Transportation was prompt and nicely accommodating. Once we arrived at Caminito del Ray, guide was waiting for us and made sure we had everything we needed for the hike. Guide was very friendly and explained lots of interesting facts along the hike. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a private experience.
We booked a private tour that was well worth the extra cost. Safe, well maintained trails to hike. Our guide, Juan, was friendly and made the trip extremely interesting. His rock climbing experience and knowledge of the geology of the area enhanced the trip. He also included local stories that we appreciated. Take water and a snack. Definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful time at Caminito del Rey. The views and explanations of the formations were excellent. We even saw a few wild pigs down by the water. This is a physical activity with lots of walking. My children were all tired afterwards.
Wonderful trip to Caminito del Rey. Our guide Thomas was very helpful with our family especially during busy week in Malaga! Trip was exactly as described and smooth with Thomas coordinating the travel and ticketing. Weather was rainy and he thoughtfully provided ponchos and water for us all. Our guide At Caminito del Rey was also good and we enjoyed the hike and scenic views. Excellent way to get to Caminito del Rey with a personalized family feel and comfortable transportation!
Maria was the BEST tour guide! Very informative and gave us a good history of Caminito Del Rey. Thank you Maria!
Juan (via viator) was full of information and kept us moving throughout the tour. Wind blowing over the suspension bridge provided an extra element of excitement near the end.
Just get their group tour tickets online for £18 roughly. Simplzz. Not signposted well at all in the real world, could be a lot better. But a nice day out, no need for walking boot, but some grip required if the wood has been rained on. The website says arrive one hour early, we did two and just made the tour time as parking was an issue in the free car park at point 2 I think it was, ie none left and once u get to the back then it’s a pain to do a tight turn.
Tina was the most enthusiastic, patient , knowledgeable, and friendly guide we have ever had. There were 6 mid seventy year olds in our group. She never showed any surprise or lack of confidence in our abilities.She is the best. Thank you…a highlight of our cruise.
Caminito del rey is superb, the 3 hrs each way trip was not great. Strongly recommend you hire a car , 1 hr each way then . Also try and pre book tickets for the walk in advance, Very difficult to get hold of.
Wonderful adventure- smooth ride there, the driver was very professional, and our lady guide really kind and informative and super friendly. 👍🏻
