5.00An amazing experience! The organisation by the tour operator and our guide Esmerelda made the trip even more special. Very easy to do with a tour rather than self drive.
Short trip to Spain-Malaga

5.00The old town is amazing. Churches, Cathedrals, Castle, Alcazaba and many others places to see. Green parrots in the parks. Easy travelling by local buses.
Must do experience when visiting Spain!

5.00Unique experience of its kind, really exciting, the photos and videos do not do justice to the real wonder of this place, I recommend bringing a packed lunch because the alternative are the kiosks at the end of the route, which however do not have a wide offer and have prices a bit 'high, the guides really speak many languages and in a perfect way, if you are lucky you will also live the exciting experience of meeting the local fauna (we met a baby wild goat)
Camino Del Rey Tour! What an experience!

5.00We absolutely loved our tour of Caminito del Rey! The views were breathtaking from start to finish and the cliffs, the gorge, and the suspended walkway were simply unforgettable. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable with fun facts and stories about the place. Everything was well-organized and felt very safe. A must-do experience when visiting Málaga!
Not to miss it!

5.00Fully recommended! The route is beautiful and very peculiar. Although it is a little far away the train from Malaga leaves you next to the shuttle bus activity. It is advisable to pay a little more and go with guide the explanations are very worthwhile.
Fantastic walk with a difference!

5.00A great experience! We arrived at the meeting point in Malaga city, the bus was on time and well organised. Our tour guide Luis was great and spoke very good English, but also German for other guests. The coach journey took about an hour. Our walk was at an easy pace and was very informative. The views were amazing and you felt safe and looked after. If in Malaga a must do!
Busy, but beautiful!

4.00Pick up was simple. We stopped in Ardales on the way to use the facilities and grab something to eat for those that wanted to do so. Adorable town. Simple walk to the trailhead to get helmets and such, then off you go. You do get an audio guide as you walk by the guide leading you, but that honestly took away from the experience for me, so I ended up not using that part. The walk is easy for the most part. There are some narrow stairs here and there and it is nerve wracking for some being on a cantilevered path, so it’s not for everyone. This was not an issue for us and the views are astounding! The part I disliked a bit was being with such a large group. You can distance yourself a little bit, but not much, so this definitely doesn’t feel like your typical nature hike. Why you need a guide is beyond me. There are some checkpoints that are necessary, but a guide along the entire route is unnecessary in my opinion. Overall, the company we traveled with, the driver and our organizer were great. The place and hike are incredible, just be ready for the typical crowds.
