SUPER-fantastic tour. Bus travel from and to Malaga was flawless. Tour guide Alex was entertaining, considerate and efficient. We lucked up and got Rachel as a guide for the walking part of the tour. She was excellent, taking time to encourage and answer questions, and was also very entertaining.
The natural beauty of this place is totally amazing. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see something unique. (There are other similar places in the world, however this one is probably the most accessible for normal people who are not expert mountaineers).
Overall, I'd say this tour is a MUST-DO when in the Malaga area. VERY enjoyable and HIGHLY recommended.

I did this tour with my three 20 something year old kids. My son said this was his favorite activity we did while visiting Malaga. The bus ride was pleasant and took an hour and we got to stop to use the facilities before arriving at Caminito del Rey. Our tour guide was very good, but the highlight is the awe inspiring beauty of the gorge. We couldn't take enough pictures of everything.
The walk was exhilarating and the scenery stunning. Our guides were entertaining and knowledgeable and we felt safe and secure throughout.
Wonderful experience overall and amazing views and story. It is a long day and not for those that can not walk a lot or in variable conditions.

Wonderful experience - such a beautiful place and well worth a visit. The guide Rachel was superb very knowledgable and managed the large group well. Very expensive though! Previous Viator trip cancelled a few days before that was cheaper for a smaller group 🤨
Bus left early from the outside the train station in Malaga so get there early. Everything was straightforward, bathroom stop was made 3/4 of the way there. We put on our hard hats and walked the trail. Our guide was nice taking pictures for everyone along the way. Good explanation of the history of Caminita del Rey. Highly recommend.
The tour worked well. Bus takes you right there, no hassle to rent a car. The natural features, combined with the historical aspects of why a walkway on the cliff is beyond word. Have to see it for yourself. If you're fearful of heights, not for you. However, the platform trail is very stable and wide. Again, views are stunning.
My 14-year-old daughter loved this hike and hates hiking. She was complaining about it for a week before the activity and once we were there, she was totally in love! (This never happens! I usually have to hear the complaints for an additional week.) The guides (bus and actual tour) were informative. They took great photos. And both were charismatic. They made sure everybody was accounted for each time they talked, gave time to explore and take photos, and might have opened my kid up for future hikes! Loved this tour. I would totally take additional tours with them if the opportunity were to exist.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that your daughter enjoyed the hike, especially considering how reluctant she was beforehand. Moments like these are so rewarding, and we’re glad the tour left such a positive impression on her.
Our guides work hard to ensure everyone feels included and has time to take in the surroundings, and we’re happy to know their efforts made the day even more special for your family. If you decide to join us for another tour in the future, we’ll be delighted to welcome you back.
Warm regards,

Daphne was a very good tourguide.
We had an amazing trip. Everything was well organised and we enjoyed it a lot.
The amazing gorge and crossing the spectacular bridge.
Rachel was a great guide, lots of information,
We hit the Caminito del Ray as a family of four with 2 kids under the age of 10. The scenes and vistas are as stunning as advertised. It was a warm day in the south of Spain but a nice breeze in the canyons made it tolerable. This is an absolutely beautiful hike some 300 ft in the air. The scenery is rugged. Don't miss this tour.
This tour company allowed a maximum of 30 people on this tour, which i was not excited about initially. However, once we got on the bus they broke us down into smaller groups of 10, each with its own guide. So it definitely did not feel overcrowded. In general we walked at our own pace and took too many photos and videos. Enjoyed this tour, well worth it.
What a fantastic trip hosted by Rachel. Really really enjoyed the trip which we organised ourselves whilst cruising with Princess cruises into Malaga for the day. Thoroughly recommend it.
Gorgeous walk. Pictures don’t do it justice. There are a few stairs but it’s not strenuous. Guides are very knowledgeable and fun. I was with Racheal. She was great
