Please be prepared to wear the helmets, it is a must thing Also, do it on your last day of vacation, so you won't be in pain the day after. It's a lot of walking, up and down If you are afraid of heights - reconsider the trip
Very well organised. Logistical nightmare to do it yourself

A great, organised trip. We were picked up in Malaga at 11am. The journey takes around 1 hour. We stopped off at a small village Ardales, on the way, to have a quick coffee and toilet stop. (Apparently, in case the toilets were not working at the Camininto Del Rey) Anyway, the loos were working at CDR, so all good. We were issued helmets, radios and a guide, ready for our walk. The complete walk, was 8.5 km (5 miles approx) including a 20 min walk from the coach drop off to the start. The walk can be done by anyone with a reasonable fitness. We regularly walk, so it was easy for us. There are quite a few steps at the end of the walk. At the end, there is a half hour break, where you can rest, buy a drink and food. (Personally we took a roll as the meal deal, looked like a slice of bread with a tiny drink!) The chips, however looked good. We were then ushered together to walk the short way to the coach. To summarise, a very well organised trip.
Rude staff on key spots

Great activity. We liked it a lot. Less points ill give only because there are rude ppl from the staff in key areas that are rude to the visitors. I understand most of the journey is single file but in the most amazing spots someone to tell you only one picture or im calling the security is unacceptable. We are paying your wages, don't forget that. If you cant cope with the crowd, less ppl should be allowed to go and experience this track. Being greedy and let many groups to pass every 30 minets ruins the whole experience. I don't like paying money to be pushed and force to move faster. Otherwise is must see thing near Malaga.
A Worthy Experience

It was great! Best ever! About an hour outside of Malaga and the bus ride was nice and easy with great sights. Upon arrival, the helmets went on and we took off on wooden and metal walkways along the side of cliffs-yikes! Then the bridge! Felt like Indiana Jones! Truly, an amazing experience. Then a little bit hiking and back to the beginning.

Fabulous tour - it was everything promised and so much more . The meeting point was perfect and we were guided about the itinerary on the bus . Esmerelda was informed and her English was impeccable. She handed us over to Marie who walked us through the Caminito , sharing details around the history of the route and its wildlife . She was awesome . The pace was kind and perfect for everyone . I’d considered doing this independently but this gave so much more richness to the experience . Highly recommend.
