Guided Tour of Alicante with Certified Guide
Description
The surroundings of the city of Alicante, the region of l'Alacantí, is a semi arid area at the foot of the mountains that limit this territory. Agriculture in the past and residential tourism today have modified the area, mixing the old and the modern in a unique location. The Canalobre caves are a natural treasure hidden in the heart of the mountain. Not far away, leaving the watchtowers of Xixona and Busot behind, we will find an essential product in our Christmas celebration, the Nougat. Enjoy a private tour led by a certified and perfectly qualified guide. Get to know these places in a different and exclusive way

We will focus on discovering the interesting Canelobre's caves history with a guided tour inside the caves.
The castle, previously called "Bisant", is located to the north of the town on top of a hill. Its Muslim origin is believed to date from the 12th century, as was the founding of the town. The fortress was part of the defensive system of Alicante
The monastery of the SANTA FAZ (Holy Face), also known as the Veronica's monastery, is the monastery where the SANTA FAZ has been kept for 500 years
The AZUD de Sant JOAN. Crossing what is now a residential area, we find an infrastructure created to divert water till the coast, working until the middle of the 19th century

the seller Simone P. was highly professional treated our purchase with extreme precision with friendliness and availability.
muchas gracias un placer haberle atendido.
Cancelled the trip for no reason by email at short notice, but not cancelled on Viator app. Viator didn’t know what was going on and said not cancelled really. Phoned operator who said they had cancelled because of the weather, which was perfect! No refund as yet.
sorry for the inv¡convenience the payement has been refund already
The monastery of Faz was the most interesting stop on the journey. We had no idea that the relic they have was here in Alicante. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout our experience making it all that more enjoyable! Also loved visiting the cave and the Turrón factory/museum and the little town of Busot and the Museum of Music they have there.
thanks a big pleasure
Ivar was a very excellent narrator, he told us about the things we drove past and we got a great insight into the lives of the Spaniards. He talked about nougat production from the past to the present. We learned a lot about the caves.
Hands down, this was probably the best private tour I have ever been on! Ivan is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! I learnt so much about Alicante and some history from Ivan. The Turron (nougat) museum was pretty interesting and I'm glad I did this tour because I probably would have never visited this museum and understood how Turron is different from Nougat (and actually better!). The caves were just amazing! Looking at the mountains, you wouldn't really think that there were these amazing caves. We also visited Buscot and walked up to the remains of the castle. There were stunning views from the top and Ivan explained the history behind the castles and how they were positioned and built. I really enjoyed this tour and I would probably visit Alicante again just to do more tours with Ivan. It was actually my birthday on the day that we did this tour and this tour made it so much more enjoyable! So thank you Ivan for an amazing birthday!
thank you so much !!! greetings
We went on two tours with Ivan and I can definitely tell that it was an incredible experience. He is a very interesting person and a very good guide and he showed us so many different places. I definitely highly recommend this to everyone!
Ivan was an incredible guide with a lot of knowledge and kindness. I will definately recommend this tour to everybody. Thank you Ivan for giving me this experience.
muchas gracias
