In my opinion the trip was great including the punctuality of the arranged pick up time and well organised. The mini bus was comfortable and the driver was clearly an expert. Not only did he know every curve but also every bump in the road and he adjusted the speed accordingly. Best of all, the guide was very knowledgeable and gave all the information in Spanish and English. I was also very lucky with my travel companions, although this is not something one can choose. The Spanish speaking travellers were making a real effort to speak slowly and clearly to me over lunch in Spanish. So, bearing in mind that a tasting session of the regional 'jamon' and later a very plentiful, nice lunch with wine and water was included in the price, it was good value for money.

Hi. A well worthwhile trip-such a stunning area to visit-even though it was raining. Lunch was great-so much food and wine!!. The guide Angela was so helpful and knowledgeable-and the driver was so professional-not easy on some of the winding roads._br/_ The only downside was the difficulty in booking. We booked on the internet and we got a response telling us to ring a number to find out about the time and location of the pick up-only it wasn't a valid number. Luckily the hotel receptionist did some ringing around and managed to find out for us. The mini bus was far too small and cramped-we were last on the bus and our seat was so uncomfortable-it was like a school bus-with child sized seats-by the time we got back we were in physical pain as we couldn't move our legs in the seat behind the driver-and we aren't very tall.. I would still go again-a stunning area of Andalucia.

Very enjoyable with beautiful views in a small group of 4. The guide was very informative and learned about interesting information on the region.

We took the day trip through the Sierra Nevada mountains and loved it. It is a full day with us being collected from our hotel at 8.30 am and returning at about 6.30 pm but certainly well worth it. The bus winds its way up through a number of villages to Trevelez which is the highest village in mainland Spain. Each stop provided an interesting topic and the lunch was excellent. Our guide, Angela, was great and as well as being multi-lingual had a good personality. Our driver, Antonio, did a great job handling the mini-bus through the winding roads made more difficult by the bike race that was on that day.

weather cooperated after awhile. Itinerary was great , all stops were very very interesting and the lunch was awesome ! Bus was comfortable and we really bonded with all the travelers. Guide was fine - English could have been a bit more clear but it didn't mar the trip in the least.

Our guide was thorough and enlightning the driver deserves a medal for navigating so many switchbacks.

We really enjoyed this tour - our guide was very knowledgeable and obviously loves talking about Las Alpujarras. Beautiful vistas and scenes around every curve. I would have been white-knuckled but our expert driver allowed us to enjoy the scenery. Learned a lot about the history and topography of the area. A really good lunch at a rural hotel. Many brief stops for viewing spots or to see some mineral springs, deep ravines, and old ruins. Visited 3 of the 29 hill towns but drove through several others- how they ever built in some of those locations defies gravity. Margaret and Roger

I enjoyed the day. Very windy roads I am surprised I was not car sick. Very informative tour guide and interesting to see the Alpujarras which I have read a lot about. The places we stopped felt quite touristy and less authentic than I would have liked.

This tour was amazing. The excellent tour guide Alba, who was so informative as to the history and culture of the area, made this trip one to remember. You visit three villages in the foot hills of the Sierra Nevada. Panoramic views are plentiful. If you suffer from vertigo this trip will cure you.

We had a fantastic day exploring the stunning mountain villages that surround Granada! Our guide, Antonio, masterfully switched between English and Spanish the entire day to make sure all tour participants understood every component of the tour. One of the smoothest bilingual tours I've ever been on! It is a great balance of guided exploration and free time throughout the day. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the Alpujarras for the day--it is worth the trip!

I am glad that I chose to go on this tour. It was well organized, and the places we say were varied and interesting.
