Fantastic walk with informative guide
An incredibly beautiful hiking trail. Not suitable for people with a fear of heights. The tour included pickup from the hotel. And our tour guide was great. Speaks fluent German, English, and Spanish. The tour was in German and English. Price performance is okay.
Nice trip to experience. Beautiful views. And very doable. Bring enough water. Could be pretty hot in there.
Bus come and pick us up at nerja bus station. Ac on the bus good leader so you felt safe. Very nice stay. You were divided into 2 groups and got a good helmet on for search. Very nice nature around. I’m not afraid of heights at all so felt ridiculous with all the talk about the bridge the last because everything felt very calm but I promise it was fun to cross the bridge. Blew like hell. That was the most fun. Had a lot and drank a big beer we finished. There are some small kiosks there.
We really enjoyed it overall. Everything was super organized and informative.
We loved our trip to Caminito del Rey and would highly recommend anyone doing it if you’re thinking about it. Our tour guides were great; Lois on the bus was very informative and very friendly, he shared a lot of information on the way to and from destination in both English and German. We had clear guidance about pick up points and when on the bus timings too. Caminito Del Rey was epic, very breathtaking and a beautiful site to see. We are both not great with heights but felt safe the whole time and loved taking in the scenery. We would suggest taking plenty of water as it was very hot there, plus be prepared for a long day. We went from Nerja at 7:45 and arrived back at nearly 5pm.
Can be described in one word: spectacular. Highly recommended.
This was a great experience. It’s a long time on the bus from Nerja, however it was much easier than hiring a car or getting public transport. Louis was very informative and helpful and the trek itself was excellent. Our driver was also very skilled and managed to negotiate some very tricky situations with ease!
Our tour guide at Caminito del Rey, Arancha, was a very humorous, knowledgeable guide. We unfortunately got caught by a rain half way through the walk but her sense of humour and encouraging spirit helped us and other people power through! The guide on the bus (Luis) and the bus driver (Miguel) were also quite friendly and welcoming as well.
Fantastic trip .As I am 80 wasn’t sure I could do it but the guide was so supportive & encouraging I managed.Another tick off the bucket list
