We really loved this trip it was money well spent . Our guide Isac was great and we enjoyed listening to him because he had informations about everything you need to know about places you visit or just pass by. The towns war so nice and worth visiting.
It’s wonderful to know that the trip was such a worthwhile experience and that you enjoyed discovering the different towns along the way. Isac’s knowledge and the stories he shared clearly added something special to the journey, and we’ll be happy to pass your kind words on to him. We hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again on another tour soon!
everything was great,everything was great
It’s great to know that you had such a positive experience with us. We truly appreciate your kind feedback and hope to see you again on a future adventure! Kind regards, Buendía
Excellent tour, a phenomenal day 😊
Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de un día tan especial con nosotros. ¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia y esperamos volver a acompañarte en una próxima excursión! Buendía
Guadalest perfect, a beautiful town, the views spectacular, it is very worthwhile. You have to go early because otherwise they send you to the parking lot below (2€) and the stairs to reach the town already make you arrive exhausted. The Algar waterfalls are another story ...you don't miss absolutely anything if you don't go, overcrowded, rocks everywhere, the pools and the waterfalls ....improvable in every way. I would refrain from going, besides the fact that the fiasco costs 8€.
It was a very nice and pleasant day the only thing we found is that the guide was a bit too much repeated so we lost too much time and at the last place les fontes de algar there was far too little time to enjoy the waterfalls and the nice fresh water
We zijn blij om te horen dat u een fijne en aangename dag heeft gehad. Tegelijkertijd nemen we uw opmerkingen over de tijdsindeling en de tijd bij de watervallen van Algar graag ter harte. Uw feedback helpt ons om onze excursies verder te verbeteren en onze gasten een zo aangenaam mogelijke ervaring te bieden. We hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen bij Buendía!
Good day out def worth a visit with family
Thank you for your review! We're pleased to hear you and your family enjoyed the day out. We hope to see you again in the future!
In season it is very expensive and crowded.
Thank you very much for your feedback. During the high season, this destination is often busier due to its popularity, which can also affect prices. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back on a future Buendía tour.
The tour was beautiful, money well spent. Altea and Guadalest are pretty and the views are amazing. The waterfalls were nice but it wasn’t for me. Isaac our tour guide, was very nice and gave us a lot of useful information about the area. Paco, was an excellent bus driver and made us feel very safe during the trip.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to know you enjoyed the tour, the stunning views of Altea and Guadalest, and that you found the day worthwhile. It’s also great to hear that Isaac’s explanations and Paco’s driving helped make the journey even more enjoyable. We hope to see you again on another Buendía experience!
First of all, I want to report that I have nothing against the organization that arranges this, but since I cannot judge the falls separately, I have no choice, The waterfalls are largely artificial and the paths to go up slowly are not provided for passage up and down at the same time Personally I find this flat commerce as the water was very dirty and full of insects, far too many people at the same time, parking spaces also very narrow and of course to be paid separately hence this conclusion
We waarderen het dat u uw ervaring met het bezoek aan de watervallen met ons deelt. We begrijpen dat het in het hoogseizoen op sommige momenten erg druk kan zijn, wat de beleving van een populaire bestemming kan beïnvloeden. Het spijt ons dat dit bezoek niet aan uw verwachtingen heeft voldaan. Uw opmerkingen over de drukte en de organisatie ter plaatse nemen we mee om onze ervaringen verder te blijven verbeteren.
This excursion was truly a beautiful experience, everything perfect! Our guide Issac was very good, he explained things very well and then he left us enough free time. We recommend him and if we take another trip we will do it again with him..thanks Monika and Luca
