5.00This hike was next-level amazing. The Caminito del Rey totally lives up to the hype—you’re walking along cliffside paths with jaw-dropping views of the gorge, turquoise river, and towering rock walls. It’s wild in the best way. Huge shoutout to our guide, Louis, who made the whole experience even better. Super friendly, full of cool facts, and kept the group moving at just the right pace. We never felt rushed, but we also didn’t waste time—everything ran like clockwork. Louis even pointed out spots we might’ve missed and made sure everyone felt safe and confident. Would 100% recommend—especially if you get Louis as your guide.
Trip of a life time

3.00The journey on the coach, to the walk, took so long from Nerja (6 hours round trip). I think this should be made clearer in the initial information. For me there were too many people on this tour and I would of been happier with a smaller number of people. I did'nt understand what the tour guide was saying so turned off the commentary in the end. We were lucky because it started to rain near the end of the walk.
Highly recommended excursion

5.00Great tour, punctual at pick up point, price/performance very good. Incredible scenery. Stop at Ardales would not be necessary in our view. Tour guide Luis explained everything very well in German and English. We mean the best tour guide of all our 7 excursions.
Travel to Caminito del Ray with Luis as tour guide. 10 out of 10 points.
