Review of the Madrid to Toledo bus tour, with guided walks, cathedral options, free time, sword workshop, timing, value, and practical tips.

“A good experience, but a bit annoying that we had to wait for four people, two of whom didn’t turn up. My suggestion would be to move the meeting point to the square, rather than the bus park. Guide was informative and had a good manner. rameiro was also very comfortable in English and had some good tips after the tour.”

Review of the Caminito del Rey day trip from Málaga, covering transport, guides, safety, scenery, costs, itinerary, and practical tips.

“Excellent day trip to Caminito del Ray from Malaga. The pick up point instructions were clear and the bus / guide were there on time. The weather was unfortunately very rainy but I felt fortunate it still went ahead. The walking trail itself felt very safe despite the wet surfaces and other than the rainy views, we had the same experience as if it were dry. It’s an easy walk, as long as you are relatively fit and able. Our overall group was around 40+ people but for the walk itself we were split into smaller groups (8-10) covering the same language.

If you have a lot of time in the area, suggest splitting the day trips to nearby towns which we opted for. The bus was comfortable, was not full could be due to being the off peak season.”
