everything is perfect, friendly and knowledgeable guide. the various places were spectacular and not to be missed
We had a very wonderful time. The small towns were amazing to visit. The waterfalls were kind of a little bit of a disappointment. We had to walk up so many steps just to get to the place to change our clothes and it was such a hot day that it was a little overwhelming. We had an OK time. It wasn’t anything special though.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed visiting Guadalest and Altea. Regarding the Algar Waterfalls, the site is a natural area with a number of stairs and uneven paths, which is mentioned in our tour information. We understand that with Spanish summer heat this can feel more challenging. Thank you for joining Hola Trip, and we appreciate your comments.
Tao was very helpful and very friendly, he knows a lot and we really enjoyed a lot. Altea very nice and Guadalest incredibly views.
Amazing scenery, smooth transportation, and great energy throughout the whole tour. Highly recommended
It was overall a very good day! very tiring but you get to see many nice places that are definitely worth a look 👀 I recommend +++
Great trip, fantastic places, big hugs for our extraordinary, friendly guide Maria who talked us through everything, very interesting anecdotes and history 😊. Big applause for our brave driver Alejandro for manoeuvring bus in such tiny spaces 😁. Highly recommend for anyone staying in the area. Thanks very much folks!
Thank you very much for this wonderful review! We are delighted you enjoyed the trip and the fantastic places visited. It is great to hear that Maria’s friendly guidance, stories, and explanations made the day so special, and that Alejandro’s driving skills were appreciated too. Thank you for recommending us, we hope to welcome you again soon with Hola Trip.
Everything super good, punctual give space to enjoy, the guide super formal, attentive, polite, always willing, nothing bad to say
Muchas gracias por su valoración. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de la excursión, de la puntualidad y de la atención del guía. Será un placer recibirle nuevamente en otra experiencia con Hola Trip.
I booked an excursion, in the end they didn't decide to do it and didn't let me know. They're a mess. I do not recommend it at all.
Lamentamos lo ocurrido. Les hemos enviado un correo informando de la cancelación, sentimos que no lo haya visto a tiempo. Como gesto comercial le ofrecimos cambiar la excursión a otra fecha de forma gratuita, pero usted ha decidido no aceptar la propuesta. Seguiremos trabajando para mejorar la comunicación. Un saludo
Wonderful experience. It's amazing to be able to see such different ladscapes in one day trip. We see a lot but I felt I still had time to discover each destination quite well as the tour is full day of 12 hours. Honestly I really recommand even more for the very fair price
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted you enjoyed the variety of landscapes and had enough time to explore each destination. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are glad you found the full-day tour to be great value. We look forward to welcoming you again for another Hola Trip experience.
Our tour guide Tao was brilliant - would really recommend this trip . Altea is beautiful worth seeing .Guadalest is also beautiful and quite breathtaking scenery and history - The Algar waterfalls are very special but the only downside for us was that it was extremely busy with so many people and it is difficult to find space to bathe - it is not for those who are not fit as a lot of climbing and unsteady rocks on the walking . Still worth seeing but at a quieter time perhaps
Thank you for your kind and detailed review! We are glad you enjoyed the tour and Tao’s guidance. We hope to see you again soon. Best wishes from Hola Trip!
