What are people saying about El Caminito del Rey

From Malaga Caminito del Rey Guided Tour with transportation

Julie_B, Sep 2026

Excellent excursion from Malaga

Caminito del Rey is a must do if you can. Well organised excursion, book early for best time slots, but completely do-able in the midday heat. I was a bit worried about the walkway height, but unless you choose to look over the safety barrier you should be ok. Absolutely loved it, our guide Moses was great and helped with my nerves over the 2 suspension bridges. Laura who met us at the pick up point in Malaga was lovely and our coach driver Andres was exceptional managing the mountain roads.

Best thing I did in Malaga!

Best thing I did in Malaga! Excellent guide, high quality safety equipment, and photos/video taken for you on the route. Not too difficult for beginners, the route has a zipline and two bridges. Highly recommended!

Give it a go!

From the moment of pick up, we felt well looked after, the coach was v comfortable and air conditioned. Once we were underway Luis was giving us snippets of information about things on the journey, and as we got closer he explained what would happen when we got to the Caminito, he was professional and funny and put everyone at ease, the caminito is amazing and very safe, give it a go!
