“After the Red Canyon tour this was our 2nd tour with Climbo. Again we were a small group of 8 persons travelling in a minibus. Our tour guide of the day was Daylos. He's quite energetic and a vibrant person. He told us a lot about the history and the life on the island. We never felt bored. The spots we visited were beautiful and the hike was amazing with a lot of photo moments. Daylos definitely knew the right spots to get the best shots. We even got lucky to see the Teide on Tenerife. And later on, while we were catching a good spot to enjoy the sunset,…”

Review the 12-hour Caminito del Rey day trip from Seville, with practical advice on transport, guides, hiking, meals, timing, and value.
“Antonio was a fantastic knowledgeable guide, funny, gave just the right amount of information for a long coach trip.

Hike Los Cahorros near Granada on a small-group tour with suspension bridges, canyon paths, Sierra Nevada views, and local guides.

Hike Lanzarote’s volcanoes with a small group, expert guides, hotel transfers, snacks, and striking views for $50.
“Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared her interest and enthusiasm for the landscape, bringing it alive for us. We had lots of mini stops to understand the landscape which were fascinating, I felt I learned a lot whilst enjoying a hike. It's well worth hiking with a guide as it's important to stay on the path so as not to accidentally destroy the landscape. I will certainly book another hike next time I visit.”

Review of the Caminito del Rey guided hike in Andalusia, with canyon views, practical tips, safety notes, and advice on value.
“A great English speaking guide (Paul) took a relatively small group of ten on the walk. He was excellent, humorous, informative and responsive. The setup was professional with good security and pandemic measures well up to par. The scenery is beyond words even for one like me who’s used to Lofoten and the Arctic. Simply stunning, even though that’s cliche. Physically the walk itself is about 7 km and not strenuous but people with fear of heights should not do it. There are several stretches where you feel you have nothing beneath you for a hundred metres or so, and there is one suspended (and transparent) bridge over a deep…”
