Went over to Alicante for a couple of days with my mom to chill out. Saw this great excursion and thought why not? Best choice of the trip by far. Amazing views, story and scenes. We did not want to leave the waterfalls! This would have not being as half as amazing if it wasn't for the special guide Carlos! Generally learnt so much about Spanish culture, history and he was just a great vibe to have overall and brought the spirits up! GENUINELY THE BEST GUIDE THERE IS!
Carlos was fab, incredibly knowledgeable, fun, attentive and kind. We really enjoyed the trip, more beautiful memories made, gracious
A very relaxed bus ride, and the waterfalls were unique. The tour guide was also very relaxed.
Had an amazing trip. Nico was funny and informative. I particularly enjoyed the banter with him as he found it amusing that we didn’t find the elevator to the castle the day before and proceeded to scale the path to the top in 35° temperatures lol. Keep up the amazing work!
We loved the idea of being able to stay with the group or going off on our own to explore. It was a nice trip.
The guide was very professional and knows a lot about the different regions! Everything was well organised ☀️
the experience was marvelous, we got to see a very interesting village, Guadalest, and Algar waterfalls. the water was freezing, so it was a lot of fun swimming there while the sun was in its full force.
Marie our guide was really informative and made sure we had lots of information, she showed us around the old castle explained a few things before we went off for free time. Had a watsapp group page so got info sent to everyone with times etc once the trip started
The whole process of booking, pick up and activities on the trip was very easy and well planned. We saw some beautiful views at Guadalest and the Fonts D’Algar with a lovely refreshing dip in the river Algar to end the afternoon. Our guide Ula was excellent giving clear instructions for meeting times and some really interesting facts during the tour. A lovely day out! 😃 K&I 😃
Overall, we really enjoyed the Algar Waterfalls tour near Alicante. The location is beautiful and definitely worth visiting, with clear water and great natural surroundings. The organization was good and everything ran on time, and the guides were helpful. That said, it does get quite crowded, especially during peak hours, which takes away a bit from the experience. Also, some parts felt a bit rushed, so we didn’t have as much time to fully relax as we expected. Still, it’s a great half-day trip and a nice break from the city. I’d recommend it, just try to go early if possible.
