Reviews Caminito del Rey
“Ein sicherer Wanderweg für die angegebene Altersgruppe. Es werden leider zu viele Touristen hindurchgeschleußt und es bleibt keine Zeit um die großartigen Eindrücke zu genießen. Schade!”
“Ottima organzzazione! Percorso molto interessante ed emozionante! Guida simpatica e gentile. Consiglio sicuramente :)”
“Increíble experiencia, los guías Miguel Ángel y Antonio fueron excelentes, muy buena onda, con gran conocimiento del lugar y todos sus aspectos: flora, fauna e incluso datos curiosos sobre las pasarelas. Para repetir :)”
