Excellent outdoor event with terrific guide - Our bus driver, was amazing (scary at times but he knew exactly what to do!). Our bus guide. Laura, was very good and we all left & returned on time. Rachel taught us so much on our hike. The views and wildlife were terrific. It wasn’t scary at all..even for these 4 in their 70’s! Thank you for a pleasant day. Another highlight was we were away from a city, cathedrals & palaces!!!

Disappointing - Walk was absolutely beautiful- however the bus that we were transported on was not fit for purpose- no air con & the Mike system didn’t work so it was impossible to hear the guide - on the way back the bus broke down & the tour guide was extremely rude & not very helpful - he suggested that we all get a taxi back into Malaga which was a twenty min ride - he eventually contacted head office & a new bus arrived to bring us back - the tour guide went & sat on his own while we were waiting on the new bus & shouted at us that we were being very demanding when we asked him details about the estimated time of arrival of the new bus - obviously it wasn’t his fault that the bus broke down but his attitude ruined what had been a lovely day prior to that

Magnificent experience from the breathtaking views to the informative and friendly customer service. - Had the most incredible day! Javier was an incredible guide: welcoming, friendly, informative and helpful! I particularly loved his passion and enthusiasm for the geology and wildlife of the area.
The walk was outstanding with breathtaking views. The visit to the town was also a really lovely addition and was so nice to see Spanish culture outside of a city.
Our return coach unfortunately broke down midway back to Malaga, but the situation was handled brilliantly by Javier who organised a replacement coach promptly along with humour and reassurance - very professional. Overall, it was a truly magical day and I would highly recommend.

Overall a good day out - Very well organised tour. Guide was friendly. The Caminito is beautiful. There is a walk of about 1.5 km to the start of the Caminito and 1.5km walk at the end to the bus so the Caminito itself was about 5km apparently although it seemed shorter to me. The bus load of 50 odd people was split into 2 groups of 25 which was still a bit large because on the walk the guide stopped to give information but not all of us could hear. He did not wait till we were all together nor was it always possible for 25 people to get together on the route . There was a stop at a nearby town for 30 - 40 mins which was nice but not published in the itinary. Thsi was apparently to fit in with the scheduled group departure on the Caminito which has to be spread out because so many people are visiting it. Overall a good trip

Awesome a must do! - Breathtaking! A must do! Now a word for the wise. If you were a senior late and age, do not attempt this tour unless you are confident, you’re in great physical condition. The tour itself was spectacular, but we had a gentleman well in his 80s who held the group back by one and a half hours times 50 people a big disappointment. For any tour operator this should be screened prior to starting the tour as it is not only one person suffering.

Worth it! - Such an amazing day. Gael was a great tour guide. The only thing I would change is starting the day a bit earlier.

Beutiful nature, tour equipment needs improvement. - The scenic views are amazing.
Pick up location and timing was all good.
During the bus ride, the microphone was not working properly, it was difficult to understand and listen to instructions. Once we arrived at the location to start the tour we were given headsets that were not working properly, it was difficult to understand the guide. The guide was walking very fast through the best spots, and not a lot of explanation and difficult to understand their english. I recommend the tour because its a beautiful area, nature is beitiful, but microphone and headset equipment need to be improved, and guides need to slow down a little bit and try to improve their english and equipment.

Concerned - Bus broke down, a very long day. Driver, guide, and company did their best but I’m worried about the next Viator tour I booked.

Missed opportunity - We were unable to go due to a scheduling error on my part. I tried to contact your company to see if there was anyway to reschedule the tour but never heard back from your company.
