Málaga: Caminito del Rey Guided Tour with Transportation - Meeting in Málaga near María Zambrano Station

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 12,183 reviews · from $69Our pick

Review of Málaga's Caminito del Rey guided tour, with direct transport, bilingual guides, cliffside walk, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“It is very difficult to get this area by public transportation from Malaga so definitely this trip is the best option to save time with the most convenience. Before the trip, I was concerned about my pace. I was told that some guides walk too fast without a break, so it might be tough to cath up with your guide. Actually it wasn't. There were 4-5 pauses to explain the area or to take a break. The trip is about 8km walk, but most of the road is even or covered deck. You can fully enjoy the beautiful nature. Our guide Carlos and Fernando were very nice, passionate and attentive.…”

Review of Malaga to Granada day trip with Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, Generalife Gardens, guided sightseeing, transport, and free time.

“Even though I have visted Granada and Alhambra 10 years ago, this was revealing and fascinating experience. My sister, first time visiting, shares same feelings about Alhambra. This is to a great extent due to Jesus, our Alhambra guide, who was absolutely fascinating and inspred as this was his first visit himself. He shared information and took good care of us in many ways, for which we are most grateful (particularly so because Alhambra was crowded with visitors). We are also very grateful to Kevin, our guide to/from Granada who contributed to good atmosphere within the group. All members of which were punctual. Many thanks! To Carmen, our driver, too.”
