Everything was perfect. The guide was very nice, helpful and had much knowledge of the area and the Caminito which he shared with us on our way to the Caminito del Rey. I made my reservation from Norway and the trip went as I expected from pick up to drop off.

A great visit to two beautiful places on the Spanish coast. Nerja is spectacular with amazing views of the sea, and many small shops and restaurants.

The driver (professionally dressed) was waiting at the airport with a visible sign. Took us right to the nearby parking lot. Ride was very pleasant!

It was an amazing experience! I would recommend to anyone who visits Malaga! Stunning scenery!

Great day out. Good value and best route from Torre del Mar.
