3.00The Caminito is a stunning walk but nowhere near as ‘edgy’ or scary as it seems to be advertised. Most of it is on normal mountain paths and the bits that are attached to the side of the canyon are now so substantial it didn’t make a lot of difference. If you are someone who suffers that ‘whoa!’ vertigo feeling you may find it more challenging but my friend who is very scared of heights and considered not going said it was fine and even a little disappointing as she wasn’t taken out of her comfort zone. That said it’s a beautiful walk in a stunning location which I would recommend if you are staying nearby. Our trip from Nerja was far too long with all the pickups and drop offs along the way meaning longer in the coach than actually at the destination. Our guide Luis was friendly and professional but I had two problems: 1). We booked an English speaking guide but half our group were German so everything was repeated and I got fed up hearing it in my ear (when the pretty useless earpiece stayed on). I love languages - I am currently in Spain learning Spanish - but I just didn’t enjoy the repetition and having to be on alert for when Luis changed to English. Something to maybe check if it would bother you too. 2). There was not enough general information given about the area. I wanted to know more about the geology and the flora and fauna. How the paths were constructed etc. but we had long periods of ‘radio silence’. The tour group behind us (from another company) were English. The young girl leading them was giving great info. Really interesting and allowing people to ask questions. I ended up hanging back listening to her instead during our quiet times. I dudnt need to have a long period of quiet to then be told ‘this is a beautiful view’ then silence - we were all on the lookout for the views and to be fair they were hard to miss! Overall I probably wouldn’t recommend this tour especially if going from Nerja. However, these are the things I personally didn’t like so if they won’t bother you it’s worth it for the scenery. No adrenaline fuelled experience tho.
Spectacular cliff face walking experience.

5.00A unique walk on well constructed platforms along the cliffs for spectacular views. The groups were well organised by guides along the way with spaces between to give time to soak in the experience.
A unique experience - with a guide who would have given you information in German -- even more unforgettable!!!

3.00ES is worth a trip and just great! This panorama and this experience I can only recommend to everyone. Our guide always had to go back and forth between English and German, although to learn more I booked a tour in German!! Unfortunately, I lacked the information about the whole thing. On the bus ride there we got some information, but not at the individual places and not on site! I would have liked that as ES with other groups, there would have been information and stories and not just a "walk"!
Great experience, worth doing and we will definitely do it again!

5.00Great day, well organised. Our guide Luis was great, information was clear. Going earlier in the day was good as it gets very hot. The pace was perfect, plenty opportunity to take photos. Just bring plenty of water, but there are opportunities to purchase some if you forget!
beautiful scenery. My...

4.00Beautiful scenery. My only small complaint was all the stopping and starting with tour guide. This seemed to happen every few minutes when you really wanted to have a good walk. If doing again I would do without a guide.
