8.From Málaga: Caminito del Rey Guided Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 920 reviews · 6.5 - 7 hours · from $70

Walk the restored Caminito del Rey high above the Guadalhorce River on a 6.5 to 7-hour trip from Málaga. Air-conditioned transport, entry, helmet, water, and an English or German guide are included. You can stay with guides such as Esmeralda or Luis, or walk at your own pace after the safety briefing.

“The overall experience was very enjoyable. Th breakfast/coffee break in Ardales was not on the programm (which is why we choose this trip) and in our view not necessary (toilets are available at start of the Caminito). Walk itself was very relaxed. You could either walk on your own or with the guide to hear some extra facts. The drinks break at the end was a bit too long as it was quite chilly to sit in the shade. The trip is not cheap but worth it.”

Rafael on the big bus was multilingual and well organized. Derek who drove AND gave commentary on the smaller bus was personable and his talk was very interesting. He's a local. A charming man. It was a wonderful tour and I'm so glad I took it!”
