5.00Great experience. Insanely beautiful views. Tour guides were the best - from the bus ride to the hike.
Beautiful hike but too great a distance

3.00Pros: An absolutely gorgeous hike and a "must do" for those wanting to escape the city and get some exercise. The guide provided by the park was excellent. Her love of the area was evident by her enthusiasm and spirit. Cons: The bus ride was 2 1/2 hours each way so the day was very long. The two bus tour "guides" really didn't do much that a handout or linguistic bus driver could have done as well. My ticket said I would get water and a snack on the trip. I got neither. We stopped midway to the hike and were told there was a supermarket nearby for snacks. I couldn't find it and it seemed no one else did either. We were told there were snacks available at the start of the trip through a vending machine. It was broken. I went over 8 hours without food and got very hungry! The bus tour guides left us alone during the ride to and from the hike although I would have appreciated commentary about the passing towns and farms. Overall I'm not sure I would recommend this day trip from Seville.

5.00Beautiful naturalistic and cultural experience with Naturanda. We thank so much our guide Gabriele for accompanying us and transmitting his passion for Andalusia.
A definite must see in Spain

5.00Honestly the best experience from my entire trip to Seville in Spain. We arrived at the tour bus location and were greeted by the nice people there and then we headed off on coach after to Camanito Del Ray. We were lucky enough to have Alejandro as our tour guide because he was extremely knowledgeable and well spoken at explaining the history and geographical relevance of every part of the tour. Honestly the whole thing from start to finish was really well put together.. the views are incredible and a must see if your close enough to get to see it.. I recommend it no matter what tour guide you get but Alejandro is top notch and really knows and cares about the experience and explains everything in full detail for people to understand… 10/10
Full Day Seville to Caminito del Rey

5.00I had a perfectly pleasant day with our guide Merce from Seville to Caminito de Rey. It was a full day trip from Seville. It was scheduled to leave from Seville at 10am and we were on the bus and heading south by 10:10. This trip could be done on a tighter time frame as I'm not sure the stop in Osuna is necessary but some people appreciated the hospitality stop at the 1/2 point of the trip. Once we arrive at Caminito, there was some waiting around for each tour group to be processed, issued their helmets, meet their hike guides, etc. I was previously scheduled on this hike earlier in the week but bad weather prevented it (as it should! This is not a hike you want to do in the rain). It was still a little windy in some parts of the hike. I was anxious about the height but ultimately felt very safe throughout and struggled a little crossing the bridge over the canyon. We arrived back to Seville at 8pm. It is a 10-hour day but someone else was doing the driving and I got to ride on a very clean and comfortable bus. Merce spoke 4 languages quite fluently and was able to answer everyone's questions in their preferred language. Overall, I had a great experience.
Unprofessional, disrespectful, and a total waste of a day.

1.00We booked a day trip from Seville to Caminito del Rey with a 9:50 AM meeting time. The guide did not show up. We spent over an hour calling the provider and messaging them, but no one answered. We were left standing in the winter cold with zero information. At 10:05 AM, a message via GetYourGuide claimed a replacement was coming, but they gave no ETA. We waited until after 11:00 AM. Since we only had a few days in Seville, losing the entire morning meant it was too late to plan any alternative trip. Our day was effectively ruined. The most insulting part? Three minutes after we finally gave up and left, they messaged saying they arrived. We told them we were turning back and would be there in 5 minutes, but they refused to wait and drove off. They expected us to wait over an hour for them in the cold, but they couldn't give us 5 minutes of grace. Don’t be fooled by previous positive reviews. A company shows its true colors by how they handle problems. Their lack of communication and total lack of respect for their customers' time is unacceptable. They took a huge portion of our limited time in Seville and wasted it. Avoid this provider.

1.00It was canceled at last minute due to weather . They told us after visiting the office and no prior communication. It Would have helped if they told us at least in the early morning. By the time it was cancelled at 10am most of the other trips are started ,so we couldn’t reschedule.
Best Hike Ever!
