Our tour of the white villages was excellent! Of all our semiprivate tours in Portugal and Spain it was by far the best. I can’t remember our guides name, but the date of the tour was Oct 31st. He had great knowledge of the landscape and culture and was very accommodating. If the company could give me the name from this review that would be wonderful because he was an excellent guide and would love to book with him again. He took us places off the beaten that we would have otherwise not come across.

First of all, the views once we were inside were amazing. I booked this guide through trip advisor months in advance for our trip and it was one of the main highlights. 12 hours the night before our hike, our guide texted me saying he needed to cancel the hike. After asking if there was anything else he could do to be able to go he got back with me saying it was back on. We were also very late to our scheduled time to enter because our guide was unaware of the different route required do to recent rain. It was very stressful once we were there because they would not let us in for our guided tour because we were late. After a lot of arguing between our guide and the workers they let us in the hike on our own without a guide. This experience ended up being exactly what we wanted anyway, without the tour guide! Over all hiking the Caminito Del Ray was everything we expected and more. I think this tour was worth it just because it was a convenient way to get from Seville and back. I would say it was definitely disorganized as the pick up location changed multiple times and the hike almost being cancelled in less than 24 hours before, but at the end everything worked out. I would recommend this if you need a ride from Seville, but I would also recommend looking into taking a train and buying tickets from their website as the hike itself is about a tenth of the price of this guide.

With a few days in Seville, we decided to take a day to enjoy more of southern Spain. We visited a few world famous locations and learned much about them. We chose this trip specifically because of the time allocations in each location. We had free time at each location and our guide gave us some options for things to do. It was perfect to hit the highlights and a little more. Our guide was very friendly and the trip was comfortable even over roads that were intimidating at times. We recommend that you take this tour to get out of Seville and see sights you will never forget.
