Abandoned on the side of a mountain with a young child in the rain. We had to walk for two hours until we found the tour

I came with my wife, son & daughter. We walked to the start with tour. My daughter & I were refused admission as we had no I.D.

A definite activity while visiting Malaga

I did this tour with my three 20 something year old kids. My son said this was his favorite activity we did while visiting Malaga. The bus ride was pleasant and took an hour and we got to stop to use the facilities before arriving at Caminito del Rey. Our tour guide was very good, but the highlight is the awe inspiring beauty of the gorge. We couldn't take enough pictures of everything.

Worth the hike even in the rain

Wonderful experience overall and amazing views and story. It is a long day and not for those that can not walk a lot or in variable conditions.

Fabulous

SUPER-fantastic tour. Bus travel from and to Malaga was flawless. Tour guide Alex was entertaining, considerate and efficient. We lucked up and got Rachel as a guide for the walking part of the tour. She was excellent, taking time to encourage and answer questions, and was also very entertaining. The natural beauty of this place is totally amazing. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see something unique. (There are other similar places in the world, however this one is probably the most accessible for normal people who are not expert mountaineers). Overall, I'd say this tour is a MUST-DO when in the Malaga area. VERY enjoyable and HIGHLY recommended.

Wonderful experience - such a beautiful place and well worth a visit. The guide Rachel was superb very knowledgable and managed the large group well. Very expensive though! Previous Viator trip cancelled a few days before that was cheaper for a smaller group 🤨

Great excursion to Caminita del Rey.

Bus left early from the outside the train station in Malaga so get there early. Everything was straightforward, bathroom stop was made 3/4 of the way there. We put on our hard hats and walked the trail. Our guide was nice taking pictures for everyone along the way. Good explanation of the history of Caminita del Rey. Highly recommend.

Trail on the cliff

The tour worked well. Bus takes you right there, no hassle to rent a car. The natural features, combined with the historical aspects of why a walkway on the cliff is beyond word. Have to see it for yourself. If you're fearful of heights, not for you. However, the platform trail is very stable and wide. Again, views are stunning.

Wonderful tour and walk

Juan Carlos was our guide and he was fantastic. The tour moved at just the right pace and we felt like we were on our own, but received just the right bits of information along the way to enrich the tour and learn so many fascinating things we would not have learned if we were on our own. Perfect day!

Great trip!

My 14-year-old daughter loved this hike and hates hiking. She was complaining about it for a week before the activity and once we were there, she was totally in love! (This never happens! I usually have to hear the complaints for an additional week.) The guides (bus and actual tour) were informative. They took great photos. And both were charismatic. They made sure everybody was accounted for each time they talked, gave time to explore and take photos, and might have opened my kid up for future hikes! Loved this tour. I would totally take additional tours with them if the opportunity were to exist.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that your daughter enjoyed the hike, especially considering how reluctant she was beforehand. Moments like these are so rewarding, and we’re glad the tour left such a positive impression on her. Our guides work hard to ensure everyone feels included and has time to take in the surroundings, and we’re happy to know their efforts made the day even more special for your family. If you decide to join us for another tour in the future, we’ll be delighted to welcome you back. Warm regards, The Tours in Malaga Team
