Ana was super friendly and picked us up at the cruise port. The cave was fascinating she was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the castle ruins and quaint town. I highly recommend her tour.
Hi Linda! I'm so grateful you wrote such a lovely review! We had a wonderful day and I wish you a fantastic trip back! Gracias y gracias!
Great trip out to the Caves and Busot. Ana was a friendly and informative guide. Steps in the caves are steep and a bit slippery in places. We were a small group and it was quiet in the cave so we could take our time. Busot was a nice little stop on the way back and the musical instrument museum was good. Highly recommend Paella Travel.
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for the review! Yes, the caves are a bit humid, so you need to be careful in some sections. Thanks again for the review and for taking the time, and I hope to see you again! Besos!
Our guide, Ana, for this small party (7-person jumper van) was an absolute gem - full of area knowledge, and enthusiasm for optimizing our experience. The cave was stupendous and a must-see for anyone visiting the Alicante area. Busot was delightful and the view amazing from the Castell de Busot overlooking the town.
Hi Miguel! Thank you so much for taking some time out of your vacation to write this review! It helps me a lot and I greatly appreciate your support! Best regards y hasta la próxima!
Great wee tour lucky enough to be just me my partner and my son, tour host was great telling us about the caves and more, second time using viator both times have been great
Hi! Thank you so much for your review! It really helps us continue growing on Viator and with other customers who want to trust us. Best regards!
The experience was amazing our Tour guide Anna., was perfect. Our only complaint was our tour guide was told to pick us up at a close hotel, when we were told by viator she was coming to our ship. So that was a missed communication.
Hi Terri! Thank you so much for your review! I really enjoyed being your guide that day! I hope you had a good trip back! Best regards
Cave was very interesting. Paella Travel Guide spoke good English and was very informative. Enjoyed our one on one experience. Would highly recommend.
Ana was a wonderful guide, super friendly and was able to translate Spanish to English for me when necessary. She picked me up in a lovely van (with air conditioning) from a spot of my choosing and then we headed off for the caves. The views on the trip up into the mountains were spectacular and the caves are such a cool piece of history as well as a beautiful natural formation. We also visited the musical museum which is a private collection of instruments from around the world. All in all a lovely time, highly recommended.
Hi Alex! It was a pleasure being your guide! I had a great time with you and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you continue to have a wonderful vacation! Best wishes!
Although I guess there is supposed to be a two person minimum – Anna picked me up and I was the only one on the tour so I had a private tour. Anna was very, very knowledgeable and made it a very pleasant day. There are many many stairs to climb down and up inside the cave, and the lighting in the photographs is from colored lights, not natural formations on the stalagmites. The music museum is part of a private collection of musical instruments from all over the world with one area featuring instruments from Busco area. The church in the small town was beautiful – and empty when we were there. I would welcome having Anna as my guide on any tour.
Hello! This is a lovely review! It was a pleasure to have had this visit together so close! I hope your trip continues to be wonderful, and don't hesitate to contact me with any information you need! Greetings and thanks again!
