“Danny is an excellent guide. Explained historical context and gave helpful tips throughout. Guadalest and Altea were highlights, especially the castle of Guadalest.

“We had an amazing day! The Blue Lagoon and waterfall experience were absolutely beautiful and definitely the highlights of the trip. Be prepared—there’s quite a bit of driving involved. If you’re prone to motion sickness, I highly recommend taking something beforehand; two people on our tour actually got sick on the way up. What made this tour extra special was our engaged and thoughtful guide. They had a hut at the Blue Lagoon where we could safely leave our belongings, and they provided water shoes, life jackets for the kids, and floatation assistance. The swim is long and parts of the lagoon are quite deep, so these extras made a…”

“Miguel was an awesome tour guide. Having the transportation just for us and not on a strict timetable as you may be with a bus tour was so well worth the extra. Miguel took us to some amazing places with views unmatched. He was very attentive to us and our needs and helped and was flexible to ensure we had an amazing time. Probably the only drawback was the hot springs were not that hot but two of us got in and swam and for me it was a beautiful experience. We were in winter, early Jan, water about 22 degrees. We saw and patted many cats which was a…”
