Enjoyable and interesting day out

5.00Me and my bestie (in our 50s), did this and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Esmeralda , Alejandro and Juan made for an enjoyable day. Juan was our guide for the walk and was friendly and knowledgable. We would definitely recommend it if you are coming to Malaga.
Great day out

3.00Well organised tour with comfortable transport and great guide. The walk was lovely around 5 miles but as a walker I personally found it a bit slow due to the information being shared by the guide. Views scenery were spectacular not a bad tour I’m not skating it at all but I would personally have prepared to be able to walk it myself and go a little quicker.
A great walk

4.00Great experience but very slow, be patient. Really good day but if you are used to hiking / walking on a regular basis you will find this very tame. Worth doing the tour for the history
Would highly recommend

5.00It was just spectacular and a great experience (though you should be dizzy). The tour was well organized and our guide Esmeralda expert and very personable.

4.00A beautiful day with Esmeralda and Paolo, our guide on site. Beautiful views of rocks and everything was well organized. The idea of splitting our large group into two smaller ones to make the Caminoto was a very good idea. Luckily!
It is a little scary but...

5.00It is a little scary but way cool! It is important to not have any mobility issues and be able to comfortably walk 5 miles.
The long walk

5.00it was stunning going through the canyons and along the wooden platforms, there were a lot of people that would stop to take a photos, but this did not allow people behind to pass by, the guide could have made this clear that if you want a photo allow space for others to pass, the guide was "Luis" and was fantastic he could speak 5 languages fluently, i am 67 & my wife is 66 and by the time we where returning to the picnic area we were worn out, we did 16,000 steps. the picnic area was very well set out with various shops, this hike would be very difficult in the peek of summer, all in all this was a moment to remember!!
