We had a phenomenal time! The catamaran and the "hammocks" were spacious (for six people each), there is bar service, the crew was very friendly... I would have stayed two hours more!

Absolutely amazing experience we done the walking tour plus football stadium and my other sons done the aquarium. We all had a fantastic day .

Well organised, However, does take a while to get out of benidorm and on the road due to pick ups

The boat and the balo area were super good but I think the boat was too full. Thank you very much!

A truly comprehensive, thorough and constructive tour. Thank you very satisfied!
