5.00This is great trip !! Transportation, and everything that you need it makes things a little simpler! It was a little hard to find the pick up. Read the instructions as much as you possibly can all the instructions are there just not seen them. Make sure you get on the right bus with your reservation quite a few people had her name on different buses didn't understand that little confusing but we did figure it out.

5.00Although the bus was late in the morning, the tour went very well. Stop in the small village of Ardales then head towards the chemin du Roy with Noelia. Beautiful safe walk. A must in the Malaga region.
Gorge was nice to see, but you’ve been hurdled like cattle through the gorge by your tour guide

1.00Be prepared for the mass volume of people you . I’ll think you’re in Disneyland the amount of people that go through the gate is 1400 people a day. You’ll be queueing up just to move from one section of the path to the next section with your group.Also you’ll cover probably close to 8- 9 km of walking, they don’t tell you that part..
Be prepared for a fun and interesting hike

5.00This is a long hike and if you have mobility issues I do not recommend. There are lots of stairs when going through the mountain and if you are afraid of heights, all I can say is push through it! It’s only a small portion. I loved the hike, the history, interesting, and I highly recommend it!
Breathtaking views

5.00Beautiful breathtaking view of the cave and mountains. I went with family and everyone enjoyed. I would definitely recommend to visit. Our tour guide Carlos was amazing. We were also lucky to see ibex. Definitely need to carry water and quick snacks as there is nothing available during the hike. There are few shops available at the start and at the end of the hike. Also toilets are at the start and at the end nothing available in the middle of the hike.
Great experience
