Very good and well organised tour. Friendly guides who know how to engage the group and how to deliver information about caminito del rey. (Without being boring or monotonous). Other groups we have seen have had headphones listening the guide while hiking. We haven't had headphones. Our guide stopped and pointed out details or information on certain places, so that everyone could enjoy it in their own speed (and without noises). One little negative topic: "long" bus ride one additional stop to collect others and a 20 min toilet stop that took too long as 20 mins later (at the entrance to caminito del rey) there was another 10 min toilet stop.

Ran like clockwork. Guides very good on bus and on walk. I enjoyed the coffee stop and opportunity to use bathroom. Advise given beforehand very helpful.

Tour was very well organised and the tour guide Susan was excellent and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting the area

Great tour, excellent tour guides. Would recommend to anyone that likes the outdoors. A fun and different experience.

Great activity, awesome guide concept. All the info in the comfort of the bus and then freedom during the activity.
