Book now
from €70 per person
Once called “the world’s most dangerous path”, the Caminito del Rey is now a safe, spectacular 7.7 km route through the Gaitanes Gorge, with boardwalks pinned to vertical cliffs high above the river. I pick you up at your hotel — from Málaga it’s about 1h10 to the Caminito — and we can stop for breakfast in a white village right before arriving. You decide.

“If you want a highly personable and thoughtful guide who cares deeply about your tour experience, then book Nico now. This experience is well worth it, and it’s certainly a highlight of our Malaga trip.
We are a family of 6 - parents, grandparents, children. Nico made a point of connecting with all of us personally throughout the journey. It seemed he knew our names instantly. He was particularly good at engaging our children, ages 10 and 12, with questions and stories about El Caminito, but also curiosity towards their own independent interests.
Nico ensured we had a more intimate experience with just our private group, amongst the busy larger groups which were also touring El Caminito. He did this by pacing us accordingly to maintain distance from the crowds.
His stories and facts were incredibly varied and interesting, not limited to one subject such as history or geology. He also shared some fun myths and botany facts.
Nico gave us tips on where to capture the best photos, and he also captured some of his own which he shared with us after the trip. He has a great eye for photography.
Nico handled all aspects of our journey seamlessly, taking extreme care to ensure we were well looked after. It is people like Nico who make your travel experience so much more than you imagined. I would not hesitate to book him again for another excursion.”

“Nico is the best! The entire experience from start to finish was wonderful. Nico is patient, kind and funny. He was really kind to my boys, having long involved conversations on every topic.
Caminito del Rey is a stunning experience, with Nico we were able to avoid the large groups and queues and have a really personal experience.
The icing on the cake was Nico going ahead on the shuttle to collect his vehicle and coming back to collect us at the end point, giving us time to relax and have some lunch.
It was the highlight of our time in Malaga! Thank you Nico.”
