We had an incredible trip to the Caminito del Rey! Our guide on the hike, Lucia, was so informative, patient, and well-organized. Not only did she take time to point out interesting features in the canyon (even spotted birds for us!) and tell us about all the history, she made a point to prepare us for every step of the hike and remind us to stay hydrated, plus took photos for us. In spite of the daunting heights, the views are totally worth it--it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our Julia travel guide on the bus (Cesar), was wonderful. He also made a point to prepare us for each step of the trip, down to recommending a lovely local breakfast stop in Ardales (beautiful white-washed village where we had the chance to eat and wander before the hike), and pointing out interesting sights on the ride home.
If you plan to do this stunning hike, I can't recommend Julia enough--we learned so much that enhanced the experience, and our guides took such good care of us (we noticed other tour groups being rushed through the hike and on/off their buses).
