An excellent trip with a warm, friendly and informative guide.
Interesting village, built up on rocky area with great views. It is the place we always visit when in the vicinity.
Just returned from great trip up to Guadalest. We booked through Mundo Booking in Benidorm & found the staff very useful. Only take cash so need to make sure you have this to book. Pickup was great & on time. Our driver was v good & our guide Betsy was brilliant & very helpful. Guadelest def worth a visit with spectacular views & places to visit. Can get bit chilly that high up so be warned!
fabulous informative guide on our coach. lovely half day in guadalest....3 hours is plenty of time to see the village...unless your dinning. reasonable price too.
Excellent trip. Pick up on-time. First class coach with Air conditioning. We bought the museum package at €9 each. Motorbike museum a real treat. Doll’s house a delight. Miniature museum underwhelming. Spectacular Guadalest was a unique treat. Highly recommended. An inexpensive way to see that Benidorm region is so much more than blue flag beaches.
What a beautiful day it was worth the money. And the town itself what beautiful and Spanish. And the drive through the mountains so beautiful. Tuning time well arranged.
Great trip from Benidorm to Guadalest, the bus was on time and the directions for the pick up point was very clear, our guide Betsy was very friendly and the bus driver was excellent, Guadalest was beautiful and we were given plenty of time to explore
I wouldn't recommend this trip at all, sorry. We got picked up nearly first so spent nearly a full hour going round Benidorm picking up other travellers as it was a big bus to fill. I wouldn't have minded but the tour guide reversed it on the way back so we were last to get dropped off which I thought wasn't fair. For the trip itself i've been on loads of excursions but this was the least interesting. We stopped off at an overpriced shop at a motorcycle museum and then Guadalest itself has nothing going for it in my opinion. Sure the view of the lake behind is nice but after that all you're left with is some overpriced shops selling the usual tourist stuff with unhappy looking shop keepers and 3 hours to fill with nothing much to do.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. I am really sorry that you did not enjoy one of Spain's most visited and declared "beautiful villages". Stunning mountain beauty and history isn't for everyone, neither is seeing one of the largest private collections of road legal motorcycles, so, I'm sorry that you were dissapointed on both points. I'm also sorry that you were unhappy with our pickup service, offering passengers such as you a collection from a point close to your accommodation, meaning you don't have to travel accross one of the largest holdiday resorts in Europe to be picked up. I'm also sorry that you don't appreciate that we have a starting point and then naturally an end point, which naturally would mean that pickups and drop offs are made in an opposite direction. I do get the impression that you won't be joining us again and I'm not sorry for that. I hope you are able to enjoy the rst of your stay in what must be a very disspointing counrty for you.
They changed the meetup spot, and hour and 15 mins before the tour to be at another location. They sent it as an automated message only stating this is the pickup location, and not that it had changed. I deliberately picked the location that I chose and was already there. I sent them messages about it no response, and no response from TripAdvisor. Very disappointing.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, We did not change anything, you simply did not read what you had booked. You booked the tour option FROM BENIDORM: POSEIDON PLAYA HOTEL (pickup from the bus stop on the main beach road at 10:35), this was also confirmed to you in writing not only at the time of booking but also the following morning at 08:50, almost two hours prior to your departure time. It would appear you did not read your booking, you did not read your confirmation and you did not answer your phone. Had you have done any of those, we would have been able to collect you at the point you desired no problem at all. So, for your inability to read clear and concise information, I thank you for blanming us for what was your waste of time and money.
We were one of the first picked up and spent a long time on the bus. Got off early on the return trip. We had the misfortune that we had very tight seats in the bus. At destination it was very nice and we really enjoyed this.
