The hike through the gorge is magnificient. And we were happy to pay the tour fee and have a bus take us and bring us back. We didn't want the hassle of getting tickets, parking, etc. At the destination, were only 2 bathrooms with no paper. Long wait. Not sure why a guide came. when we got to the entry a different tour guide was assigned who was great. Guide who came with us just told us a bit of info but only guided us to the entrance. He kept up the rear. Maybe to keep us all together. Buying tour was easy and no hassle. Highly recommend.

The hike (walk) was a magnificent time away from the cities. Beautiful views of a path through the mountains. Our chaperone, Miguel, was very friendly, entertaining, and helped to create a fun environment during the time between the hike. The tour guide of the El Camanito del Rey was knowledgeable, educational, and entertaining. A scheduled bathroom stop along the 3 hour bus ride would be nice to have added to the tour to prevent sprinting to the bathroom when you get off the bus. Highly recommend the trip for a nice change of pace for anyone's tour around Spain!

The trip was good. I was glad that I booked it because you have to go in a group with an official tour guide through Caminito del Rey. Already being part of a group with a reservation let us skip the line. Also the transportation was extremely convenient. The Caminito is cool but we didn't get to complete it because of the wind. It was much shorter than I expected and sort of dusty. The official tour guide was very good and knowledgeable- they give you radios and earbuds so you can hear him. Our guide was good and made sure we didn't get lost, which I appreciated. 4 stars just because of personal preference- I don't prefer big groups or waiting but its unavoidable at Caminito del Rey and not in the tour's control.
