The caves, Buscot and the whole experience was brilliant, really worth booking. What made the experience even better was Grigor, what a fantastic guide and man! Super friendly and accommodating, extremely knowledgeable and his English is fantastic. Felt really safe the whole time we were with him. Thanks so much Grigor. Would 100% recommend.

Very punctual with the pickup. Attentive in explaining the tour to us and also giving us personal space. We felt very comfortable on the way there, during the tour, and on the way back. I would not hesitate for a moment to hire them again.

The best part of the tour was our driver and guide Grigor. He was most friendly and informative. It was like having a dear friend show you around is beloved home. We came by cruise ship which arrived 2 hours late. We contacted him by WhatsApp and he adjusted the pickup. He met us right at the ships’s exit. We were total 4 people together. It was a little tight in his 5 person SUV but Grigor’s driving was safe and comfortable. The Canelobre cave is a large, impressive cavern. It’s chock full of stalactite/stalagmite formations that you are very close to. There are many narrow steps down and up. We had to go through as a large group with a tour guide. It’s rather dark in places so you could bring a light. The ethnic music museum isn’t the main draw but was (surprisingly) charming to see unusual instruments including video demonstrations. Overall the site seeing was as-expected. Grigor’s hospitality was above and beyond.

We had an absolutely wonderful day! The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish: the journey, the beautiful scenery, and especially the caves, which were truly fascinating. What made the day even more special was our guide, Grigor. He is an exceptional tour guide: knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and always ready to share interesting facts and stories. You can really tell that he loves what he does and genuinely cares about making the experience enjoyable and memorable for his guests. We had such a great time and will remember this experience with a big smile. We would definitely recommend this tour, and especially Grigor as a guide!

Top marks for our guide, Grigor. He reached out on WhatsApp to coordinate the pickup. When our cruise ship arrived late he adjusted the pickup to accommodate. It was almost a personal tour since there were only 4 people in our group. Grigor was friendly and informative. It was a little tight in the 5-person compact SUV. Grigor’s driving was very safe and comfortable. The cave is magnificent. You are grouped and guided through the cave with a large group of people. You need to watch your footing as it is dark with many stairs.

We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Carlos. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable. He took us to a beautiful cave, where he shared interesting information and gave us plenty of time to explore. We also visited the charming little town of Busot, which was a lovely place to walk around and experience the local atmosphere. Carlos made the day relaxed, informative, and memorable. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great day out!

We had a fantastic experience at Cuevas de Canelobre. Well worth the visit. Our guide, Grigor, was pleasant, accommodating, and funny. He was very knowledgeable about the area. We also visited Busot. A picturesque little village that is well worth a visit. The church and the music museum were interesting. There were wonderful viewpoints in the town and at the castle ruins.

We completely enjoyed our experience at Cuevas de Canelobre. Being in the cave and seeing the formations close up was incredible. We also enjoyed visiting Busot — seeing the ethnic music museum and walking around the town for a bit. (Others in our group explored the castle.) Most importantly, our guide Grigor was knowledgeable, interesting, and fun. As a native of Alicante, he gave us a glimpse into life there, which we appreciated.
Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope to see you again soon 🌟
We have enjoyed a lot. It has been a fabulous experience and the guides are top-notch. A 12 on a scale of 10
