We did a morning trip in June. Weather was hot and hilly so good shoes necessary. Our guide, Javier couldn’t have been more personable or knowledgeable. He built rapport with with my wife and I immediately. As opposed to some guides who need to “stick to the script”, Javier was able to provide extensive info on every question we asked about our tour sites as well as random questions about Spain, government, culture and even roadside curiosities. He gave us food and restaurant recommendations, instructions on how to get back to our ship and felt like a friend by the time we left. Maybe best guide we ever had. And the sites were great too!! Definitely try to book early to avoid crowds, especially in tiny Guadalest.
