Caminito amazing - don't pay for guided tour
The Caminito Del Rey offered amazing views and jaw-dropping sights. However, I do not believe a guide was needed. It was very difficult to comprehend the guide and it was much less cost- effective. Our guide, named Samuel, was very nice and had some very interesting things to say, but we did not properly hear some of them. The bridge was the best part of all the views, though it was slightly frightening. 🫣 For a 40 euros per person you would think the return shuttle bus would be included. The company who organised the tour was rather chaotic and had not organised the meeting point clearly and additionally about 30 minutes late to start. In summary, I think the Caminito Del Rey is an amazing experience, but if I had to do it again, I wouldn't have gone for a guide again. Caminto 5 star Guide 2 star
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you very much for taking the time to write your thoughts regarding the experience. Please note that you selected the activity without transport. Kind regards.

Great day out
The hike is spectacular and not strenuous at all. Very safe environment and with the exception of the suspension bridge at the end there are no scary bits. The bridge was affected by hight winds when we were there so it had a bit of sway but nothing more. Went with two children aged 12 and 14 and they loved it too. It is a two hour leisurely walk from end to end.

Views are Fabulous don’t book a guided tour
The actual walk and views were stunning. Sadly we were left underwhelmed with your process. After firstly having a change from midday to 3pm which effected our planned day. The meeting point organisation and size of group, 30 certainly isn’t a small group, there were so many other groups on track slowed the whole event down, there was little information from the guide, at the end we were left to get to pick up or shuttle bus areas. We were not advised that the shuttle was not included. Many others were not impressed that a ticket was required. Had we known what we were going to get for our guided tour we would have just walked independently and not have had to waste our day. You have a very special place here to showcase and sadly we were left not wanting to recommend this to anyone to do a guided tour. Big tick for views
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you very much for taking the time to write a review about your experience. We're really sorry to hear the activity didn't met your expectations, nevertheless we would like to point out that the group size is listed on the product's description and in our website. In the name of everyone in the organization I would like to express our deepest apologies for the inconveniences. Kind regards.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Caminito del Rey Trekking Walkway: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malaga.
How much does Caminito del Rey Trekking Walkway cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Malaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Caminito del Rey Trekking Walkway take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Malaga is not rushed.
Is Caminito del Rey Trekking Walkway worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 107 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Malaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Caminito del Rey Trekking Walkway?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Caminito del Rey Trekking Walkway suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Caminito del Rey Trekking Walkway?
+
Around 37 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Malaga can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Malaga and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Caminito del Rey Trekking Walkway start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Malaga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Malaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Malaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Malaga City Tour 2 Hours Monumental Segway Tour, Taste of Malaga Tour : Tapas, History and Local Customs, Go local for a day!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Malaga?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Malaga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
