Guidekin's take

The Caminito del Rey in a group capped at eight, and the only version we list that packs a picnic of local products for the trail.

Tickets, transport and water are covered at €89 per person; worth the premium over the coach runs if you want the walkway without a crowd around you.

Best for: Capped at 8 with a picnic of local products for the trail, the only Caminito run here that feeds you: 4.89 from 213 reviews. Caminito del Rey comparison

Trade-off: €30 above the coach runs.
