Wonderful experience
We had a wonderful experience with Costa Excursions in Costa del Sol! Our driver and tour guide, Thomas, was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating throughout the day. We truly enjoyed our time with him and especially appreciated his tips for exploring Ronda on our own while still staying in contact in case we needed anything. The winery experience was fantastic and definitely a highlight of the tour. Luckily, we had stopped for a quick breakfast sandwich in one of the towns on our way, as there was only small cuts of dried meat and some toasted bread offered for the tapas. Everything was well organized, relaxed, and enjoyable, making it easy for us to take in the sights and enjoy the experience at our own pace. Overall, it was a great tour with an excellent guide. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Costa del Sol!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review

Winery tour
Three of us had a great winery tour with Peter yesterday! He was helpful through the organizing process - very communicative and had lots of good information. Our meet up location was straightforward. Peter has lots of local information and knows the best wineries to visit for what you like. Highly recommend you go on a tour with him!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!

Ronda private wine tour is well worth the time and money!!
Despite a colder, rainy day, we had the best trip from Costa del Sol to Ronda — thanks to Peter (our driver and guide). Peter communicated well before the day even arrived. He paid attention to all the details and allowed us to explore Ronda wines and the town without any worry. He selected 2 wineries with great red wines — our favorite. He arranged snacks did the tastings and gave us great ideas to explore Ronda. And he is an AMAZING driver up and down the mountain.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!, I am so glad you had a wonderful time.

Fantastic experience in Ronda
We had a wonderful day on our trip to Ronda. Thomas was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable on the area in the history, and went out of his way to see some hidden gems. We would not have seen otherwise. Can’t recommend this trip more!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!

Ronda with a twist
Ronda is well known for its famous bridge and bull fighting ring but, maybe less so for its wine. We had an excellent experience visiting Bodega La Melonera with our tour guide Peter. We were introduced to the history of viticulture in the region and tasted some unique blends using local varieties of grapes. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, flexible, and spoke excellent English. I highly recommend spending the day with Peter and exploring Ronda and its surrounding wineries.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!

Ronda Private Wine Tour + Free Time in Ronda: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marbella.
How much does Ronda Private Wine Tour + Free Time in Ronda cost?
+
Prices start at $383 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 + Free Time in Ronda take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 + Free Time in Ronda worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 + Free Time in Ronda?
+
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 + Free Time in Ronda suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ronda Private Wine Tour + Free Time in Ronda?
+
Around 8 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ronda Private Wine Tour + Free Time in Ronda 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, Ronda Day Tour and Winery Visits from Marbella, Guided Canyoning Adventure Near Marbella (Benahavís River Walk). 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 + Free Time in Ronda?
+
Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Wine tasting; Snacks; and Driver/guide. Not included: Gratuities; and Entrance fees to Ronda museums. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Ronda Private Wine Tour + Free Time in Ronda include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 425 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 + Free Time in Ronda 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 + Free Time in Ronda?
+
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.
Is Ronda Private Wine Tour + Free Time in Ronda wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
