- joanbA4711BA0 contributionsLovely trip.Very interesting day touring the white villages. Our guide Miguel was very helpful and friendly and very knowledgable. Lovely lunch was included.Written 19 September 2024
- Judi68010 contributionsMangoes and Avocados up closeA really informative day about something I previously knew nothing about. Following a very informative tour through the farm looking at not only mangoes and avocados, we saw different exotic fruits that the farm is experimenting with. This was followed by a tasting session of these fruits. We then headed over to Vélez Malaga to the church of Santa Maria and also the tower that overlooks the town. From here there are amazing views. Next stop - a very welcome lunch. Throughout the day, Cupriano and Miguel were perfect, knowledgeable hosts. A fabulous day !Written 18 September 2024
- 108carolf0 contributionsFantastic!Well.. this was a fantastic trip, so glad we booked it, Miguel our driver/tour guide was amazing, so informative and clearly dedicated to his role. We were driven to The Lost Village for lunch high up in the terrain for lunch, the food was authentic and delicious. The trip was private, myself and my husband along with 3 other lovely people from The US who we spent the day with, this was a bonus and made the tour even more enjoyable. Yes we certainly can recommend this trip 100%! Thank you Miguel! 👍Written 11 September 2024
- 900erikv0 contributionsIf you like Mangos and Avocados, book this tour!Had a great time! Cipriano, our tour guide showed us and explained the different varieties of Mangoes and Avocados. The Avocados weren't quite ready yet, so he made up for it with other fruits from around the farm. Highly recommend! Then took a quick trip to Velez-Malaga and spent some time at the cathedral there with views of the fort nearby. He explained their religious holiday "Semana Santa" which really sparked my interest in the Catholic Faith. Note, the meeting location is not in Malaga (it's in Torre del Mar or nearby Lagos). Took an Uber and made it there fine.Written 10 September 2024
- Judi68010 contributionsWell organised, informative trip.I feel very privileged to have seen first hand the production of the raisins on this route. A dying art as it’s not financially viable now. Following our visit to the farm we travelled to Almachar, El Borge and Mondinejo. Here we saw how the raisin production has influenced these towns. The architecture, the traditions, fiestas etc. We were able to sample and buy some of the wines made with the raisins as well. Our trip ended with a superb and very welcome lunch. I went on this trip as a solo passenger, but was made to feel very welcome and included. I have already booked my next trip with Oletrips, and thoroughly recommend them as a professional trip organiser.Written 6 September 2024
- X1899SUdereks0 contributionsA great day outThe White Villages tour is an absolute "must do" trip whilst in this area. Our guide, Cipriano, was very knowledgeable and engaging, explaining the history of the area and taking us to fabulous view points we would never find on our own. The tapas lunch was delicious, set in a pretty square with an entertaining host and a very welcome breeze. Great pictures. Great day. Thank you!Written 23 July 2024
- Trip6351580 contributionsBeautiful villages and foodWe were three people with a group of 7 in total. Cypriano was an excellent guide who took everything at the right pace. He has excellent knowledge of the area and is passionate about it! We went away much more knowledge about the history and culture and had excellent tapas to round the day off. Best tapas we had!!Written 23 July 2024

We had a wonderful day with Cipriano as our driver and guide in May 2022, visiting Alhambra, Granada. He is on time, knowledgeable of local history and places, as well as thorough, prepared, and personable. Both Cipriano and Maria communicate the layout of the trip and necessary documents very well. Overall, we highly recommend them!

We would thoroughly recommend visiting Granada and Alhambra with Oletrips. The tour round the palace and gardens and Cipriano's knowledge and enthusiasm for the history of this area was exceptional. A delicious traditional meal and relaxing tour in the old part of the city followed. We will definitely use Oletrips again, Thankyou to the team for a truly memorable day x

We had a wonderful trip to the palace with Cipriano yesterday. We were picked up from our hotel in a very nice air conditioned car. We picked up two very nice German people from their hotel on the way and then drove to the Alhambra .
Cipriano was very informative and spoke excellent English and German.
After the palace we were taken to a lovely Spanish restaurant for lunch that he knew and of course we chose a glass of the local beer to accompany it. After a tour around the old city with one of the best views of the outside of the palace we made our way back home.
A great day highly recommended but the one thing we would say , be prepared for a lot of walking.

