I rated excellent because the bus trip the guide and the caminito including the group of curious people who i saw were so friendly. The guide was very passionate in his talk and made sure evryone was taken care of. I would definately recommend this to anyone who really enjoys nature and history.

Overall good experience. It would be better if we were told to bring a jacket as the temperature in the morning in October in the gorge is very chilly. I would also appreciate if the guide restraint himself not speaking to the driver on the way to the destination in the morning. The noise was annoying when I wanted to catch up with some sleep.

Beautiful day. A big thank you to our guide Francisco! Very professional and it shows how much he loves his job! He explained everything to us perfectly and we learned a lot about the history of the caminito. I suffer from vertigo and was quite worried, but the road is safe and the walk is not too difficult, ca. 2-2.30 hours of walking with a crazy view! Highly recommended! I recommend that you bring a bottle of water and some snacks, you can buy food, but only at the end of the tour.
