We have been on tours worldwide and this is definitely one of the best. Beautiful scenery and interesting history, and a thrill to walk. Our guide ..Ramon...was very good. Informative and humerous. He ran the tour very well. Bus driver was very experienced and they both made a great tour even better. Would highly recommend this tour.

Everything was very professional, bus on time, friendly informed guides, and a safe driver. The walk was at a pace that everyone could enjoy and take in the views. Not a difficult walk by any means and time to eat at the end without rushing back to the bus so very enjoyable.

Great experience and just what I was hoping it would be. The guide for the day Esmerelda was superb and extremely well organised, it was a shame that so few people neglected to offer her a monetary thank you. Would recommend to anyone with a head for heights

We had a great trip , we were picked up in Nerja , 2and half hour drive , but made interesting and fun by our guide Luis , the walk itself is beautiful, not as scary as it looks ! 😊 Very interesting, with great scenery

Well organised
Prompt pickup. Clean modern coach transfer
Well organised and safe tour of this breath taking gorge

The journey on the coach, to the walk, took so long from Nerja (6 hours round trip). I think this should be made clearer in the initial information. For me there were too many people on this tour and I would of been happier with a smaller number of people. I did'nt understand what the tour guide was saying so turned off the commentary in the end. We were lucky because it started to rain near the end of the walk.

Luis our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made our experience fun! Was a great experience with amazing views!

Camino del rey interesting trip but long transfer times from Nerja with drop offs along way (approximately 3 hours). For us it was a 10 hour trip from start to finish. Pick up at 9.10. . 25 minute toilet stop and very quick coffee at 11.35 then no refreshments or toilet stop till finish walk at about 4pm. Aware that no food or drink stops in park but saw other groups stopping for short break. We had a snack in bag but you had to eat on the move. No toilet stop on 3 hour journey back.
Walk itself stunning

Fantastic experience, this is the second time we have done this tour. Both times through Viator, the process is so easy. Caminito is something everyone should experience, fun and fantastic day out.

The Caminito is a stunning walk but nowhere near as ‘edgy’ or scary as it seems to be advertised. Most of it is on normal mountain paths and the bits that are attached to the side of the canyon are now so substantial it didn’t make a lot of difference. If you are someone who suffers that ‘whoa!’ vertigo feeling you may find it more challenging but my friend who is very scared of heights and considered not going said it was fine and even a little disappointing as she wasn’t taken out of her comfort zone. That said it’s a beautiful walk in a stunning location which I would recommend if you are staying nearby. Our trip from Nerja was far too long with all the pickups and drop offs along the way meaning longer in the coach than actually at the destination.
Our guide Luis was friendly and professional but I had two problems:
1). We booked an English speaking guide but half our group were German so everything was repeated and I got fed up hearing it in my ear (when the pretty useless earpiece stayed on). I love languages - I am currently in Spain learning Spanish - but I just didn’t enjoy the repetition and having to be on alert for when Luis changed to English. Something to maybe check if it would bother you too.
2). There was not enough general information given about the area. I wanted to know more about the geology and the flora and fauna. How the paths were constructed etc. but we had long periods of ‘radio silence’. The tour group behind us (from another company) were English. The young girl leading them was giving great info. Really interesting and allowing people to ask questions. I ended up hanging back listening to her instead during our quiet times. I dudnt need to have a long period of quiet to then be told ‘this is a beautiful view’ then silence - we were all on the lookout for the views and to be fair they were hard to miss!
Overall I probably wouldn’t recommend this tour especially if going from Nerja. However, these are the things I personally didn’t like so if they won’t bother you it’s worth it for the scenery. No adrenaline fuelled experience tho.

A unique walk on well constructed platforms along the cliffs for spectacular views. The groups were well organised by guides along the way with spaces between to give time to soak in the experience.

Great day, well organised. Our guide Luis was great, information was clear.
Going earlier in the day was good as it gets very hot. The pace was perfect, plenty opportunity to take photos. Just bring plenty of water, but there are opportunities to purchase some if you forget!
Jennifer_H, Jul 2025
Beautiful scenery. My only small complaint was all the stopping and starting with tour guide. This seemed to happen every few minutes when you really wanted to have a good walk. If doing again I would do without a guide.

We enjoyed a great time on the Caminito del Rey. A very well organised trip with an excellent guide and driver. Thank you Luis and Ricardo.

Advise to book well in advance from UK . Booking secured but Payment not taken until nearer the booking date . Excellent communication from Viator throughout the process . Had been before so would highly recommend the experience although severe weather conditions meant the trip had to be cancelled on this occasion . Have since rebooked and had an amazing trip . Thank you .

Amazing guide Luis, gave us loads of facts at the destination as well as the journey there and back. It's high and the views are amazing.
tara_h, Feb 2025
What an amazing day ! Everything was well planned. Long trip there from Nerja, but well worth it.
Our guide Luis was great, very informative and approachable. Coach comfortable. The walk was amazing, trainers are suitable. We had a great day thank you. Would recommend ☺️.

Joanne_B, Sep 2024
Really pleased we did this, was a bit apprehensive at first looking at the pictures but it is really safe, the views are amazing and Luis our tour guide was very good, well worth a visit
Marc_S, Aug 2024
A really wonderful trip to Caminito del Rey, Viator are a great tour company, with a pick up point in Nerja, they were reliable and experienced. Trip guides were excellent, very knowledgeable, and led the trip with enthusiasm and energy. Would highly recommend booking with them - special thanks to Esmerelda and Luis!
Deborah_P, Jun 2024
Stunning and exciting walk/hike unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Fantastic views. Great guide who told us about the history and kept the transfer journey interesting by sharing information about the region.
Helen_L, Jun 2024
Fantastic experience with amazing scenery, guides Luiz and Esmerelda were brilliant and very informative. Would definitely recommend this tour
William_M, May 2024
Positive - Excellent tour guides, comfortable transfers, well paced walking, superb views throughout along well constructed and safe walkways.
Negative - I was given a single pick up point outside of Nerja (Hotel Marinas de Nerja) costing me a €16 taxi fare, and I later found out from Luis (the Viator guide) that I could have been picked up at two other places in Nerja, both within easy walking distance from my hotel! Really poor communication from Viator.
