It was the first trip I booked and it was one to remember! I waited too late to get the kayaking and it was a tad hot for the hiking BUT I got to enjoy a dip in the river (fed by the famous thermal spring) and to visit and have lunch in Montanejos, a short 20 min walk along the gently winding river. I couldn’t resist getting nibbles at the bakery and buying olive oil while there! Our next stop - the waterfall, was over the top (alas we were too pooped to swim) but the last treat (yum - icecream!!) was the best! Great value for your money. Not only do you get to enjoy the experience but the way there is quite scenic! I can highly recommend this tour. Victor and Carla were great guides - professional and full of advice about other activities - shopping, restaurants and places to visit. Thank you, Carla! Thank you, Victor!

I did a day trip to Montanejos and I’m absolutely enchanted! ✨ It’s such a beautiful nature spot, with breathtaking views of the rock formations and a crystal-clear river. Everything was very well organised, and we felt so well looked after by Carla, who were incredibly friendly, approachable, and full of fun facts about the area. My friend even arrived in flip-flops, but they kindly provided her with a pair of trainers so she could safely join the hike. ❤️ Thank you for such a wonderful day! ✨
We had a lovely day!! Carla was a great Coordinator. She was very kind and helpful. We enjoyed our time a lot! Thank you!!😍
Beautiful scenery , excellent swimming opportunities
The excursion we took to Cullera, the guide is a delight, everything was super good,
We had the pleasure of spending a day in Montanejos, with our wonderful guide Carla. The ride was a bit over an hour and we stopped inbetween to grab some coffee, where we all got to know eachother. When we arrived at the spot my buddy and I went to relax, while Carla joined the rest, that chose the hike. The scenery was breathtaking and I enjoyed every second of it.After that we drove to a jawdropping waterfall, where Carla told us about some fun history, you'll have to go yourself if you want to learn about it ;) and to finish things off we went to this ice cream spot that was extremely good. The day slowly came to an end and turns out Carla has been taking candid photos the whole time. It really elevated the experience. The tour was great, yes but honestly I enjoyed being in such great company more that anything. (the group as well as Carla). I can't recommend this trip enough. It's a day I won't forget for a long time
We had an amazing day. The tour guide, Carla, was amazing! Definitely recommended!!
A relaxing visit with an interesting and very beautiful walk with Tina and Carolina.
It’s one of the most memorable trip I had! Everything were well planned, friendly tour guild supported us on the trip.
The guides were extremely friendly, fun and helpful. Stunning views and great food from the local restaurant. Technically you could drive there yourself for cheaper, but parking and knowing where to go would be stressful, having the guides eliminates the stress and hassle of the trip.
