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. 👍🏻
25 years ago I saw a picture of a stunning natural feature in an obscure magazine. I got in my rental car and set off, not really knowing where I was going, driving on a road that became more and more scary . Narrow, no guardrail and parts of the road had just disappeared. I clenched my teeth and carried on. And was it worth it! Around a bend, and there it was. Garganta del Chorro .Incredibly high and narrow with a river at the bottom What really got to me, was the remnants of a wooden "walkway" more than halfway up the side of the ravine, culminating in a spindly "hanging bridge". Later I found out that it was created for king Alfonso XIII to observe the huge dams that were constructed as a water reservoir for the the Malaga Province. Therefore the name "Caminito del Rey". And for years I just came back here again and again. Every time it took my breath away. With the landscape around it, the enchanted forest and the wide, blue dams. Very few people seemed to know about it, mostly daredevil climbers. But as with Picasso, who lived his first 8 years in Malaga, but never came back, the powers that be found out that there was money to be had. So they restored the caminito which had been lethal to try walking on. And suddenly tour operators demand up to 275.- euros for the "unique experience" of walking through the gorge. I just fear the typical consequences of too many people discovering it, and then the magic disappears. As has happened so sadly often in other places...
using the coach was a nice way to get to Caminito del rey and the tickets and times were already booked for you . the scenery is stunning.Iam not that good with heights but coped with the experience.Its well worth the day out.
Excellent trip cost 88€ for 4 of us. We drove to the start. Some of the tour operators seem to be exploiting this trip.
Not only did we get to experience the beauty of the Spanish mountains and hike an exciting trail, but you took extremely good care of our family members who were having a little trouble with the walk. We will never forget the experience!
Caminito Del Rey tour was truely amazing, it took almost 3 hours to complete and the hike was 7.2km long from start to finish. The views of the canyon was truly breathtaking. Our guide Amanda was really friendly and she spoke good English, we had good conversations with her and she explained everything about the the historical walkway. A must visit destination if you’re in the Area!
Visited this beautiful hike and it was worth every penny. This guided tour was one of the best experiences I've had in years. From the safety measures taken by the team, to the guide explaining every single detail all through the trail, it was the best way to conquer my fear of heights. Not only is this a treat for the hikers but also for people who love scenic views. At every turn you will see a beautiful landscape and it's worth clicking. If in Malaga, this has got to be on the top of your list. *Make sure you check the weather before you travel, at times if the weather is not good, you may have to return. *It's important to dress comfortably and carry along some snacks and water along the way. *At the beginning of the hike you will find a washroom, it' best to visit the restroom then since you will find nothing till the end of the trail. *The trail is about 3.2 kms long along the hills and a 2kms walk down the hill.
<p>Many thanks to our private tour guide Rocio. She did a great job telling us all you have to know about the Caminito del Rey in a very friendly and competent way. The Caminto del Rey is an awesome canyon and we can highly recommend this trecking tour to everyone.</p>
<p>Loved this trekking tour which has some incredible views and some nerve testing moments. Beautiful sunny day with Isabelle as she explained the amazing history of this gorge and what was accomplished here. Private tour for our four family members which made it even more special.</p> <p>Not sure why we were asked to meet at Barcello Hotel in Malaga. Thus required a fourth minute train ride from Fuengirola. Even our guide asked why this was happening. Should have been picked up near our rental house and saved everyone some time.<br/> Otherwise, wonderful time had by all.</p>
<p>The Caminito in perfect weather was amazing. Tours In Malaga, who arranged our trip, and Rocio, our private guide, performed perfectly. Thanks</p>
<p>i took this private tour with Malaga Tours and my guide was Maria. I highly recommend this tour. first, Caminito del Rey is a work of wonder by nature, everyone should see it, the tour is a perfect mix of nature, adventure, history and culture. second, the tour is great with private car, hotel pick up and drop off, a private tour so i got all the attention, good pace, no rush in anyway, i could stop as often and take as many photos as desired. last but not least, Maria is an awesome guide, highly recommend Maria to everyone she is on time, professional, pleasant and knowledgeable, the whole trip was filled with pleasant conversation just about every topic. i really enjoyed the whole experience, highly recommend it.</p>
