reason we really apologice and will make sure it doesn´t happen again.

Couldn’t recommend highly enough!
Our tour guide Thomas was fantastic during our excursion. He even took us to an extra location! I would gladly recommend taking a trip with costa excursions and find it hard to envision anyone having a bad experience using their service.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words

A Lovely Day!
Our driver/guide, Peter, was knowledgeable and made our drive to the winery and Ronda comfortable and entertaining. The winery portion was interesting with a tour then tastings of one white and two reds accompanied by tapas. Next was a short drive to Ronda. Peter took us on a walking tour which included the bullring, he also made lunch reservations for us. Great food and an amazing view. The drive from Marbella and back provide spectacular views.

Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marbella.
How much does Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella cost?
+
Prices start at $449 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marbella usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marbella is not rushed.
Is Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marbella, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marbella can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marbella and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marbella within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marbella?
+
On Outty we rank every Marbella experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Parasailing Fuengirola - The Highest Flights on the Costa, Málaga: Caminito del Rey Guided Day Trip with Bus Transport, Ronda Day Tour and Winery Visits from Marbella. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marbella?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marbella?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella?
+
Included: Bottled water; Wine tasting; Driver/guide; Hotel/accommodation pickup and drop-off; and Food tasting. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 115 listed pickup locations in and around Marbella. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Ronda Private Wine Tour and Tapas from Marbella if the weather is bad?
+
