सेविल से कैमिनिटो डेल रे डे टूर

Before the trip, I stopped by the tour operator office in person to ask about the itinerary eg whether I need to bring my own lunch but they couldn’t tell me. On the trip, we made a surprise stop in Osuna for 2 hours for lunch and were dropped there with no guidance at all about what to do and where to go. I asked the tour guide and she told me to navigate myself using Google Maps. Most restaurants didn’t open until 1pm but we were leaving at 1:30pm. Luckily my phone had battery and data and I brought my own food. The tour bus was very comfortable, hiking guide (different one) and the hike itself were excellent.

I don't normally give extremely bad reviews, but this trip was a terrible experience. Very poor comms by the local operator & staff, eg - we were almost left behind by the bus guide, due to miscomm betw her & the reception!! And the operator did NOT give prior advice to customers to BYO F&B (the guide herself said that her co SHOULD have cos there's limited F&B options otw; many of us went hungry b4 the actual hike!). Then the driver "forgot" that his bus is "too big" to enter via the normal road, & we wasted almost 1 more hour as he had to re-route, truly unacceptable!! The walk itself is beautiful, but be warned that this area is totally not able to cope with massive crowds/tourism (from the small visitor's centre eatery; to the long Qs to get kitted up). And this was a "1 day" tour because of the Osuna village stop - but totally unnecessary & unfruitful. Strongly recommend to find other tour options that go straight to Caminito, it can definitely be done in just half a day :(
