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.

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.
