4.00A must to see and do I think touring company dont matter too much going with this company was just the basics. The views are beyond amazing and so happy to go and not too hard of a walk

5.00Scenic beautiful, to cope with for all who can walk about 3 hours without major breaks. There is a lot going on and you are partly "driven" through the gorge. But definitely worth seeing!

3.00Love Viator…this was a first for us NOT receiving that which we were expecting. The long and short of this experience…would have been 5 stars and high recommend if based on the location and hike alone, with a few caveats: the tour was supposed to be 7 hours (super long in and of itself), but it was actually 8 hours, which on a limited holiday is asking a lot. The itinerary changed right out of the gate and they eliminated the hour tour of Ardales (or it would have been 9 hours). There were numerous bathroom and catch your breath stops (got to almost be a joke for us). Our general finding was this tour could have been trimmed down to 3.5-4 hrs, yielding back half a day to the participants. This would account for a reasonable amount of time on the trail itself. There were inexplicable extra stops to drop off some passengers at stops and hotels (added an extra half hour at least), there were moments of utter confusion and disorganization that I have seldom seen I. A tour company…often making decisions on the fly…like who goes with which group leader and which leader took which group. Another big disappointment was that the English group is mixed with the Spanish and French…so, each ear piece and bus dialogue is spued out 3 times for non-stop chatter and constant chirping in multiple languages. The tour improved dramatically and became far more pleasant and peaceful once removing the earbud from the perpetual Chatty Cathy experience. The pros…the scenery and landscape is breathtaking. The level of difficulty for the hike is LOW…you can and should do it…just get an individual ticket and lead yourself!!!! The hike with the tour is painfully slow and the guide is like a given or on a bus, practically shuffling along, keeping everyone behind her like small school children that just want to get on with it. Overall, happy to have done it, just hate the wasted extra half day for the experience. I guess I have a few good laughs and stories to tell from it (but, at the expense of the experience). On to the next!!!
Impressive, guide is an added value to this place

4.00Beautiful experience, well organized, very cool gods (Pablo from Mechelen) 😁
Very nice place but....

4.00The place deserves so much, exciting ride. However, for the price paid, if I went back I would do it independently and not with an organized tour. Downtime and guidance that didn't bother to integrate us at all. I booked a guide in Spanish but he only went hiking in French and English. I couldn't understand almost anything he was saying. Moreover, French was not even an option language.
Mass tourism

1.00Very poorly organized, pure mass handling, long wait by huge groups. As a German paid more than others on the tour, but the guides speak only very broken German.
Beautyful easy walk. Not for wheelchairs.

5.00Could be crowded but its beautiful!! Easy walk, not steep except reaching the parking to the bus at the end!!!. Not for wheelchairs. A couple of stairs might be little scary if you are afraid of hights and a bridge also. I thing a person with disabilities but strong feet can make it.
Wonderful landscape,...

5.00Wonderful scenery, pleasant market, height but the suspension bridge is less frightening than it looks
How did they do this around 1930???

4.00A visit to Caminito del Rey is really quite an experience. I would have liked more time here myself instead of a stopover in the village before. I would have given 5 stars if the group would have been smaller. 1 group contained 19 pers. the other group more than 30. Worth it anyway!
The Hike of a Lifetime and Very Do-able!
Virginia B,Jan 7, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00It is extremely safe and do-able! Don't be deterred and don't miss out on this stunning experience. The group moves at a very manageable pace for all, with stops along the way. Just be sure to have plenty of water and sun protection (it was 102 in July when we were there). We are all senior citizens, two with ongoing health challenges, and everyone did fine. They also have a medic on hand and can transport anyone out who may need assistance, at any time. Professionally run, wonderful, the hike of a lifetime. Go do it!
