About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- W9469ZEronh0 contributionsWe enjoyed the olive tour. Highly recommended!We really appreciated the olive tour. Despite the rainy weather it was a great success. The explanation about the processing of the olives into oil by our guide Miguel was very clear. Tasting the different types of olive oil was also very educational. After a beautiful ride through the mountains with the beautiful landscape we enjoyed a delicious meal at a typical Spanish restaurant. Our friendly and good-humored guide Miguel certainly contributed to this fantastically fun and educational day. Highly recommended!Written 14 March 2025
- Cosmopolitan3161000 contributionsGo Ole!! A tour like no other - excellent! Five-star++This is the second trip we've done with Ole and it it just got better! Another two beautiful white villages, Torrox Pueblo and Competa, with Miguel as our very knowledgeable guide. Add a visit to a small family wine business and tasting of three very palatable wines, followed by a lovely lunch in a pretty village made a Grand Day Out!! Just 7 of us from 3 countries we laughed a lot and learned a lot! Thank you Ole 😊Written 9 March 2025
- NorthStar044719713680 contributionsMarbella and MijasWe learned so much about Andulsia right from our start in Nerja to our destination of Marbella and Mijas. Cipriano is very knowledgeable and very friendly…highly recommend this tour!Written 5 March 2025
- davidhY9928LO0 contributionsExcellent small group tour of the Alhambra and Albayzin neighbourhoodOle Trips provided us with a first class tour of the Alhambra and Albayzin neighbourhood. Miguel, our driver and tour guide, was charming, knowledgeable, and provided excellent value. Special thanks to María and Cipriano in the Ole office for arranging the logistics of our trip as it had to be arranged outside of their normally scheduled trips to Granada. Wish we had more time to try some of their other day trips. Highly recommended!Written 27 February 2025
- M8839ITstuartl0 contributionsA great day out!We did the Sun and Wine Tasting day out which we can thoroughly recommend. Our team of 4 Brits were picked up at 8.45 am by our guide Miguel in Caleta followed by a couple from Norway at 9am in Nerja. We headed straightaway inland into the mountains for our first stop in Torrox Pueblo. There our walking history tour began as we weaved our way round the streets and the Old Town. We learned about the Arabic village architecture designed to keep out invaders and Almanzor, the great leader of the Moors. We admired the wonderful views straight down to the sea. Then it was on to Competa much further up into the mountains with even more spectacular views for another walking tour to learn about its history and traditions and the importance of donkeys, an absolute necessity for life back then. We had a very welcome break for coffee in Competa at about 12 noon before heading to the 5th generation family-run small bodega whose wines were selected by a group of blind wine tasters for the Spanish King's wedding 20 years ago - showing how special their wines are. Again, much information about the traditional hands-on method of wine production along with the delicious wines to taste and the small shop to browse and select products to buy from. The mountain scenery was spectacular with the almond trees blossoming into pink and white froths and the mimosa trees showing off their yellow bloom. Having become slightly tipsy, our tummies were ready for a delicious 3 course lunch in the village of Sayalonga, with plenty of choice, at about 2.30pm after which we were delivered back to our respective locations, having had a marvellous day out. Miguel was such a great guide, full of historical information (and current day facts!) great fun and a fantastic grasp of the English language. Thankyou Miguel!Written 20 February 2025
- Scenic3917210 contributionsAlways extremely pleased with OletripsWe had a wonderful day in Cordoba with Miguel as our guide. He was an extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. He worked hard to give us a taste of the various traditional food experiences. Highly recommend Oletrips as this was our 5th tour in the 2 years we have been visiting Nerja. Thank you.Written 19 February 2025
- 795xandras0 contributionsGreat tourguide!!! Great trip!We had fantastic trip! The guide is so friendly and knows so much to tell. Maria from the administration is also super friendly. They really do their very best to make your excursion a success. A big 10 and definitely worth repeatingWritten 15 February 2025
- Neverfull19810 contributionsExactly as described but beat expectations.Absolutely fantastic trip, would recommend to any one wanting to explore the area around Malaga a little more. Miguel the guid was informative friendly and made sure everyone had the experience described. Learning about the olive oil process and seeing it happen was truly memorable. And with lunch included the whole day was incredible value for money.Written 11 February 2025
- Clangerama0 contributionsMagical AlhambraWhat a professional company...picked up ontime by our driver / guide Miguel...excellent driver...fantastic tour of Alhambra...all tickets taken care of.. Very informative tour .. well worth the trip.. Then on to lunch in Granada....really enjoyable tour, only 8 people ...Fantastic Totally recommend ole trips & MiguelWritten 15 January 2025
- 98rebeckah0 contributionsSol och vinruttGuided tours are usually of varying quality, but this tour was truly a highlight. First of all, we ended up with two couples from Liverpool, just their presence enhanced the experience. Regarding the guide and the guide's knowledge and ability to deliver interesting and relevant information, it was magnificent. He captured our attention, without being too intense. Just taking us up to the heights on those roads, would make many hesitate, but with a sure hand the guide drove us up in a very pleasant way. The walks through the different villages, how the small-scale wine production is conducted and the wine tasting afterwards, were all an incomparable experience. We are so grateful for this tour and have already thought about the next tour, when visiting Nerja. Thank you so much!Written 6 January 2025
- Deb0220 contributionsPerfect dayPerfecto! I couldn’t have asked for a better tour! Small, intimate, informative, spectacularly beautiful and fun! Cipriano is an outstanding guide who combines his formal education with his lifelong experience in this region to provide guests with insight only a person with his passion can give. This is a top-notch experience in which I highly recommend!Written 4 January 2025

