Private tour Worth the Cost!

Renae_D, Jun 2024
We booked a private tour that was well worth the extra cost. Safe, well maintained trails to hike. Our guide, Juan, was friendly and made the trip extremely interesting. His rock climbing experience and knowledge of the geology of the area enhanced the trip. He also included local stories that we appreciated. Take water and a snack. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful scenery

We had a wonderful time at Caminito del Rey. The views and explanations of the formations were excellent. We even saw a few wild pigs down by the water. This is a physical activity with lots of walking. My children were all tired afterwards.

Beautiful Place

Water Mgt in Caminto del Rey

Laura_D, Jun 2023
Juan (via viator) was full of information and kept us moving throughout the tour. Wind blowing over the suspension bridge provided an extra element of excitement near the end.

Yay for Tina!

Not only did we get to experience the beauty of the Spanish mountains and hike an exciting trail, but you took extremely good care of our family members who were having a little trouble with the walk. We will never forget the experience!

Loved this trekking tour which has some incredible views and some nerve testing moments. Beautiful sunny day with Isabelle as she explained the amazing history of this gorge and what was accomplished here. Private tour for our four family members which made it even more special. Not sure why we were asked to meet at Barcello Hotel in Malaga. Thus required a fourth minute train ride from Fuengirola. Even our guide asked why this was happening. Should have been picked up near our rental house and saved everyone some time. Otherwise, wonderful time had by all.

i took this private tour with Malaga Tours and my guide was Maria. I highly recommend this tour. first, Caminito del Rey is a work of wonder by nature, everyone should see it, the tour is a perfect mix of nature, adventure, history and culture. second, the tour is great with private car, hotel pick up and drop off, a private tour so i got all the attention, good pace, no rush in anyway, i could stop as often and take as many photos as desired. last but not least, Maria is an awesome guide, highly recommend Maria to everyone she is on time, professional, pleasant and knowledgeable, the whole trip was filled with pleasant conversation just about every topic. i really enjoyed the whole experience, highly recommend it.
