Alfonso was a wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable and was a really lovely, relaxing day, enjoying the company of some lovely new friends!
We had as excellent day in Frigilana and learned so much about the area and the surrounding habitat.
I would highly recommend Alfonso who looked after us all very well, took time to check that we were altogether and explained many details to us!
Do not hesitate to book with Malagaactivatours.com, you will most certainly enjoy your time with them.
Well organised and informative tour. Pick up, and drop off in central Malaga and drive direct to the start of the tour - no lengthy time picking up or dropping off at various locations.
Frigiliana interesting and beautiful with lots of additional information from our guide.
The walk may cause issue for anyone with restricted mobility, or fear of heights, however we found it easy enough (we are in our mid 60's).
Well run and supportive guide many thanks for a lovely trip out.
Super randonnée au cœur du territoire hippy ! Agréable même avec notre cardio très très moyen. Nous avons eu le plaisir de voir beaucoup de poissons lors du snorkeling. Plein de possibilités pour des photos de groupe très "instagrammable". La bonne humeur contagieuse de notre guide nous a permis de passer un excellent moment entre amis !

Thank you for this amazing day
Alfonso was very personable. The meeting spot was easy to find and very close to the old city. The drive was comfortable. Alfonso was animated and detailed in his explanation of the area and history. He provided water and a poncho for possible inclement weather as well as a small picnic lunch. His group is 8 maximum making it easy to hear and enjoy and participate. The walk is for the most part flat. He stated he is in communication daily with the canyon staff re safety concerns. Would definitely recommend.
Great experience, very unique and spectacular landscape. Alfonso is a great guide, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and qualified about his subject. He did everything to ensure that everyone on the tour got the most out of, taking great photos, having a picnic and sharing his knowledge not just about the Caminito but also about wines, crops, Spain ..... all very interesting. Great trip, go on it, you wont be disappointed.

Awe inspiring
An awe inspiring experience with a caring, interested and interesting person. I am not used to heights but I felt safe and secure with Alfonso guiding. I also wondered if at 65 years old and not really an outdoors person I would manage the trek , but it was easy going. Alfonso kept his eye on all of us as a whole while engaging with us as individuals as well and recounted many stories of the mountains in an informative and humorous manner. I highly recommend this tour.
Une très belle randonnée.Venue à Malaga spécialement pour parcourir ce chemin, je n’ai pas été déçu.Alonso nous a guidé, enseigné et fait découvrir ce joyaux.Merci à (Website hidden by Airbnb) nature reste sensationnel mais ce sont les personnes comme Alonso qui rendent ces moments inoubliables.N’hésitez pas . Et merci au groupe bien sympathique. Magalie

Not to be missed
This is an experience not to be missed, especially with Alfonso who was attentive, informative and a great guide to be with on this exciting adventure. His communications before and after the event were exceptional and his photos of his guests (which he forwarded immediately afterwards by email ) were of exceptional quality and a great souvenir of the trip. He actively engaged with all members of the group who were of diverse origins --- French, American, Australian, Korean and Cuban. He was keen to learn information from all of their backgrounds and has obviously travelled worldwide. Overall, a very enjoyable and memorable trip to a remarkable place. Great photo opportunities to take snaps that will astound your friends and family: they'll think you were so brave to attempt these pathways, although there was never any concerns about its safety. Many thanks, Alfonso, from Ken and Leta
We had a great experience with Alfonso. He shared stories about El Caminito del Rey from centuries ago until the present day. We had a picnic with the best chorizo in town. :). Alfonso is a very friendly person. We had the chance to connect with nature and meet awesome people. We strongly recommend this experience.

Nice activity
This was one of my last outings during my vacation in Malaga and I'm so glad I did it. I'm not really someone who would even consider this as a vacation activity, but this excursion was well worth it. The view was absolutely breath taking and Alfonso has so much knowledge about Caminito del Rey. You should definitely do this!

An once in a life time experience
This is an once in a life time experience! The scenery in Caminito Del Rey is absolutely breathtaking! The walkway is a combination of ease and excitement, you get to walk on suspended bridge and wooden walkpath on the side of the cliff for a good amount of time during the hike, then you get to enjoy the thrill and the beautiful scenery surrounding you - it’s like otherworldly. You won’t regret going! Most importantly - Alfonso is really nice and funny and a great guide! :) Thank you so much!
Alfonso on erinomainen opas, hän osaa asiansa ja esittää paljon luontoon liittyviä yksityislohtia mielenkiintoisesti. Suosittelen lämpimästi!

Incredible experience
Our group of 4 went on this tour with Alfonso to Caminito Del Rey, and we are SO glad we did. He is organized, thoughtful, and super friendly! He brought us delicious snacks and drinks for our hiking tour- which shows he goes above and beyond to take care of you on this experience. I would only recommend to do this hike with Alfonso because it was such a good experience with a perfectly sized group of guests. Thank you so much for an incredible experience and your kindness, we will never forget it!
Het is groots en indrukwekkend, vind je het leuk om er alleen doorheen te lopen voor de foto's zou ik niet met een tour gaan. Houdt je er juist van om er meer over te weten te komen, de tour doen. Dan zeker bij deze aanbieder, hij is erg vriedenlijk en geïnteresseerd. Ook weet hij veel over de rest van Malaga en geeft hiervoor tips.

