# Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City

**Guidekin's take:** The straightforward coach version of the Caminito del Rey from Malaga city: about 6h 30m with an air-conditioned bus, admission and a guide working in English and German for €59 per person. Less personal than the small-group runs, but the logistics are handled and the price is fair.

**Best overall:** Admission, helmet and a premium coach from Malaga city at the lowest price in this collection: €59 per person, with 4.86 from 828 reviews, the biggest base here. Trade-off: A full coach, not a small group. (last checked September 1, 2026)

In our comparison: #7 of 23 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

From Málaga City. Relax aboard a Premium Bus with air conditioning on our way to the Caminito del Rey day trip. Listen as your guide who speaks German, and English, tells you about the surroundings and history. At the beginning of the hike, you will receive a fresh bottle of water. Feel the thrill of walking above the Guadalhorce River from the north access point and make your way for approximately 3 hours in a guided tour, and have time to take photos of the landscape along the route and admire the beauty of the Gaitanes Gorge. At the end of the hike, you´ll get together with your guide again and the bus will pick you up, enjoy and relax on the way back to your starting point
