Beautyful easy walk. Not for wheelchairs. - Could be crowded but its beautiful!! Easy walk, not steep except reaching the parking to the bus at the end!!!.
Not for wheelchairs. A couple of stairs might be little scary if you are afraid of hights and a bridge also. I thing a person with disabilities but strong feet can make it.

The Hike of a Lifetime and Very Do-able! - It is extremely safe and do-able! Don't be deterred and don't miss out on this stunning experience. The group moves at a very manageable pace for all, with stops along the way. Just be sure to have plenty of water and sun protection (it was 102 in July when we were there). We are all senior citizens, two with ongoing health challenges, and everyone did fine. They also have a medic on hand and can transport anyone out who may need assistance, at any time. Professionally run, wonderful, the hike of a lifetime. Go do it!

Recommend - We are a family of four and joined their guided tour. Due to transport issues we arrived about 30 minutes late, but the staff kindly moved us to a later tour so we could still join. I honestly thought we would miss it, so we were really grateful – they were very flexible and helpful!
The guided tour was absolutely worth it. Sandro was clear, engaging, funny and very polite. The walking pace was just right, and we learned so much more about the history and geography of the area. Highly recommended – 10/10!

If only do one trip, do King's little walkway - Had to re book, as small group tour was cancelled, going with 50+ people not usually my thing, but you are split into smaller groups by language, so turned out okay. Well worth the money, fantastic views and scenery. Don't believe scare stories about toilets, opportunity to go at start and end of walk, as long as you don't have belly full of beer, you'll be fine. Lots walking -so inc. shortish walk to and from pick up we covered over 7 miles, 18,500 steps. Our tour stopped at Ardales on way out, but you're just killing time really, you only get 1 hr there, and not a lot to see.

Very nice place but.... - The place deserves so much, exciting ride. However, for the price paid, if I went back I would do it independently and not with an organized tour. Downtime and guidance that didn't bother to integrate us at all. I booked a guide in Spanish but he only went hiking in French and English. I couldn't understand almost anything he was saying. Moreover, French was not even an option language.

How did they do this around 1930??? - A visit to Caminito del Rey is really quite an experience. I would have liked more time here myself instead of a stopover in the village before.
I would have given 5 stars if the group would have been smaller. 1 group contained 19 pers. the other group more than 30. Worth it anyway!

Great day with professional people. A little long. - Caminito del Rey was an experience we were recommended by others - and which we found so exciting. We traveled with Julia Travel from Malaga. Meeting place in Malaga was central and easy to find. The bus arrived in good time. The tour was full booked - and the weather was perfect (16 degrees, quiet wind and sun). On the way to the attraction, the bus made a stop in Ardales. We were not aware of this when we booked the trip - and it seemed to be in excess of an hour in a small shopping street where three buses had a break - and a cafe, with a poor toilet would handle it all. Pulled down our experience. The walk itself was exciting for one with moderate altitude. It is crowded along the route and can be something waiting ... You go in line to say it straight. When we were through the tour we ended up in an area with sales boards and toilets. Here we stood waiting for another group for almost an hour.
With that said; our English language guide was very knowledgeable (doing this tour twice a day) and professional. The buses were in good quality and Caminito del Rey is worth the trip, we think. A little long.

Mass tourism - Very poorly organized, pure mass handling, long wait by huge groups. As a German paid more than others on the tour, but the guides speak only very broken German.
