We had a wonderful experience visiting the caves near Alicante! We were two families travelling together, and the entire tour was very well organized and enjoyable for everyone. A special thank you to our guide, Yevgen, who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. He shared so many interesting facts about the caves and the area and made the whole experience enjoyable for both the adults and kids. The service from beginning to end was excellent, and the caves themselves were absolutely beautiful and definitely worth visiting. A fantastic family experience and one of the highlights of our time in Alicante. Highly recommended — and thank you, Yevgen, for making it so memorable! ⭐️
The driver / tour guide was brilliant, We were picked up on time in a modern new van at the agreed meeting point. The prior communication with us was also outstanding. On the drive (and back) to the caves, he told us some interesting things about Alicante and the surrounding area (also recommendations, etc.) The cave itself was breathtaking. Significantly more beautiful than pictures can describe. All in all, an excursion that everyone must do. Highly recommended.
Our guide Yevgen was great! He contacted me the day before via WhatsApp to give detailed information about the meeting point. Our group were the first entrants to the caves ahead of the large groups - allowing us to move freely, hear descriptions, and take photos. Highly recommend this tour and Yevgen.
Really informative, great experience, friendly, knowledgeable guide, fun for all ages. Great communication from guide, really helpful in arranging collection and helped with suggestions for onward food and activity ideas.
A great half-day tour is a great opportunity to take a break from the heat and enjoy the incredible beauty of the caves. The tour is definitely worth its money! Particularly liked the small group format - much more comfortable and enjoyable than visiting caves with a large group and a local guide. Special thanks to Eugene for the excellent organization and enjoyable trip! Definitely recommended! 😊 I advise you to reserve a morning tour to enjoy the cave before it fills up with tourists.
Yevgeni was very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. This was a small group tour so it made more enjoyable.
Super driver good to tell along the way on the trip. Water in the car and air conditioning. Quiet and quiet driving with good time. The cave was beautiful.
A very good and informative trip, our guide was knowledgeable and the bonus of a small group was fantastic.
Great experience and very knowledgeable guide. The caves are not overcrowded and you walk away learning a few more things about nature with a well informed guide. Combining this with a tapas experience would be even better.
by family discovered this and it was definitely worth it,the guide was very clear and patient for older people and spoke fluent Spanish and English The paths were sometimes not equipped with lighting which can be dangerous definitely worth a visit
