Rated 4.57, a shade below the other Caminito runs we list, mostly on organisational quibbles rather than the experience itself. In our comparison: #22 of 23 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview We will start the tour with pick-up with transport at an agreed starting point. We will visit Caminito del Rey accompanied by a local guide.
