Caminito del Rey Tours from Málaga

Updated November 2026

From Málaga the Caminito del Rey is about an hour away, but the walk is one-way and the public transport is limited. A tour from the city solves all of that: coach, ticket, helmet and guide in one booking.

How the day works

A coach leaves from central Málaga and drives to the north access near Ardales. You walk the route with your guide, finish at El Chorro, and the coach collects you there for the ride back. Most tours take six and a half to eight hours in total; the version with a white village and tapas takes about ten and a half.

Which tour should you choose?

Tour or do it yourself?

With a car you can save money by booking a ticket and driving yourself: see how to get there. Without a car, the train to El Chorro has only a few departures a day, so a tour is much simpler.
