Our guide Karen was fun and relaxed and gave us a lot of information about the sites. We felt like we were running out of time at the sites, maybe because they were so interesting and beautiful. Would recommend!

The guide (Isaac) was very kind, gave a lot of information and showed us around at the three places for about 10 minutes. After that we were free to explore by our own, 1.5 hour at each of the three sites. The driver (Marco) was also excellent: driving smoothly and carefully. All well arranged! We only had bad luck with the weather, rainy until 14:00 hours.

This was my last day in sunny Spain before heading to not so sunny Scotland. A really enjoyable trip made even better by our host Danny, very knowledgeable, funny and offered great tips. I never realised how mountainy the Alicante area was with some breathtaking scenery. A nod to our coach driver.

Wir haben einen perfekten Tag in der Umgebung von Alicante verbracht. Unser Tourguide Dani war super, er hat den Tag informativ und unterhaltsam gestaltet. Nie wäre uns langweilig geworden. Auch hatten wir nicht das Gefühl, für einen Stop zu wenig Zeit gehabt zu haben. Top!
