My family took a tour of Canelobre Caves and the town of Busot with Alberto and had the best time! The caves are incredible to see in person and to go with a local really added to the experience. Alberto had great info and tips, and even got us in early. Afterwards, he took us to wander around the small town and treated us to a drink to support a local business. As a bonus, his van was comfortable, had great air conditioning, and provided a booster seat for our child without us asking. He spent the 30 min drive from Alicante telling us about the local area. Highly recommend this tour!

An excellent visit. The cave and the subsequent visit to the Busot museum, very interesting. But I highlight the organization and service by the operator, Paella Travel, and especially their guide, Ana Raquel López. A magnificent professional, attentive and proactive, who made the tour an unbeatable experience. Thank you.
Fantastic experience and so glad I booked this trip in a smaller group with Ali-Oli tours. The caves are amazing, such a vast space and with so many beautiful natural features. Alberto was a brilliant guide, very friendly and knowledgable and this made the whole thing more enjoyable. The trip was comfortable (air conditioned vehicle) and planned well. It may not be for those less able due to the stairs/ those scared of heights. The village was a cute extra addition to the trip and worth seeing. I booked via Viator and was worried about finding the pick up point but they messaged in advance with the details and a picture, and everything was really easy. I highly recommend this tour and operator.
We had a fantastic trip to the cave. Our guide Alberto was a very nice guide and he told a lot about the Cave and its history, the little town Busot, where we had a drink was also an interesting sight.
Excellent tour very informative ,small group was a beautifull experience. Alberto was super quide relaxed full of information lovely quy will use these tours again . Amazing
Fantastic trip to the Calenobre caves and tour of Busot. Alberto was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the caves, town and area. Absolutely recommend this tour, wear sensible shoes are caves are slippy inside.
Thank you Hazel for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the trip to the Caves and the tour of Busot with Alberto. It’s great to hear you appreciated his knowledge and professionalism — and thank you for the helpful tip about footwear for future visitors!
Our short day tour with Ali-Oli Tours went far beyond typical sightseeing. The Canelobre Caves were stunning, and the comfortable hybrid van made the ride smooth and relaxing. What really stood out was our guide — professional, welcoming, and full of local knowledge. We didn’t just visit attractions; we met locals, shared stories, and felt part of the community, making the whole experience personal and unforgettable.
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the Canelobre Caves tour and that your guide made the experience truly memorable.
Unique experience in Alicante the visit to this cave. We liked it a lot, recommended to go with the family. It is true that we waited a little longer, because of the expectation they had created and... the guided tour was not a big deal (for the ticket price). We still loved it!
Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia y por valorar positivamente la visita a las Cuevas del Canelobre. Nos gustaría aclarar que no tenemos constancia de que haya realizado nuestro tour con transporte incluido. En nuestros servicios, nuestro guía ofrece siempre una visita completa de aproximadamente 45 minutos dentro de la cueva. Por lo que leemos en su comentario, entendemos que su reseña corresponde a la visita general a la cueva y no a nuestro tour organizado. Le agradeceríamos, si lo considera oportuno, que publique su opinión en la página oficial de las Cuevas del Canelobre, para que futuros visitantes puedan encontrar la información más precisa.
Great quick excursion to the caves and near by charming town of Busot. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend a small group, you can be the first to arrive and you get to enjoy the wonder without the crowd.
We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour! Being among the first to explore the caves is one of the special touches we offer, giving our guests a peaceful and memorable experience.
