Our guide Antonio and bus driver Juan were amazing. We left Sevilla around 930am and returned around 830pm. It’s about a 2-2 1/2 hour drive to the drop-off point in the park. We stopped on the way in Osuna for a walking tour with a local guide around the town. Time was given for bathroom break and to grab a quick bite to eat. After leaving Osuna we stopped at a roadside cafe about 45-60 minutes from the park where most people grabbed a sandwich and something to drink. The hike was approximately 5.6 miles and took about three hours (330pm-630pm). The female guide that we had on the trail was awesome and the pace was comfortable. We were lucky with the weather, it wasn’t too hot or windy. The gorge is spectacular and a must-see. Antonio who is from Sevilla, provided numerous recommendations of local Sevilla places to see & experience such as La Carboneria where you can experience non-staged Flamenco which we appreciated.

This was a great day trip and super easy as a solo traveller. Ines was a great guide and they say was just really easy so u could just enjoy the experience without worrying about the logistics. Highly recommend, Caminito Del Ray was incredible.

We really enjoyed this day trip— definitely worth adding time in for this if you are a fan of beautiful scenery and hiking. Tour guides were very informative— and funny!

Too many people on the track detracts from what was once a beautiful natural place. Poor choice for a lunch stop. Best part was our tour of Osuna.

This tour was exceptional. We had amazing views and some thrilling trekking paths. Guide that was assigned to our group was very informative and she managed the group with ease and very calm. It would be nice to put a note for people to bring something to eat before the tour (or eat home) as the place were we stopped for restroom/coffee/breakfast had very limited selection for food. At the finish line there are plenty of drink and food stands to choose from. Overall very exiting tour and good organization.

Shelly_C

Great experience with a very knowledgeable guide. Learn a lot about native plants and facts in the area. Breathtaking sights and overall a lot of fun.

We loved the Caminito del area walk/hike. Hubby is scared of heights, was glad when the walk was over but definitely enjoyed and was glad he did it. El Chorro lake was stunning also. Tour could definitely be organised better. It was a long 12 hour plus day. Started at 8.45am. We stopped at a pretty town Osuna on the way and had a guided tour of the town plus a toilet/coffee/food break. Then arrived at our drop off point for Caminto del Rey hike, El Chorro lake. We were here for 3 hours! Our walk wasn’t until 4pm we were told. Unfortunately, no one was aware we would be taken to a beautiful lake and left there for so long, if we have known we could have packed a towel and bathers. We had a snack, drink and toilet break, wondered around to admire the water then just sat, and sat, and waited. I would suggest heading straight to Caminito, have toilet/food break then walk, then have time to have a swim, food and drink after the walk (maybe an hour or two depending on the weather). Shorten the day. We were back at 9.30pm. Would recommend this tour but pack bathers/towel. Mind you, you would then need to carry with you on hike as bus unavailable once dropped off.

The hike was amazing! It wasn’t overly strenuous and the guide kept a good pace for everyone to be able to take photos along the way without feeling rushed. The transportation to the hike was comfortable. There was no toilet on the bus so you needed to use the bathroom before you left. Also there were several toilets at the entrance to the hike. Use these bathrooms instead of waiting 30 minutes for the 2 toilets where the bus drops you off. Diego was our guide through Naturanda. Very friendly!

I booked a walk in the morning, we had to want till 16.00. If there was told that swimming was possible, i take my stuff and towels with. Pick-up, explanation and walk was super. But i missed my football match Sevilla against Barcelone, because off the late return.
