This excursion was truly a beautiful experience, everything perfect! Our guide Issac was very good, he explained things very well and then he left us enough free time. We recommend him and if we take another trip we will do it again with him..thanks Monika and Luca
Skip this tour people. You jump on a big bus of fellow tourists and get hearded round like sheep. Guide did his best to try explain things but in the end the group was too noisy or too big so you were too far away. The last stop at the waterfalls was rubbish and way too overcrowded. Just rent a car and go see some places for the day.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations and that you were not able to fully enjoy the excursion. We appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving our tours. Kind regards, Buendía Travel.
It was a great excursion. All 3 sites are beautiful and the tour guide Maria was excellent. Super knowledgeable and a wonderful personality Bus and driver were great as well.
We’re really happy to hear you had such a great excursion and enjoyed all three sites. It’s wonderful to know Maria made such a positive impact with her knowledge and personality, and that everything on the transport side worked smoothly too. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience!
This tour is beautiful! Worth the money. The towns are so pretty and the views wow! The only sad point is the hours for visiting the castle changed as we were there. So if you get to Guadaleat and the castle is opened start by visiting it because they can decide to close it without even telling us or our guide.
We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and that the towns and views left such a strong impression. We’ll take your comment about the castle into account to help improve how this kind of situation is communicated in the future. Kind regards
Really good excursion. The guide was great and can't fault anything
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the trip and destinations visited. It’s great to know the guide helped make the experience even better.
Intense and excellent. I would do it again. Bring a swimsuit, towel, comfortable shoes, and also water shoes, a cap or hat, and a scarf; it can get chilly in the mountains. I enjoyed it immensely!!!!!
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra mucho saber que la experiencia cumplió con todas tus expectativas. También agradecemos tus consejos, seguro que serán muy útiles para futuros viajeros. ¡Esperamos verte de nuevo muy pronto en otra excursión con Buendía Travel!
Only issues were Pick up point was different location on same road from text and email on clicking google map link . If there was a clearer landmark in the detail as the bus station was huge , 6 lane main road carriageway and no clue as to above or underground. If it said outside station hotel it would be better! Luckily the bus was brightly coloured and the tour operator name on the front so we ran after it! More info about footwear and being able to swim with watershoes in the list would have helped. Long freetime in each place . Excellent guide beautiful places.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the beautiful places, the generous free time, and the excellent guidance. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding the pick-up point instructions and footwear information, and we'll use them to help improve the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you again soon!
The tour itself was pretty good, love it... the only inconvenience we all 9 of us had, it was that tour lady talk a lot. And made worse bc she was doing English and Spanish. If I just knew that it was going to be like that I would not gone in this tour. I speak both languages but I made the reservation in Spanish not in English. I don't understand why they have to mix both group.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and the places visited. The experience is usually run in both Spanish and English, as announced on the website, to accommodate all guests in the group. We really appreciate your comment and hope that, overall, you still had a very enjoyable day with us.
Excellent work by the guide; everything was perfectly organized.
Merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que l'organisation et le travail de notre guide aient été à la hauteur de vos attentes. À bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures ! Buendía Travel
Lovely trip. Well organised and the guide was very knowledgeable. Only thing we were a bit disappointed with was when we arrived in Altea, the first stop off on the trip, many of the shops hadn’t opened yet. We would’ve liked to have shopped here. Otherwise a lovely tour.
