Caminto del Rey trip
It was a difficult day for our guide as we had torrential rainfall as we queued for the walk. He however left us standing in the deluge for 5 minutes before telling us to take cover. When the trek concluded and we walked to the rendezvous site for the coach, we had to wait for almost 40 minutes for the pick up as the bus was waiting at a different place. He blamed the bus diver but surely the guide was in charge of the trip and should have made sure that the driver knew what to do. The actual walk was fantastic but the organisation could have been a lot better.

10/10 - Amazing Experience!!!
From booking straight through to drop off, everything was excellent. The pick up was easy to find and the bus, being air-conditioned, was really comfortable and the journey to the Caminito was really smooth. The driver was really good around those country roads and bends. Our guide, Louis, was gentle with his bitesize snippets of the history of the Caminito. The trail itself is gentle and you can be any age or ability to do this - trust me, I have chronic sciatica and I managed it no probs. I do have a fear of heights and it was scary at times but everything is safely built and secure. It is an amazing achievement to have built this trail and the two suspension bridges are epic! I was proud of myself for having crossed the first one at 160m above the river. It must be seen to be beleived and to see the ancient geology was amazing!!! There is a nice little area at the end of the walk to have snacks e.g. hot dogs, burgers etc and you're able to buy souvenirs. Overall, this is a must do activity when you visit Malaga, especially on a Sunday as the city is very quiet. 10/10!!!

Love the site, the tour was lacking
Caminito del Rey is fabulous and should not be missed. Our issue was with the tour itself. We could not hear anything but garbled sounds the entire three hour walk. Most people in our group simply removed their headphones. The half hour stop right after leaving Malaga to make us buy things at a store was absolutely ridiculous. But the biggest issue was the absolute zero information we received because we couldn’t hear.

You’ve got to do it!
A full bus from Malaga and an hours bus journey to get there. A long walk from bus to start, a long, long walk along the cliffs and a long walk back to bus! Exilerating views and a cheeky happy guide made it a great day.

Prompt pick up, well...
Prompt pick up, well organised trip. Knowledgeable and friendly guide Louis- a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Why this scores 94
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malaga.
How much does Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City cost?
+
Prices start at $68 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 with Pickup from Malaga City take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 with Pickup from Malaga City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 835 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Malaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City?
+
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 with Pickup from Malaga City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City?
+
Around 292 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City 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 Go local for a day!, Rent a City Bike: Full Day 24 hours, Malaga Private Eco Tuk Tuk Expert Tour with Local Guide. 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.
What is included in Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City?
+
