5.00The hike is breathtaking. Amazing. One of a kind. We have 3 kids one youngest 11 years old and she did great. It is very high. Hike is not technically difficult. About 4 miles. Always seemed safe. But very high. So glad we did it. The day is long. We left at 10 am and got back at 8:45 pm. Stopping in Osuna was a nice break and very enlightening. Spent about 90 minutes there. The entire day there is a bit too much downtime. Hike is about 2 to 2.5 hours. The park guide (not our tour guide) was a bit slow for being a park guide as far as hiking pace. Our tour guide Rebeca was fantastic. Very informative. Kept the entire day a lot of fun.
Do it yourself!!!

1.00Waste of time. Whilst Caminito Del Rey is amazing, this tour takes way too long taking you to useless destinations/giving you way too much free time. Make the effort and do by yourself
Good and bad

4.00The organizing tour guide wasn’t very good, she had to ask for directions multiple times in Osuna. Alex our hiking tour guide was amazing, very knowledgeable with great sense of humour.
Coordination could be better

5.00Hike was awesome and guide was very enthusiastic and entertaining. The hike was only a 2 hr hike but it was stretched into a full day. We spent too much time waiting to do the hike. We arrived at the trail head at noon and didn’t start the hike until 3:30 which was a half hour late from when it was scheduled to start. The town we stopped at was almost deserted. No shops were open and 1 restaurant was open.
Fantastic day out!

5.00Early pick up at 9am, three pick ups altogether. We were pick up two. Long drive with a stop for a quick drink, snack, using the facilities. Carlos our operator gave us lots of information about things as we drive past them. We then arrived at the location and had three hours to ourselves. We decided to have a small hike of our own up to some viewing points overlooking the reservoirs and ate in one of the restaurants overlooking the water. We then met back at agreed time and were taken through a tunnel in the mountain to the Caminito del Ray entrance. Safety talk and helmet provided. Three hour or so hike along the path. Stunning views and nice history provided by Jesus, our guide. He took photos of us at certain points and explained a lot of flora and fauna. Overall, 22,000 steps done but a fantastic day. Get home back to Seville quite late about 9pm.
