From the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped off, this is truly personalized. Alexander is quite knowledgeable about this tour and offers insights that I feel would not be available easily from other tour companies. His vehicle is clean and in fine condition. We feel that his excellent driving ability and safety concerns are a top priority, followed by a genuine interest to make this tour unforgettable for his guests. Alexander, thank you once again for a great day.

Just want to echo the previous 5 star reviews in that Sunshine Tours represented by Aleksander were the perfect hosts. Visiting and walking Caminito del Rey in itself is a great experience but having Aleksander as our guide made it all the more great value for money. We felt as though we were treated as royalty or in Aleksanders words “not ordinary folk”.
Fabulous day out and we would recommend any reader to use Sunshine Tours for a much more personal service and avoiding the large coach parties.
Thanks Aleksander for a great day out and hope to see you again next time we are in Malaga.

We did several tours with Sunshine Tours. Both Alex and Anne were knowledgeable, and took us to some outstanding places. We felt like the locals and enjoyed the sights, cuisine, and wines that make Malaga such an amazing place to visit. They had some great history of the places we visited and you really could appreciate the people who make Malaga home. Great guides, and new friends!

We have been planning our tours with Sunshine Tours for over 2 years - pre COVID. They were very easy to engage with and respond to our requests. Prior to our visit we asked to confirm the guides vaccine status as we are trying to stay safe. After 2 emails they finally responded that our guide would be Robin and he was vaccinated. However, they didn’t mention that we were getting Robin because Alex was not vaccinated. Turned out this made a huge difference.
Alex is the seasoned guide that everyone raves about. Robin was a very nice person, but not a full time guide or even moderately effective as a guide. That made our tours, particularly to Granada, less enjoyable and at times frantic.
Day 1 was our tour to Granada and Alhambra. On the plus side, Sunshine agreed to take us there from Motril, which is not something they’ve done before… and the port turned out to be challenging. Ride to Granada was fine but then we got lost for at least 30 minutes in Granada trying to find the parking garage. We then hiked up to a great vantage point, however, Robin provided little historical commentary, walked much faster than all the group could manage, and what he did explain often didn’t wait until the whole group was close enough to hear.
For lunch, we stopped at a small restaurant… but not the right one, at first. Our Alhambra reservation for the palace tour was at 2:30pm, arranged by Sunshine. Unfortunately, Robin had further challenges getting to Alhambra and we were delivered at 2:25 to the front gate. This left us 15 minutes to get audio guides, get through the check-in process and a very rapid 10 minute walk to barely make our tour window. An experienced guide would have known to get us there at least 20 minutes earlier so that we could experience the areas on the way to the palace, particularly as we were on our own to even figure out where we were going.
We did provide feedback to Alex when we finished that day, as we had another tour the next day. He told us our choices were to stick with Robin, have an unvaccinated (but masked) Alex, or cancel. We opted to continue.
Day 2 was to Ronda. This went better (though our expectations were pretty low), perhaps because he knew it better or our feedback. Nice walk with amazing views. Robin seemed somewhat more tuned into speed of group and providing historical info. Lunch was fantastic.
The primary driver of our rating was that we couldn’t get the level of service we had expected. Had they explained the situation 2 months earlier when we asked and perhaps suggested an alternative, that would have been fine. However, what we experienced was a company more concerned with keeping a booked tour that maintaining their reputation.

Walking the Caminito del Rey is an experience by itself, but this experience can be made much better if everything around it is prepared professionally. That is exactly what Alexander from Sunshine Tours did. The reservation and the follow up by email was very easy and convenient. At the last minute, we had to change the date of the tour because the authorities had to close the Caminito del Rey due to excessive heat. Alexander took care of everything and we didn't have to go through the hassle of dealing with rescheduling the tickets. The hotel pickup was on time and during the drive to the Caminito del Rey, Alexander provided us with all the information we needed to know before walking the path. At the end of the tour, we were greeted by a glass of bubbles and a degustation of local olives, cheese and almonds before the ride back to the hotel. We highly recommend Sunshine Tours to everyone who wants an unforgettable experience while visiting Malaga.

We booked our Caminito del Rey tour with sunshine tours after reading all the positive reviews. Anne was great through the booking process and keeping me up to date all the way up til our tour date. Alexander picked us up promptly at the port and drove us to the site in a comfy vehicle while he explained the history. Tickets had already been purchased and we were guided into the site. The hike is amazing and not strenuous. Amazing views and an amazing experience. Alexander met us at the end of the trial with some treats and something to drink! He then drove us through some back road villages on the way back to the port. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. I highly recommend using sunshine tours!

The booking with Sunshine was straight forward with very friendly communications.
Alex met as at our hotel and took me and 5 friends to the Caminito Del Rey, en route he told us lots of interesting facts about CDR and Malaga/Andalusia itself.
On completion of the walk we were greeted with some local delicacies which rounded off the walk perfectly.
On the way back we he took us a rural route back to Malaga central where were able to pick pomegranate and peppercorns from the back seat.
For the price of what we paid we definitely got our money's worth. 10/10, cannot fault our day.
Thanks so much!

If you plan to brave the King's Path, do so through Sunshine Tours!! They will arrange your tickets and take you from your holiday address to the start of the route with a private driver. We were a family of 5, the youngest of which was 8 years old. (Younger people are not allowed, they will be checked with their passport at the entrance). The tour is easy to do, even if you are a little afraid of heights. On a hot day, take plenty of water with you when you go out. Sunshine tours gave us an extra bottle of water, which we could definitely use. The tour itself is just not normally beautiful, just enjoy it. Don't walk too fast and look around you carefully. At the end of the tour, the driver will pick you up again and provide you with a tasty snack. For us it was truly a day we will never forget, thanks Sunshine Tours!

We were so happy will all aspects of our Granada tour with Sunshine Tours, from booking to the handling of questions to the tour itself. They are extremely professional and handle all questions quickly and effortlessly (special thanks to Anne!). Alexander was our guide and he was fabulous. He is very friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and personable. He truly cared that we would experience the perfect day. Granada and the Alhambra were wonderful. Lunch was delicious and our treat on the way home was very special. Thank you so much. I hope we can come back to Spain and tour with you again. Don’t miss a tour with this company!

We will be in Malaga in May. I wanted to see if 5/16 is available for 4 people and confirm price is 490 Euros to the Alhambra

I think you should contact Sunshine Tours directly thru their website. Alexander or Anne ( the owners) answers questions right away. Unfortunately, we were not able to avail ourselves of their Alhambra tour. But we did Caminito Del Rey ,Malaga tour , and Gibraltar. Ann and Alexander are a great couple! They even dropped us off to the airport ! 😊