This was a highly enjoyable and informative day out. Cipriano is a fantastic guide and made the trip a great experience from start to finish. I was travelling with a 13 and 17 year old and they both had a really good time. There’s a good deal of walking involved, particularly in the early part of the day but the guided part of the tour is done via a headset so you can keep moving as Cipriano explains everything you’re seeing. The delivery was very interesting and easy to follow and the time passed quite quickly. We had an amazing lunch in the Albaycin area of Granada (Cipriano pointed us in the direction of a fabulous Moroccan restaurant as we wanted halal food) followed by some more sight seeing before being dropped back to Nerja. Pick up was straightforward and minutes from our accommodation in Burriana and the transport and journey were comfortable. I really highly recommend this trip and would definitely visit Granada and the Alhambra again and would love to do another trip with Ole Trips again in the future. Many thanks to Cipriano and the team!

Great experience with Cipriano. He was very knowledgeable and interesting and clearly enjoys sharingthis with others. The small group tour was the perfect way to experience the Alhambra and Albayzin and we met some lovely people too.
We would recommend Olétours to anyone wanting to learn more about Andalucian history and culture. Well worth while

Today we went on a trip to the Alhambra in Granada with Ole Trips. The whole experience was fantastic. We were picked up in an air conditioned vehicle and driven safely to our destination. En route Cipriano, our tour guide, gave us lots of historical facts and information about the palaces at the Alhambra and about the history and culture of Andalucia. He escorted us into the complex and stayed with us throughout. Nothing was too much trouble for him.
The Alhambra is most certainly a wonder of the world and you should not miss the tour. We had a tapas lunch and drinks and then had an interesting walk around the Albaicin. Thank you so much Ole Trips we will definitely see you again soon

Cipriano is an excellent tour guide. He is the CEO of his small business Oletrips. He grew up in the area, has his college degree, and is very knowledgeable in the history of Spain. He also speaks very good English. He picked us up at our hotel in a Mercedes mini bus. We also had a delicious meal at a restaurant he recommended after touring Alhambra. Then he drove us back to our hotel. It really is a hand-held tour and we always felt safe and in good hands. We were visiting from California, and if we could have stayed longer, we would of went on one of his other tours he offers in the area. Thank you, Cipriano.

Oletrips arranged everything well. Good communication in advance with clear agreements. Comfortable ride with the Mercedes bus for 8 people. Cipriano, the guide and driver, explained the historical background of Andalusia, Granada and Alhambra along the way. Cipriano showed us around quietly and gave us a very interesting story. He avoided the crowds and took the time to let us take photos. The tour through the old Moorish district of Albaicín, followed by a pleasant lunch in a fine tapas restaurant, made this day unforgettable for us. Thanks Cipriano!

We loved the experience. Both Cipriano and María were very attentive and friendly from the beginning. Cipriano picked us up at the door of the accommodation and took us by car to the Alhambra, we saw it all and then he took us by car to the Albaicín, where we ate at a restaurant that he recommended to us and which was very delicious. The tour was very well organized, it was enjoyable and we learned a lot. In addition, he left time to take photos and even offered to take photos of us himself. Since there were very few people, it was a very private tour, we were like family.
We also want to highlight that Cipriano was always very patient and kind with us even though we often had to interrupt him to translate what he was telling us to one of us who only spoke Czech.
Highly recommended.

Wow! What a fantastic day we had visiting Alhambra and Granada. Cipriano was a fabulous guide. His knowledge of the area and its history was excellent.
We were picked up on time from near our Accomodation and dropped back off at the end of the day. The whole booking process was faultless, Maria sent us clear instructions prior to our trip.
All in all, it was a fantastic day, and thanks again to Cipriano and Maria for a great experience.
