Carmen_V, Mar 2026

Pleasant trip. Recommend it.

Caminito del rey is an amazing place to visit. Our trip was very well organised. Our guide kept well informed. She gave us enough time in every stop, no rushing. Coach was clean and comfortable. Perhaps the only thing to improve, it's the breakfast/ bar stop in the village. A different establishment with more toilets and better quality coffe / food.

Spectacular!👍

It was brilliant, enjoyed every minute! Would recommend to a friend saying it's very safe with a friendly guide all the way through who is very safety conscious!!👍 Definitly recommend comfy but proper walking shoes plus sunglasses as sun can be quite dazzling in places obscuring the view!!👍 Again it was an excellent experience and would highly recommend it to a friend with the proviso of course that they didn't mind heights!!👍 Many thanks for the experience!! 👍🥰❤

The bus tour guide was...

The bus tour guide was Janet was great. Funny lady. The Caminito del Rey itself was amazing. But, the audio system they gave to use for the guided walk was horrible. So much static you couldn’t understand the guide. The tour guide on the walk was nice but fix the audio system or give out a pamphlet people can read. Beautiful area. Highly recommend!
