I’d like to give a special review to our , the local guide for English. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful

Dalene_H

This was a great trip. A coach picked us up on time and then we had an English speaking guide when we got there who was very informative. Views were amazing and the walk round was very easy for any age. The only gripe I had was the lack of information regarding what time and place we were to be picked up. Most of us were very confused as to where to go so if you go make sure you find that out before you go off on the tour.

AnaAstrid_S

great day trip in Caminito del Rey. The stop in Ardales was useless since everything was closed except for a coffee shop. No time to visit the castle.

Cynthia_C

Our guide was nice, but it felt like the group was too big and a few people slowed us up so we had to wait. Our guide should have given the tour, not being pawned off to the guides at Alhambra, who were very nice and informative.

JJgrill

Amazing experience & something that should not be missed! Only bad part was the many hours on the bus as we were the first pick up & last drop off of the day! Loved going to the small authentic Spanish town too! Thank you for a very memorable day!

Mayra_S

Fun and exciting experience with a knowledgeable tour guide and clean, comfortable air conditioned bus. The scenery and historical information were awesome

Diego_V

The hike itself was amazing! The town that we went to before going to the hike was very boring with not a lot to do. Seem to be a waste of time

John_M

From start to finish the service was excellent, from the bus driver to the guide both were a credit to both themselves and the tour company. The actual walk itself was easy going as long as you can handle heights. The guide was very informative , with a good bit of humour thrown in for free . There was plenty time to take memorable pictures and nothing was rushed . Very basic level of fitness required and suitable for all ages . No hills , just a few stairs at the end . The visit to the village before the walk was an excellent insight into local life . The highlight for myself was watching scores of vultures soaring above the canyon , just hoping someone didn't make it . Thankfully our full group of 30 made it back and all enriched for the experience. A big thanks to Rubert our guide for his excellent presentation.
