A walk along the famous path of El Caminito del Rey. The route runs between the Guadalhorce-Guadalteba reservoir and the town of El Chorro. We will leave Seville to arrive two hours after our departure point at the Guadalhorce reservoir, located in the province of Malaga. From there we will start our walk parallel to the railway tracks where we will go through the gorges of the Gaitanes and the Gaitanejo. Its origin dates back to 1921 when King Alfonso XIII, after the inauguration of the Conde de Guadalhorce dam, crossed the previously built path. From this moment on it began to be called Caminito del Rey. After several years of disuse and deterioration due to lack of maintenance and control it became the most dangerous path in Europe causing numerous victims. We will leave in group with our guide to reach the entrance located near the town of Ardales in Malaga. Afterwards, we will take the opportunity to have lunch in a local restaurant before returning to Seville in the afternoon.

    Outstanding experience

    Our private tour went very smoothly from Seville hotel pickup to drop off. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided much information about the area during our drive to the Caminito del Rey. The hike was spectacular providing beautiful vistas throughout. Our hike guide was also excellent. Our initial guide met us at the end of the hike and took us to an excellent restaurant with beautiful terrace views and excellent food for lunch. The ride back to our hotel was relaxing. Would highly recommend this private tour to the spectacular Caminito del Rey!

    The caminito of the rey

    We stayed on September 20, 2025. Tour organized from Malaga. Honestly you could also do it independently by taking a bus from the station Maria Zambrano Malaga .. however beautiful experience. The thrill of walking on the catwalks with hundreds of meters below. Beautiful views. Try it for those going to Malaga. Remember comfortable shoes. People wearing Sanit slippers or flip-flops are not accepted. We spent 50,00€ each round trip coach, guide and entrance ticket to the park. If you go independently the price is 10,00 the bus, 18,00€ the entrance to the walk. Half day time. Not recommended when it is so hot. Nice experience.

    Beautiful landscapes

    It was really a unique experience, I loved the sympathy of Mr. Gregory, you could explain everything very well and in detail. I loved the landscapes I saw, it's really interesting to visit.

    Beautiful

    Beautiful landscape, accessible to everyone. We couldn’t find tickets without a guide and we had to wait quite a lot to start the walk. I would say it very touristic, dissapointing if you think it’s a hike…it’s not, it’s rather like a walk in the park but it’s worth a visit definitely!

    El Caminito del Rey Path: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seville.

    How much does El Caminito del Rey Path cost?

    +

    Prices start at $366 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does El Caminito del Rey Path take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Seville is not rushed.

    Is El Caminito del Rey Path worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule El Caminito del Rey Path?

    +

    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 El Caminito del Rey Path suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book El Caminito del Rey Path?

    +

    Around 2 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 Seville 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 Seville and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does El Caminito del Rey Path 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 Seville 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 Seville?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Seville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Seville Bike Tour: Top Sights & Hidden Gems, 3 Cities in One Day: Cordoba, White Village & Ronda from Sevilla, The Seville Tapas Crawl Tour by Food Lover Tour. 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 Seville?

    +

    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 Seville?

    +

    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.