We had a wonderful day yesterday. Thank you so much to you and your team for planning such a great trip and for excellent communication and admin. And a HUGE thank you to Toni, who we all loved. She was entertaining and informative and we honestly felt as if we’d spent the day with a friend.

This was a great full day trip. Lot of history and breathtaking mountain scenery. Guide (and owner) Cipri showed passion , knowledge and shared personal insight adding depth. He was very patient with our older group with a good number of steps. Coffee break and lunch allowed a nice, reasonable pace. If you are in the area for a couple of days we would recommend the trip and the company. Many different trips!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to be given a present of the White Villages tour with Cipriano of the Oletrips tour company.
We were picked up at our hotel by him at the appointed time and headed directly to the villages.
He has an amazing knowledge of the history of the villages and presents it in an easy to understand fashion.
He is a great character and speaks perfect english, so no problems with understanding what's being said.
It was delightful to be able to walk around the villages and have their history explained to you as you go.
Even though it was a day long tour the time absolutely flew by.
If you are travelling to Nerja do yourself a favour and book a trip with Oletrips, you won't regret it. Thank you Cipriano.

Walking and climbing amid the white village houses, the spectacular views but best of was Cipriano’s detailed knowledge of history and love of ‘his’ area of Spain. One of the best guides we have ever had.
A prompt pick-up in a comfortable mini bus with effective air con and very careful driving on the narrow twisting roads that lead to the very white hilltop villages. Five in total, all different in history, charm and architecture depending on the Roman, Muslim and Christian previous inhabitants. Fascinating stuff enhanced by the many tiled information panels that Cipriano interpreted and enhanced.
We visited churches, Roman and early Mosque ruins, intricate streets and alleys carefully chosen to maximise the views and easiest access, given the steep stairs. Brochettas and coffee then a menu del dia lunch in village squares were excellent. The seven enjoyable hours flew by, always a sure sign of a great tour.

My husband and I had a superb time on tour with Cipriano. He is really knowledgeable and passionate about this part of Andalusia. He is very relaxed and a great story teller, it was lovely to walk around through living history. The villages were amazing and they have a great story to tell, but Cipriano brought them to life. In this tour you will see the real Nerja and Spain, the roads are really steep but Cipriano is a really careful driver. The food was plentiful and lovely, I would highly recommend this tour with a nice man who will take good care of you from the moment he picks you up at your apartment or hotel.

A fantastic day! Cipriano is a most knowledgeable , friendly and professional guide and brought everything to life with his enthusiasm and passion for this beautiful region of Andalucia. We learned a lot and it was so interesting to hear about the history and culture of the delightful villages we visited and enjoy the spectacular views and beautiful scenery.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and the Mercedes van we travelled in was clean and comfortable. We liked the small group experience and everything was done at a very relaxed pace - we were never rushed or hurried. The whole day was so well organised from start to finish and included a delicious lunch to finish off our memorable day.
We can thoroughly recommend Oletrips and will definitely be booking again when we next return to Nerja.

The above tour was very special indeed and formed the highlight of our brief sojourn to lá Axarquia region of Southern Spain. Cipriano's breadth of knowledge, his passion for the subject matter and his sense of fun made the Mudejar and White Villages trip unforgettable!!
There was a nice balance between providing a detailed history of la Axarquia and its wonderful historical and cultural links and taking some time out to savour some delicious local delicacies at a restaurant frequented by locals-a really nice touch!I highly recommend taking a day to appreciate this region's complex and interesting history. Cipriano from Oletrips ensured that our intimate group was provided with a day to remember!

I own a property in the area but wanted to find out a bit more about the neighbouring villages so I decided to take the White Villages tour. Ole trips arranged to pick me up in the village to join the tour. We visited Archez, Canillas de Albaida, Salares, Sedella and finally Sayalonga, where we had a delicious lunch which was included in the price. Cipriano was a great guide and very knowledgeable and I met a nice bunch of people on the trip. Highly recommend - great day out !

If you can only go on one trip make sure it's this one with Oletrips! Two words - Absolutely Fabulous!! All previous 5 reviews say it all. We've been coming to the Costa del Sol for 35+ years and knew nothing about Axarquia. Each of the five villages visited were beautiful and Ciprianos knowledge and stories so interesting. We're hooked - the small group, comfortable minibus and lovely lunch made best day out. Thank you Ole 😊
