A Gorge To Remember

5.00Started tour with a visit to Osuna, a picturesque “white“ village. Several churches and very nice parks and squares. I happened to lose my way, but Lauren came to my rescue. Much appreciated. The drive to Caminita del Rey was gorgeous. The hike through the Gorge was somewhat demanding, but everyone did quite well, no one complained. The guides at the gorge were excellent and humorous (Stefano) i learned a lot of interesting history about this hydroelectric area. Highly recommend.

1.00Italian guide absent, not received. On the way back we were made to wait 1 hour for a bus to return which we could not even catch in the end. We had to take a taxi because it was 7.30pm and there were no more public buses. Poor organization
Don't invest the time

3.00The hike itself was scenic & fun, but the multiple delays in getting to the destination and the mediocre guides made it feel like a waste of scarce vacation time. This might be a good trip from a closer city such as Granada. I would not recommend an 11 hour round trip from Seville to do a 2.5 hour hike.
A fabulous and safe path

5.00Perfect tour. Well the transport and the guide (Mercy Carlotta) who, despite not feeling well, did everything not to fail in his duty. Very interesting. Beautiful environment.
Long walk before and...

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
