Well organized and great knowledge of area of the hike! Was also a bonus for a stop to a smaller Spanish town
Paul_C, June 2026
Wow, what an absolutely beautiful place this is, great experience the guide tells you the whole history of the place, stunning scenery

Well organised. Luis the coach rep was well organised, informative and engaging. You do need to wear good footwear like trainers. Despite wearing my sturdy arch support Berkenstocks I wasn't allowed to do the excursion unless I bought a pair of the most uncomfortable daps for €30 which had no arch support so I had blisters and sore feet by the end. The terrain is a little rough, but doable, not for the faint-hearted. Fabulous experience, amazing views and scenery. The guide at the Caminito was also knowledgeable, gave a great history of the place. A little more time to take in the views and shear size of the place would have been nice and the headsets kept breaking up. Still an amazing day and would do again in trainers.

This is a must do trip. Fantastic scenery. From the coach trip from Malaga, the tour itself, and return journey all went incredibly smoothly. The guide was wonderful and very informative. Can't recommend this trip enough.

Beautiful trip, lovely sceneries in Caminito del Rey. Everything was well organized. The guide was also very good.
Haulwen_M, May 2026
Well organised tour with comfortable transport and great guide.
The walk was lovely around 5 miles but as a walker I personally found it a bit slow due to the information being shared by the guide.
Views scenery were spectacular not a bad tour I’m not skating it at all but I would personally have prepared to be able to walk it myself and go a little quicker.
Helen_W, May 2026
Great experience but very slow, be patient.
Really good day but if you are used to hiking / walking on a regular basis you will find this very tame. Worth doing the tour for the history

It is a little scary but way cool! It is important to not have any mobility issues and be able to comfortably walk 5 miles.
FISHERISLANDMAIL, Apr 2026
Everything was great. Esmeralda the guide was wonderful and all went smoothly. And we even had an extra stop in a white village that was great.
Denys_L, Apr 2026
Our visit to Caminito del Rey was awesome !! Highly recommend it! Our host on the bus was very informative and made the bus trip enjoyable. Our guide for the trek through the Caminito was also very informative and kept a good pace.
david_a, Apr 2026
Was not sure what to expect but turned out to be amazing. Leisurely hike over elevated walkways with breathtaking views of deep gorges and river. You are literally walking on side of a mountain. Guides were great with explanations of history and construction. This is a must see destination!

Perfectly safe. Beautiful all the way,.verder nice guide on the bus. He spoke very good english and not too faster.
Rebekah_W, Mar 2026
Our tour guide, Louis, was fantastic and professional. He told us lots of interesting facts and history about Malaga and the Camanito del Rey. The walk itself was so picturesque and some excellent photo opportunities.
Definitely wear supportive and comfy shoes and bring water and snacks. We loved it and would do it again.
Tamera_T, Mar 2026
Incredible views, most of hike is on boardwalk hanging off side of rock walls!! So fun, not strenuous, but very high up. Allow time (20-30 min)to find parking and walking to meeting point, we barely made it.. Also, there are food and drink vendors at the end so you don’t need to bring food. You can’t really even stop to eat anything along the way.

It’s under an hour by coach from Málaga, and be prepared for a fair amount of walking. The views are stunning and it’s lovely to explore a different part of Málaga/Spain. Even though I’m not a fan of heights, I felt completely fine crossing the suspension bridge.
The descent afterwards is entirely downhill, so your toes and calves definitely feel it. But overall, I’m really pleased I went — a memorable and worthwhile experience
Peter_B, Mar 2026
Our guide for the actual walk was Pepe. He was great. Young, enthusiastic, knowledgeable
and amusing. The weather helped although it did get very windy at times
Barbara_V, Feb 2026
Breathtaking views, informative guide, unique experience, well organized, description is very accurate. Pretty easy flat walk. A little longer than I expected but well worth it!
Claire_R, Feb 2026
From pick up to dropping us off, it was a great day out. Luis was very welcoming and informative for the journey up to the location, great personality and a great sense of humour, must be hard for someone who has done it so many times but he made it like it was special for us. Speaks excellent English and German.
Organisation at the beginning of the walk was efficient and quick and we were assigned a great local guide Toby who was informative and great fun.
The time was great late February, not too hot and not too cold, bit of wind but other than that, excellent conditions.
We took a packed lunch, but as long as you have a good breakfast, you will last to the many kiosks at the end of the trek.
Lovely day out for a Sunday excursion.
Would recommend as the area and scenery is lovely and the walk not too hard.
Jose_M, Feb 2026
Simply, the best. If you are wondering if you can complete this, yes you can! Well paced with time for pictures and breaks to rest a little…The views are spectacular.
Zoe_S, Feb 2026
Had an amazing trip. Caminito del Rey was just stunning. Our guide Pablo was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate in his delivery of information. Our guide to and from Caminito was great also, giving us just enough information on the journey to look at sights enroute and also to relax.
I would highly recommend.
Chris_M, Feb 2026
Amazing trip, we had a great set of guides for the whole tour. Really enjoyed the history and the passion shown was refreshing. Would recommend to anyone
Pardo_M, Feb 2026
A great experience. Luis was a wonderful guide. The scenery is breathtaking. The trail is secure and very well maintained. The bus ride was comfortable. The meeting point is easy to get to. Overall, a memorable day trip.
Niloy_D, Feb 2026
It was good overall. The 1st phase was superb, 2nd was a bit boring and 3 rd canyon was good. The experience of the gorge from the short bridge was not as exciting as is portrayed by the guides.
Karren_M, Feb 2026
Well organised and beautiful scenery. Meeting point was easy to find. There was lots of information and explanation of the day. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The walk itself was not hard but at times daunting only due to the height. The view spectacular and crossing the bridge at the end over the 3rd canyon is a must do
Evgeniy_K, Jan 2026
Absolutely stunning views - highly recommended! If you a photographer - take wide angle lenses like 10 or 16mm
lucy_r, Jan 2026
Wonderful guide .. knowledgeable. Good pace lots of interesting facts .. amazing scenery.. fantastic experience
Roxanne_C, Dec 2025
Carmen was super knowledgeable and very friendly. She took us to a parking lot which housed a casket from the Jewish cemetery as well as a coffee shop, which is sitting on top of a Mikvah. We would never have seen either of these without this tour.
