amazing experience - it was an amazing experience. the tour guide was excellent and very attentive about the group. Instead of speaking loudly to the whole group, she used a small microphone and gave us individual headsets, so it was much easier to hear and understand her.

Spectacular hike and walk! So many pictures to take. - It was awesome. Also we did the 2.1 km walk to the entrance where there is beautiful scenery and you can see parts of the trail. There is great hiking in a few sections when you are not on the elevated sections.

Breathtaking views and fantastic Guided Tour - The Caminito del Rey Guided Tour was absolutely incredible! The scenery was breathtaking — dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and a thrilling walkway suspended high above the gorge. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and made the history of the area come alive. The pace was comfortable, with plenty of time for photos. Highly recommend this tour — it’s an unforgettable experience🤩

Exciting - Exciting and safe. Definitely not to be done in the hot periods but take advantage of the months such as October or spring. With driving it lasts twice as long but if you're lucky as we were we found a special girl

Most incredible views - don’t miss this! - If you get a chance, don’t miss this! The most spectacular experience and views. Our guide, Alejandro, was absolutely incredible- funny and engaging! He told us so many interesting and fun facts. Something to note, once you arrive at the starting point (a bit of a walk but beautiful), you may have to ask around until you find where you need to line up and which group you’re with. I was looking for a marker or a sign but there weren’t any. Make sure you show your ticket to the people working there and they will direct you where to go. Hope you enjoy this memorable experience!

Breath taking hike! Inadequate directions to North Acceso - Great hike! Great heights! Very fun and crazy gorgeous. Our guide was amazing and overall it was a great, very scenic and breathtaking hike. Directions on Google maps are WRONG. Not enough directions on Viator AT ALL. Lots of people were at wrong place. Go towards North Acceso signs, go past El Mirador Restaurant and park at the first parking lot on left after restaurant. You will see a small check in building. Terrible to no good directions on Viator!!

Caminito del Rey - Really worth going ! - Really good overall. Was worth travelling all the way to see the breathe taking views and so close to the great heights with history of events.

Need to be fairly fit as walk to, and especially from the end of the trek, is longer than you think - Omar was a superb guide. The main thing letting the experience down a bit was poor signage about where to go once you arrive to find the assembly and starting points , and poor info on toilet facilities. Finally, the very long walk afterwards to the shuttle bus on a sloping stony terrain took at least 20+ minutes in what turned out to be an unexpectedly very hot sunny day in October (34 degrees) with no shade. We managed alright but others were in physical distress.

Dramatic but extremely overcrowded. - Over crowded. You’ll be walking with between 30 and 100 others. The guide did their best but it’s very very slow, due to so many people trying to get through the bottlenecks such as the wire bridge while taking endless selfies.
