Wonderful day! Peter was great! He was knowledgeable and laid back. We wanted to change the tour for more free time and he was happy to accommodate. Both the caves and Frigiliana were interesting and worth seeing.

Thank you so much for your review, we are glad you had a wonderful time in Nerja and Frigiliana
We had a great day with Peter. Good pre-tour communication. Met us right at our ship. It was Easter Sunday so we departed early. The Nerja Caves were amazing. Frigiliana is a cute white village. Crowded on Easter but Peter found parking. We got to see another Procession which was special. Nerja was nice, again Peter found parking in the very crowded beach town. A great day with wonderful weather.
Thank you so much!
It was an amazing experience! The Cave at Nerja was breathtaking and worth the trip alone. The town of Nerja is filled with great cafes and many opportunities for shopping. Frigiliana is a picturesque seaside town, with great views of the beaches and ocean. Peter is an excellent guide with a deep understanding of the region and the people. The tour was well worthwhile and highly recommended.
Thank you so much!
