My husband and I booked this trip on a whim, we had just travelled to Mijas Pueblo from Donegal the day before and wanted a wee day trip. We literally had no idea what was in store. The bus driver and guide Antiono were so welcoming and greeting us with open arms. On arrival to Caminito Del Ray we were given all the information necessary for the adventure of a life time that lay ahead. You can read all the advise and reviews about the caminito del ray BUT until you travel this most special path you will never truly know it. You can google image, google earth BUT until you walk these timber boards in the sky you will NEVER KNOW . Please if you are visiting the Costa Del Sol go and visit Caminito Del Ray. You will not be disappointed, you will talk and revisit the walk for a long long time in you head. You will be amazed at what you did !!!!!!

Ramon and the team did a great job. It was an incredible experience and at the same time funny and educational. I extremely suggest that everyone can join their adventures, secure and enjoyable.

The guides Mercedes and Pablo were very nice and told various interesting facts along the way. The views were beautiful and the experience unforgettable. I recommend ❤️

Our guide Alex was really knowledgeable. a great trip walking through the gorge. Recommend doing this trip in the afternoon as more of the walk is in the shade.

The experience was amazing, a very beautiful place and our guide Ramon was the best! We are very happy that we choose to take this trip with you!
