It was a magical and beautiful experience. Esther our guide took the time to explain to us the history of the Caminito del Rey and although I was afraid at the beginning she assured me that it will be OK and she was right . It is a magnificent place and everyone should visit it.

Alvor was our guide for the bus journey and was were professional and also made the trip very enjoyable. Omar was our guide on the Camino and was excellent, put us at ease and was full of knowledge and encouragement. Thanks to both guides.

A hiking experience!

ThereseConway, Apr 2024

Our guide was very informative, and went a nice steady pace. The views were amazing, and the final bridge was an experience. Once the tour was over, there was abit of a walk back to the bus, so be prepared to do some extra walking even when the tour is finished.

Benjamin_S, Feb 2024

I will come back next year. It‘s a really good experience. But you have to hold your phone very tight. If you let it fall it will drop down 100 m to the ground.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thanks so much for your opinion! happy you had a good day!

Amazing views

Sany_M, Feb 2024

It was a really good experience specially the views. They pick you from the location in the morning and drop you off by 2/3pm back there. On the wag they stop at a station so you can do your breakfast and buy a sandwich for later which I would recommend buying if haven’t got any other food with you. Definitely make sure the weather is good in our case it was. However I doubt it will be enjoyable in bad weather I did pay £48 which was a bit pricey try book it as early as possible to get it for cheaper.

Thanks so much for your opinion! happy you had a good day!

Fantastic Day to Caminito del Rey

SeanRaymond_Q, Jan 2024

The tour was very well organised. The bus was comfortable and had helpful usb charger point to keep phone charged. The toilet/snack stop enroute at petrol station was helpful. The tour guide, I think her name was Estelle was fantastic, she was friendly, approachable, and gave interesting facts along the way, she offered to take photos for the guests, she was fantastic. The Caminito del Rey itself is stunning, definitely worth the trip if you are able. The tour company made it a good journey too/from it.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you very much for your comment!

Spectacular Experience!

Yen_Y, Jan 2024

Straight forward pick up and explanation of what to expect. We were a big group so split in half and the guide we had for the walk, was great but his English wasn't fluent so hard to understand. It's about a 45mins drive to a service station where we stopped for drinks and anyone needing snacks (and the bathroom). It's pretty basic so best to bring food/drink with you. Then about. 10min drive to the drop off. You are given a helmet and radio (for the guide to explain what we are seeing). Cool at the start as it was windy, but basically perfect day - clear blue skies, not hot (till we got near the end and it was after noon). Recommend the walk, it is amazing. No walking sticks allowed and the walk is about 2.5-3 hours I think. Some kiosks for drinks at the end of the walk.
