This was an amazing experience! Definitely not for the faint of heart or those afraid heights. The views were stunning and our guide Maria (del mar) was informative, funny, and kind. The Caminito Del Rey is not to be missed- we even saw mountain goats roaming in their natural habitat! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Can be a bit physically demanding but well worth it! Listen to the guide regarding the safety concerns because they really do know best. Helmets are NOT optional.

The walk is incredible and you should definitely do it if you're able to. I didn't feel the guided part added much - the village we stopped at was primarily to use the toilet, and the audio devices didn't have the best reception so I missed a lot of what the tour guide was saying during the route. But the caminito del ray itself was a great experience and if the tour allows you to do it (individual tickets had sold out when I was planning my trip), then I still think it's worth it.

can be a bit crowded. But they managed it very well.
The tour guide on the actual walk talked too much and it was difficult to understand her. We took our headphones off after 10 minutes.

Well organised. Your guides very friendly, informative and helpful. Ran on schedule and bus was very comfortable.

Cesar and Irene were great guides. Very pretty and unusual walk through the canyon! I really enjoyed it!!

A must to see and do I think touring company dont matter too much going with this company was just the basics. The views are beyond amazing and so happy to go and not too hard of a walk

Love Viator…this was a first for us NOT receiving that which we were expecting. The long and short of this experience…would have been 5 stars and high recommend if based on the location and hike alone, with a few caveats: the tour was supposed to be 7 hours (super long in and of itself), but it was actually 8 hours, which on a limited holiday is asking a lot. The itinerary changed right out of the gate and they eliminated the hour tour of Ardales (or it would have been 9 hours). There were numerous bathroom and catch your breath stops (got to almost be a joke for us). Our general finding was this tour could have been trimmed down to 3.5-4 hrs, yielding back half a day to the participants. This would account for a reasonable amount of time on the trail itself. There were inexplicable extra stops to drop off some passengers at stops and hotels (added an extra half hour at least), there were moments of utter confusion and disorganization that I have seldom seen I. A tour company…often making decisions on the fly…like who goes with which group leader and which leader took which group. Another big disappointment was that the English group is mixed with the Spanish and French…so, each ear piece and bus dialogue is spued out 3 times for non-stop chatter and constant chirping in multiple languages. The tour improved dramatically and became far more pleasant and peaceful once removing the earbud from the perpetual Chatty Cathy experience. The pros…the scenery and landscape is breathtaking. The level of difficulty for the hike is LOW…you can and should do it…just get an individual ticket and lead yourself!!!! The hike with the tour is painfully slow and the guide is like a given or on a bus, practically shuffling along, keeping everyone behind her like small school children that just want to get on with it. Overall, happy to have done it, just hate the wasted extra half day for the experience. I guess I have a few good laughs and stories to tell from it (but, at the expense of the experience). On to the next!!!

Could be crowded but its beautiful!! Easy walk, not steep except reaching the parking to the bus at the end!!!.
Not for wheelchairs. A couple of stairs might be little scary if you are afraid of hights and a bridge also. I thing a person with disabilities but strong feet can make it.
Virginia_B, Jan 2026
It is extremely safe and do-able! Don't be deterred and don't miss out on this stunning experience. The group moves at a very manageable pace for all, with stops along the way. Just be sure to have plenty of water and sun protection (it was 102 in July when we were there). We are all senior citizens, two with ongoing health challenges, and everyone did fine. They also have a medic on hand and can transport anyone out who may need assistance, at any time. Professionally run, wonderful, the hike of a lifetime. Go do it!

Great weather and landscape and not too Crowded on the 30th december 2025 made a Great experience for us.

This is great trip !! Transportation, and everything that you need it makes things a little simpler! It was a little hard to find the pick up. Read the instructions as much as you possibly can all the instructions are there just not seen them. Make sure you get on the right bus with your reservation quite a few people had her name on different buses didn't understand that little confusing but we did figure it out.

Be prepared for the mass volume of people you . I’ll think you’re in Disneyland the amount of people that go through the gate is 1400 people a day. You’ll be queueing up just to move from one section of the path to the next section with your group.Also you’ll cover probably close to 8- 9 km of walking, they don’t tell you that part..
Samantha_D, Oct 2025
This is a long hike and if you have mobility issues I do not recommend. There are lots of stairs when going through the mountain and if you are afraid of heights, all I can say is push through it! It’s only a small portion.
I loved the hike, the history, interesting, and I highly recommend it!
Alastair_A, Sep 2025
Great day out and wonderful guides. However, it is not for the faint hearted if you are afraid of heights.
Paulina_D, Sep 2025
The tour was great, the guide was wonderful, she told a lot of interesting facts about caminito del rey, its history, about the animals that live here. It was really fun even for solo travelers like my self. Really recommend this tour for everyone who visits nearby cities ant villages.

Trip was well organized, we had no issues or delays. Walk has few uphills, but otherwise quite flat. Awesome views. Should be manageable even for those with heights anxiety .
CharlesRichard_K, Jul 2025
This is definitely a “must do” activity when visiting Andalusia. The walk is active, but not too strenuous if you are moderately fit and the views and experience of being (safely) suspended above the canyon are spectacular. The one down side was that, while our coach of nearly 50 people was split into three groups based on language, it was uneven split such that one group had only four people plus a guide, while ours - the largest - had nearly 30. This meant that the tail end of our group was virtually unable to hear over the radio (due distance and interference) the commentary and instructions from the otherwise interesting and well-informed guide.
Susan_A, May 2025
Not very organised. Alot of waiting around while the guides mess about trying to get groups organised. Then a long wait at the end as no definate time to be at the end picnic area was given to people.
2 way radios given out so your guide can talk to the group didn't work.
WenYuan_L, May 2025
Great experience and good tour guide

Francisco_M, May 2025
Very well organized, amazing tour guide spoke in all 4 languages.. our Spanish guide did excellent in keeping us informed and educating us along the way.. made it a wonderful experience for 2 seniors

The local tour guide Leticia was talking and going too fast. Hard to catch up with her. Overall the trip was good.
Jonathan_V, Apr 2025
Caminito del Rey is a definitely must-do while in Málaga. I was very sceptical about it as I'm scared of heights. But I did it anyway and it was the best decision.
Jurate_G, Feb 2025
The views during the hike were unforgettable—stunning and breathtaking. It’s definitely a must-do if you’re nearby. Unfortunately, the day was windy and cloudy, but the views were still mesmerizing. The hike is easy, though I wouldn’t recommend it for those afraid of heights. The only downside was that the return to Málaga took a very long time, as it took a while to drop off all the tourists at their hotels.
Sofie_Y, Feb 2025
Unforgettable tour. The guide was amazing, she told us all the stories and histories for the bridge and the path. it was lovely.
Orlando_M, Dec 2024
Bring comfortable shoes and something to eat. Also drivers should communicate better in between the mountains… a little nerve wracking on the way back.
Mona_M, Dec 2024
Fantastic experience hiking this gorgeous trail. Our guide was attentive, knowledgeable, and patient.
Audrey_N, Dec 2024
Very well organised, lots of good information as we walked. Stunning scenery. Unfortunately our guide, while being very knowledgeable, was rather arrogant and rude at times and took an aggressive tone with people when they asked questions.
