The sights and overall tour was very exciting and unique. Our guide in caminito del rey, Carlos, was fantastic and made the whole experience for us. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, answering all sorts of questions. Of course you can visit caminito del rey on your own, but the connivence of the round trip transportation and fantastic guide made this well worth the money.

Wow what a fantastic day at the Camino Del Ray! Absolute perfection with exact pickup times, expert guide through the gorge and knowledgeable guide on the coach on our journey to the gorge. Will definitely use this company again, thanks for a wonderful day.

Fantastic walk. I was disappointed that a portion of the walk was closed due to high winds. We plan to do the walk again some day.

Well worth it! Transportation and organisation all well done. Guide was very friendly, but a bit difficult to understand.

Very beautiful and easy trail. the guide Jose Miguel was excellent at telling us the story of caminito
