Great day, great experience. Make sure you have 10 euros cash on you to rent shoes, you'll need them!”

“Seb took his time to check my kids understood him when explaining something. He also encouraged them to be brave and jump off the high rocks, wuthout being pushy. It ended up being just us, so he called a day before to check if we could meet up earlier so we were in the river before the crowd. Kids had a blast and so did I!”

And it was wonderful because the view was simply amazing, climbing on the rock face was exciting, an experience not to be missed. The tour guide was very professional, kind, funny, and helpful in everything. The best tour guide. I can only recommend it to everyone. It was an unforgettable experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · 7 hours · from $112

Climb Malaga's highest Via Ferrata near El Chorro with bridges, a 35-meter zipline, mountain views, a picnic, and Granada transfers.

“Een veel leukere en meer uitdagende manier om de bergen en omgeving te zien! Absoluut goed te doen als beginner. Enige sportiviteit is wel aan te raden en Engelse taal machtig om goed te begrijpen wat je moet doen. De tijd en afstanden vlogen voorbij en onderweg alleen maar genoten. Kon niet beter met een zeer bekwame en geduldige gids, Harry. Wat een held! Met hem durf en kan je de wereld aan! Die onderweg echt mooie en goede kwaliteitfoto's maakt en deelt met deelnemers. Een geweldig mooie herinnering! Met een verrassend lekkere en verdiende afsluitende picknick. Deze ervaring is zijn prijs meer dan waard en wil je niet gemist…”
