I liked it, although they could have included the return bus ticket in the experience. After all, we always have to return to the starting point.

Main issue is that the group left 1 hour late. Also the tour was very slow and crowded with multiple other groups which made it hard to enjoy the scenery and views. It is a great place, but I didn't overly enjoy having a lot of our time wated by the tour guide showing up an hour late and us starting the tour on 1.5 hours later than scheduled and also battling the crowds. If I were to do this again I would go without the guides as what should be a a 1 hour walk took us nearly 3 hours due to the large crowd and frequent breaks because we were trailing other groups.

The tour was beautiful and we learned a lot from the guide. The directions could have included some information about parking options, and exactly how to get to the trail head.

Your experience

Bucket list must for thrill seekers

Cross off a must-do hike from your bucket list with these tickets granting access to the Caminito del Rey, renowned as one of the globe's most exhilarating and picturesque trails. Rest assured, it underwent extensive renovations in 2015, adhering to all safety regulations. The pathway winds along narrow cliff edges, suspended high above the rushing waters of the Guadalhorce River below. Along the way, you'll witness the rugged beauty of the Andalusian countryside, dotted with olive groves and almond orchards, framed by the distant peaks of the Sierra de Huma and the Sierra de las Nieves.

Conquer the cliffs and the tricky trails

Beyond the hike itself, learn the rich history of the area, from the remnants of the original pathway built in the early 20th century to the nearby ruins of ancient settlements. Rock climbing enthusiasts will find ample opportunities to test their skills on the rugged cliffs that frame the gorge, while birdwatchers can observe the diverse avian species that call this region home. Walk down steep hills with narrow curves on a cement boardwalk and the 'Butter Stairs,' named for their waveform, preserved during restoration. A major highlight is the Glass Balcony on the rocky buttress. The boardwalk, with its glass floor, tests visitors' vertigo, making you feel like you're standing over the abyss!
