    The tour started 25 minutes late. We were supposed to be there 3/4 of an hour earlier, which meant that we basically just stood around for 1.25 hours. As we found out later, this happens more often on this tour. The specific meeting point was not at all clear. The square in front of El Kioske is large and there were a lot of people there. Other tour operators had their own stand. This one did not. The contact person also had nothing on his clothes to indicate that he was responsible for organizing the tour. The group was far too big. As a result, it moved very slowly. The guide was not always audible due to the size of the group. He also spoke miserable English. Even that was not always easy to understand. We will not be booking with headout again.

    Nice hike to do and easy trip back with shuttle bus. Claudia was ern fine guide who clearly told us how the gorge was formed and why the trail is there. Make sure that when entering the route in Google maps you choose a parking lot. We blindly followed the route given to us and ended up on top of a mountain.

    The scenery is fantastic and our English speaking tour guide was very informative and entertaining.i would highly recommend taking a guided tour as it enhances the experience .
  • One of the most charming natural wonders of Andalusia, El Caminito del Rey is a walkway that is pinned along the steep walls of a gorge near the town of El Chorro. The incredible landscape and stunning views are something that can rarely be experienced firsthand and make it one of the most visited destinations for thrill-seekers across the world. Suspended nearly 100 meters above the river, the walkway is extremely narrow in certain sections, sometimes just a meter wide!

    The surge of adrenaline combined with the breathtaking scenic beauty surrounding you promises to be an unparalleled experience. A professional guide will be by your side throughout the walk, giving you incredible insight on the attraction, while also encouraging and guiding you along the exciting walkway.
