Spectacular ,Camino del Rey ..
We picked up on time outside our hotel Riu Monica & the guide onboard was excellent,vey informative,,knowledgeable & friendly. The walk through the canyon was just beautiful ,exceptional. I do think most people could do it ,not to much up downs ,& could be done in a good pair of trainers. That did supply a small bottle of water each which was fine for us . Our guide through the canyon was also very good . There was time to stop at the end to buy drinks & fast food ,souvenirs ect but that area was plagued buy swarms of very persistent and annoying wasp ,.unfortunate but certainly didn’t Detract from a exceptional day we will never forget.

Give it a go!
From the moment of pick up, we felt well looked after, the coach was v comfortable and air conditioned. Once we were underway Luis was giving us snippets of information about things on the journey, and as we got closer he explained what would happen when we got to the Caminito, he was professional and funny and put everyone at ease, the caminito is amazing and very safe, give it a go!

Walk the Caminito!!
Had a good experience with Viajes Pareja Tours. Good communication prior to tour. Appreciated the pick up near my hotel very convenient although it makes for a longer morning to pick everyone. It’s a long day so snacks and plenty of water needed (was provided with bottle but you def need more). Comfortable shoes a must.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malaga.
How much does Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 185 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 with Pickup from Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar?
+
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 Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-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 Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar?
+
Around 65 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar 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!, Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City, Rent a City Bike: Full Day 24 hours. 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.
