Great experience! - Staying in Granada, we had a hefty drive to get to the Caminito del Rey but Jose was a fantastic driver. Clean car and pleasant conversation (but allowed us a siesta too). He also got us into an earlier tour since we arrived earlier than expected. Our guide on the walk was good, imparting information and with a touch of humor. He was sensitive to those who were afraid of heights. Hubby has a little fear but even he didn’t think this walk was scary.

Well worth it - We took the Caminito del Rey day trip from Granada with Discovering Spain, and overall, it was a great experience. Communication with the tour agency was smooth, and we had no trouble locating the meeting point using Google Maps. Our group was small—just four people (2+2)—so we traveled comfortably in a sedan. Our driver, Manuel, was friendly and spoke English well. During the 1 hour and 45-minute ride, he provided an informative overview of Granada and the surrounding areas.
Upon arriving at the Caminito del Rey parking lot, we had a 20-minute walk to the actual entrance of the trail. Manuel took care of our tickets, made sure we were in the right line, and then departed. From that point, the official park guides took over. Each participant was given a helmet and a wireless receiver with a headset, ensuring we could hear the guide clearly throughout the hike.
The walk itself was relatively easy, following wooden and rock pathways along the mountainside. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking—no photo or video can truly capture it. The only real challenge was the heat. It’s essential to bring plenty of water, dress lightly, and wear comfortable sneakers.
One unexpected aspect was that after the official guided portion of the trail (which lasted around 2 to 2.5 hours), we were left at a point that required an additional 30-minute walk to reach the exit. Just beyond that point, there's a vending machine with cold water—don’t skip it! An ambulance is stationed near the exit for those affected by the heat, underscoring the importance of staying hydrated and protected.
Despite the heat and fatigue, the stunning views made it all worthwhile. Manuel met us at the exit and gave us time to rest at a shaded café area before driving us back to Granada. The entire trip took about 7.5 hours, with approximately 3 hours spent commuting and the rest at the park.
I highly recommend visiting Caminito del Rey, and Discovering Spain made the journey smooth and convenient.

A bucket list top contender. - Excellent views and a marvellous of engineering. If a hot day ensure you have plenty of water and snacks. There are some steep steps up and down. So if you have any injuries or difficulties you may need to reconsider. This also goes for if you have a fear of heights. Overall an excellent day trip. We had and excellent driver which made the 2hr trip each way more enjoyable. He had an excellent knowledge of Spain and Granada.

Highly recommend! - We loved this experience!! Our driver, Jose, picked us up near our hotel in Granada and drove us 2 hours to El caminito del Rey. He was very knowledgeable and shared many great facts with us along the drive. He made sure we arrived safely to the entrance, and handed us off to Gregorio, (tour guide in El caminito, who was also fantastic!). The views were absolutely amazing. Jose was waiting for us at the end of the tour - he had vip parking (so we didn't have to do extra walking in the heat!). Cristina C, who works at the office, was so nice and so easy to work with. She made sure we were well prepared for our trip! Overall was a really great experience.

Highly recommend it - Especially our guide Gonzalo!! - We had a wonderful day trip from Granada to Caminito del Rey, made even more enjoyable and memorable thanks to our guide, Gonzalo. He was punctual, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and engaging throughout the entire experience. Gonzalo spoke excellent English and clearly explained what to expect during the trip, making us feel well-prepared and comfortable. He was incredibly patient and thoughtful, stopping along the way to show us beautiful viewpoints and recommending a great restaurant. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy the hike, take photos, and relax over a meal. Gonzalo also shared helpful recommendations for restaurants and places to visit in Granada. Overall, he made our trip truly special. Highly recommend it.

A terrific experience not to be missed - The tour consisted of a bus trip from Granada to Carminito del Rey where the real guided tour started. We were assigned guides and we had a great guide who took the time and paced the walk perfectly. She was enthusiastic and spent her time talking about how the dam project evolved and also talked about the flora and fauna. We were passed by numerous groups so our walk was easy and leisurely.
Although apprehensive about heights, once started it was not a problem
A wonderful experience not to be missed .

Great tour! - We had a great experience! Jose, our driver, was great- friendly, professional, and he drove safely. Once at Caminito del Rey, our guide, Javi, was friendly, professional, and educational….we walked a total of about 6-7km over the 2-2.5 hour tour. My husband and I are in our early 70’s, and we kept up with the pace of the tour. It was a group of about 16 people, and the tour was well organized. I was impressed with their safety protocols. The region was gorgeous! Highly recommend!
