Yevgen was a very friendly & knowledgeable tour guide. We were very impressed & relaxed, he made the trip so interesting & you couldn't help but listen to every world! Canelobre Cave was really good followed by a walk around the next Village Busot, again was very interesting. He gave the personal touch & not from a script book. Highly recommend this tour. Picked us up on time with a bottle of water to hand, again the personal touch & given a little gift at the end of the tour. Recommend 100%.
Absolutely must book. Fantastic tour, amazing tour guide who went above and beyond with information always adding personal touches to make the day feel special! I could not recommend enough! I would give 10 stars if i could!
Great excursion! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish.
Awesome tour! Our guide knew a lot about the caves and was so friendly. 10/10 recommend this tour. The town of busot was adorable as well!
We recently took a trip to the caves near Alicante and Busot Castle with Yevgen, and we had a wonderful experience! Yevgen was an excellent company throughout the day. He arrived on time in a clean, air-conditioned car, making the journey very comfortable. Yevgen was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. He even took photos of us inside the cave, which we really appreciated. The cave itself is quite small, but it is a unique place where concerts are sometimes held, so it's definitely worth looking out for special events. The views from outside the cave were absolutely outstanding. Afterwards, we visited Busot Castle and the Ethnic Music Museum, which was great fun. Busot is very charming, and our group of six had a fantastic time exploring it. As a lovely surprise, Yevgen also gave us a small lizard magnet as a souvenir, which was a thoughtful touch! We came away with wonderful memories of Alicante and the surrounding area. Thank you very much, Yevgen, for such an enjoyable day!!! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable trip in the Alicante area.
We were kept well informed and were collected at the arranged time. The trip was informative and Yevgen was friendly and resourceful. Highly recommend

Enjoyed the tour! Good tour guide and he had a lot of knowledge about the caves. Busot music museum is cute. Would recommend if you’re looking for something to do in Alicante besides the beach.
Yevgen gave us an amazing tour.
Informative, lively, friendly, and punctual! We used this tour as part of our Yoga Retreat. Not only did he confirm several times and show up at the appointed time, but he was very engaging, professional, and gave us a great tour. We were able to get into the caves before everyone else, so it was a really awesome and private experience, full of interesting facts. The Basot tour was wonderful also. Cute, quaint town. We really loved the music museum and he gave us time to enjoy a slow picnic lunch that had packed before heading back. Highly recommend this over the other guides offered!
