You’ll spend a full day from Seville walking the restored Caminito del Rey footbridge above Los Gaitanes Gorge. Guides such as Pedro, Patricia, and Javi add history and humor, while Sunday departures also visit Osuna. Bring sturdy shoes, water, ID, and patience for the long coach ride.

“We had a fantastic trip in Caminito Del Rey. The landscape is simply phenomenal, and the guide was informative and knew a lot about the region. It was a particularly windy day when we visited, and so we did lose a bit of what the guide was saying, as they give everyone radio receivers and earbuds to enable you to hear the guide at a distance. This would probably be fine on a still day however. We did feel that we were a bit rushed on the walk, we understood that there was a lot to see but it would have been nice to stop for a few moments at…”

3.Caminito del Rey Guided Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 32 reviews · 7 hours · from $206

Travel from Seville to the Gaitanes Gorge by car, then walk the dramatic Caminito del Rey with an English or Spanish-speaking guide. You will cover about 5 kilometers of cliffside paths, wooden stairs, and gorge viewpoints. The tour costs $206 and does not include lunch.

“caminito del Rey is not to be missed, but this tour company should give everyone a complete refund. Fifteen minutes late to start and then we were driven to a town and told we had an hour and 40 minutes to kill. We were then told we'd be getting back at around 8:30 instead of 5pm. We got back well after 9. The company knew we could not begin our tour on time and didn't let us know until we were in the 1st town. The whole day was wait wait wait. Just awful.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $119

Leave Seville for El Caminito del Rey, a former workers’ path above the Chorro and Gaitanejo Falls. Expect an English-speaking guide, a walk of roughly two to three hours, bridges up to 100 meters high, and a long day by coach. Catherine, Stefano, and Carlos have all earned warm praise for their guiding.

“Breathtaking experience. This is a long journey on the coach, in my opinion, well worth it. I would not like to do this experience when it is very hot. This is reviewed at the end of March 24C temperature. There are simple toilets at the start and end of this walk, which takes approximately 3 hours with a guide pointing out items of interest. Numbers are controlled over the highest bridge , you just have to wait your turn, There was also a guide near the bridge taking photos of you just in front of the bridge (free) using your device. the photos I saw were a great memento.
