5 verified traveler reviews for Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Tough to get to, but worth it.
The experience of walking on the sides of mountains is exhilarating. From Granada it’s about a 2-hour drive west. But the trail hike was worth it. We booked direct a guided tour and purchased the prepaid parking at the visitors center. Then a round-trip ticket on a bus, an additional 2,5 Euros each, takes you to walking distance to the entrance and back afterwards. The trail hike is about 2-hours and the whole day trip took about 8 hours with the car drive and extra walking to and from the entrance and exit. So lots of walking.

Caminito del Rey
Everything perfectly organized. Schedule meticulously adhered to. Very competent nice tour guides.But everything already very touristy and overcrowded who is not deterred from walking in groups of about 25 people through dad valley, will still find surely joy in the really impressive landscape.

Great day out in Camineta del Rey.
Great day out using Visitanddo company. Alan was our tour guide and he was great. Bus picked us up in Malaga with very clear directions where to get it. We stopped in mountain village to grab breakfast and continued on to the gorge. It was a top class trip and the walk in total was around 8km.
Response from the operator: Thnak you for your review

Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malaga.
How much does Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach cost?
+
Prices start at $97 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 Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". 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 most popular in Malaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach?
+
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 Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach?
+
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 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Malaga: Caminito del Rey Day Trip by Coach 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.
