It was incredible, but tickets should have included the bus back to the original point where you leave the car (I found out at the time that I would have to pay for this extra transportation).

The tour started 25 minutes late. We were supposed to be there 3/4 of an hour earlier, which meant that we basically just stood around for 1.25 hours. As we found out later, this happens more often on this tour. The specific meeting point was not at all clear. The square in front of El Kioske is large and there were a lot of people there. Other tour operators had their own stand. This one did not. The contact person also had nothing on his clothes to indicate that he was responsible for organizing the tour. The group was far too big. As a result, it moved very slowly. The guide was not always audible due to the size of the group. He also spoke miserable English. Even that was not always easy to understand. We will not be booking with headout again.

Fantastic experience, well organised. Would highly recommend it. Take the offer with the tour guide as they give a lot of information on the walk. Be there early as you still have a 20 minute walk to the start of the tour and if you park at the information centre a 15 minute bus trip.

The reservation provedure is very easy and we received all the information we need before our arrival. Our guide, Salvador if I remind well, was full of jockeys and good information and took care by each of the members of the group. I was completely delighted by the landscape and the atmosphere and I recommend everyone who arrives in the area to do this route. it is spectacular and safe at the same time

We had been wanting to visit the Caminito del Rey for a long time. We opted for a guided tour to learn more about the environment, the guide was phenomenal, he did not stop giving us information and documenting everything we saw during the whole tour. He made it very enjoyable. The organization was fantastic and the site was spectacular. Highly recommended.

The walk was amazing but there are issues with entry. Security at gate was pretty unfriendly and unhelpful however there are no signs and nothing is really clear so all of the tourists ask the same questions over and over... no wonder he was annoyed! People had trouble with their tickets due to lack of WiFi and they were told to go away and sort themselves out. A bit of signage would go a long way.

It is of course spectacular to walk 100 meters above a gorge on a small footbridge. However, I recommend doing the tour without a guide. It's quicker and the flood of information in English or Spanish is hard to remember.

The area impressed us a lot, we were a bit late but were still allowed to join and the guide Maria made it a beautiful experience. Tip: park at the first big parking lot if you are on time, the bus will take you further. We parked the car at the next parking lot after the tunnel on the left and walked through the pedestrian tunnel to the starting point. Allow for a walk of about 15 minutes in that case.

Thanks a lot dear Headout Customer Support Team. My husband and I love visiting places and appreciate art. As an artist myself I like seeing other artists work and how did or how they have evolved through their careers. To book tickets in advance is a relief for us, because it saves us time to get an easier access to museums, galleries, theatres, entertainment, etc. We have enjoyed our experience with Headout and we recommend you to use it.

The people are very friendly and the exhibition excellent. Once I got used to it I also loved the fact that they had changed the normal "permanent" exhibits almost entirely. The place has a gift shop but no restaurant, but it is situated in a location where there are restaurants to suit about every taste right in the doorstep.
