Caminto Del Rey is not to be missed! This is a unique way to take in the Mountain View’s and see some of the natural areas of Spain. We booked this tour because the guided tours through the park were sold out and we really wanted to see this area. Booking with this tour company may have been a waste of money because the only thing the guide did was meet us in the parking lot and walk us to the park entrance- something we could have figured out on our own. Use caution when booking as the tour starts at at El Kiosko and parking is nearly impossible to find in that area. We had to walk about 2 km from the car to the meeting point. Additionally the hike is only one way and the tour doesn’t provide transport back to your car. We had to walk a ways from the exit and find a public bus to get us back. A total pain in the butt and unexpected at the end of the hike.

Wonderfull place which you only can see walking. Good change after beaches, historic towns and cathedrals.

Really enjoyed the experience. The walk was spectacular and it was great getting an idea of how and why it was built from our guide. Loved the paths winding around cliff edges.

The actual Caminito del rey was tremendous 5 stars. Doing it with this tour company not so good. Essentially we were charged a huge premium for what in the end was just the standard guided tour for 18 euros. No added value whatsoever for people like us who just wanted to join the tour without a bus ride from Malaga.

very helpfull stuff.I did not show on time at the meeting point( got little bit lost in the city) , but the guard lady ( unfortunatelly I do not know her name) figure out where and how to pick me up , so the other travel do not waite for their pick up time. She was also informative during the bus ride. Also the stuff in office were so nice. I did one trip by myself and 2 other trips with my friend.

Fantastic day activity! One of the most scenic and beautiful hikes in the area. The route is just stunning, the guides are informed and attentive, the whole experience is perfect. Overall the hike is pretty easy, but there are many steps and waking sticks are not allowed.

Everything was amazing. The two hour drive to the location in the bus was very comfortable. The arm rest were movable, their were curtains to block you from the sun, and the driving was very smooth. The tour guide and the Caminito Del Rey guide were both very nice people. They gave us very important information and stories worth hearing about the bridge. They made sure everyone was safe and would only go to the next stop when the whole group was together. They also gave us a few breaks on the way to drink water of just relax. They both made the trip one you will never forget.

Wonderful experience not to be missed. Stunning views with a great guide providing an extensive explanation of history of the area.

The walk itself is certainly impressive with great views. It wasn't a difficult walk and its well worth doing and a great opportunity for some great photos. We were however frustrated by the lack of information, we were all informed that we MUST bring passports but no one asked to see them all day? The coach from the visitor centre stopped at several locations without any explanation as to which stop we should get off, the driver eventually barked at everyone to get off as we were at the last stop! When we got off the coach there were no signs whatsoever indicating which way to go, we had to ask a guide that was having a coffee. A short walk led us to the meeting area but again mass confusion as no signs whatsoever and over 100 people looking for some guidance from someone! There was a vending machine there selling water from 6 different outlets but EVERY ONE EMPTY! Eventually we were in a queue for our guide and from then on the walk began. We all had earpieces to hear the guide but they weren't great and most of our party simply didn't use them as they were so poor! We did thoroughly enjoy the walk itself but we felt the guide was unnecessary and next time bringing our own water is a must!