Sooooo beautiful
This was the highlight of y Spain trip. I went to 10 different major cities and this was the most memorable of all. If you’re in Malaga, you just have to do this. It’s so beautiful. Alfonso was a great guide and had a lot of knowledge about the location and it’s history. I’m glad I booked this and you should too!!!! Just do it. If you like nature, walking, hiking, exploring and learning, don’t think twice.
If you want to get to beautiful corners that are hidden from mass tourism, then Alfonso is your guide! He is friendly and fun to be around, also has a thorough knowledge on local life and traditions! Organisation was also great! Absolutely recommended!

Absolutly beautiful
Absolutely beautiful,he made it easy and relaxing.Our weather was perfect. FYI. No walking sticks allowed. You won’t need hat they give you helmet. Nice to bring water( he has in van) long walk, no bathroom few sips still good. Tissues come in handy especially when bathrooms have none. He will carry stuff for you. If want a cheap string backpack can get I ale-hop in marina 1euro. The cafe where we met was reasonable with bathrooms.

Super recomendable
La excursión al Caminito del Rey ha sido maravillosa y única. Fue el mejor día en nuestro viaje a Málaga. Alfonso ha sido puntual y ha cuidado mucho los detalles en toda la organización. Ha sido un guía muy amable con cada uno de los integrantes del grupo. Nos ha compartido muchas historias sobre el Caminito del Rey y se ha preocupado por generar un ambiente único y cálido entre los asistentes. Super recomendable.
Alfonso is funny and interesting, he made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. The van is nice, we had a unforgettable time with the group. Thanks for the effort.

Amazing walk
An excellent tour. I really recommended this option to visit the Caminito Del Rey- Alfonso has great Knowledge, travelling in a small group is much more comfortable Than on a bus and more interesting than hearing the information from guides talking to larger groups. Alfonso even provided a little picnic.

Alfonso heeft ons een prachtige middag gegeven. We waren met 8 mede wandelaars allen 50 plussers. Tijdens de tocht was er ook tijd/mogelijkheid om elkaar te leren kennen. We waren de laatste groep die die dag startte, dus was het rustig op de caminio. Alfonso weet veel van het gebied en de natuur te vertellen. Een uitstekende middaginvulling. Nog dank voor de leuke foto'!

Highlight of our trip
Met us on time at and easy to get to location. Nice clean comfortable car to get the group of 8 to the natural reserve. Had great talks and explanations along the way - car ride , bus back to car and the hike itself. Lovely Spanish snack midway: water , perfect bananas and churaso, Spanish cheese and fresh bread. Breathtaking views. . Not a strenuous hike , nice easy inclines mostly flat. A highlight of our week in Malaga for sure.

im vergleich zu anderen touranbietern startet alfonso diese tour bewusst später, so dass man nicht mit den massen die alle früher starten diese einzigartige tour genießen kann. zudem sind seine gruppen auf max 8 personen begrenzt (andere anbieter haben 20-30 teilnehmer), somit also sehr angenehm und man hört definitiv immer alles, wenn er was erklärt. man kann ihn jederzeit was fragen. er ist sehr offen und hat eine sehr herzliche art und spirit. er weiss ganz genau wie man sich von anderen anhebt.
This was a great day. It would have been hard to get there via public transport and tickets are hard to come by. This was easy and beautiful! I am afraid of heights and had a great time.

Those rock-walls and the environment are just breathtaking. Alfonso is really friendly and funny guy, he took us to the place at a time when almost nobody was there so we could get a unique and more personal experience. It was a great experience, very recommended.

Geweldige dag gehad! Door weersomstandigheden was de trip naar de ochtend verplaatst wat ik een top keuze vond. Alfonso is een heel sociaal gezellig persoon, heeft veel persoonlijke interesse en is erg gastvrij. Gaf veel informatie over alles wat we onderweg tegenkwamen. De picnic was too! Alfonso, dankjewel, we hebben genoten van de leuke dag!

Great trip that you should definitely do while in Málaga! Alfonso is clearly very knowledgeable about everything pertaining to the outdoors from plants to fun facts about the hiking area! He has a nice picnic for a rest, even though the hike itself is not strenuous in the slightest. Was a nice walk the entire time. Book this!

Anyone staying in or near Malaga should seriously consider this trip! It was absolutely fantastic but not for the faint hearted. Anyone afraid of heights or perhaps that is claustrophobic most definitely wouldn't enjoy this as much. Alfonso was a great tour guide that made the hike light hearted and fun! He could relate to anyone in the group, young or old, and made it an all around amazing time!

Afonso brought us to a very special gorge via an authentic village on the mountaintops. The views were insane, especially on our way back as evening was slowly crawling over the mountains. The cherry on the top were the montain springs we swam in and drank from - the water was crystal clear! Especially on a hot day, that's such a boon. The snack was perfect, as well as Alfonso's engagement throught the trip. He did always make sure the group is secure and even dived for our bottlecap when it decided to escape us. We could have done it, but he raced me to get it first with unmatched hospitality. He even shared the pictures he took, as well as suggestions where to go to in Malaga for food, drinks and fun. Muchos gracias Alfonso! :)
The tour was a really great mixture! Hiking, a beautiful old village, locals, mountains, animals and a swim in the natural pools of the waterfall. My sister and I really loved the trip and we would defintely recommend it to anyone. Next time in Malaga we will come for sure again. Thank You Alfonso :)
