We loved this tour once we got to it. I wouldn’t recommend it for cruisers because there is no port pick-up and drop off, but for everyone else, it is amazing!!!

Our guide, Alex obviously loves showing guests the Caminito. He is a very enthusiastic and energetic person. He shared a number of fun facts (Flora and fauna) about the gorge that added tremendously to the adventure. He set a reasonable walking pace so that we had time to look around and to take photographs. We appreciated Alex’s passion for his work. The Caminito was a highlight of our 2 week tour of Spain!
