Fantastic Day Out - Alvaro was just a ray of sunshine and so informative. His passion for Malaga and the Caminito was clear and he and driver Antonio made a good day great. The Caminito was magnificent and I would recommend to anyone. Not overly strenuous and very worthwhile

MUST DO! - This trip was really great! You simply must do this when you are in Málaga. The departure point is right in the center and very easy to find. I didn't think the 30 minute stop along the way was really necessary. Handy if you have to go to the toilet and don't have any food with you, but otherwise there is not really anything to see. Our guide, Javier, was super fun! A very spontaneous, pleasant man. Because the group consisted of 52 people, we were split into 2 on the spot. I was not in Javier's group, but the way he provided information and facts on the bus, I am convinced that the walking tour with him would have been great. Our group had a guide from El Caminito Del Rey herself, her name is Mar, and she was really great too! The walk itself is quite doable, even for people without fitness ;) It is highly recommended! Beautiful views and simply a must do. But overall very satisfied with the organization, MSA, I booked it with :)

Very nice trip - Really nice and nice trip but bring lots of water in the summer season and a bag to have it in, as the heat can be disgusting and you have to go far.

Great Day Out from Malaga - A really good day out from Málaga. Javier was a great guide and our local guide when we got to Caminito, Christopher, was fabulous also. Really enjoyed the stop off in the village on the way to Caminito which gave the day a more personal feel

Faboulus tour - all worth the money. - Great tour, super search guide both humorous and gifted. Got a really good insight into the Spanish history around El Caminito del Rey. The facilities were really good, we ate breakfast on the road in a small town and got the tank well up with water (1.5 liters per person - which was perfect for the warm trip). Afterwards there were small stalls with fresh fruit, beer and the opportunity to buy souvenirs with home. All the money worth ❤️.
