Full description
Depart Alicante and journey towards the village of Guadalest in the Guadalest Valley for a 6-hour tour of the scenic setting far from the crowded beaches of the Costa Blanca.  Travel inland through a mountainous area lined with charming villages. Upon arrival in the spectacular valley, go to the fortress of Guadalest village (El Castell de Guadalest) and see the remains of the 11th-century Alcozaiba fortress and San Jose Castle at the top of the cliff. Enjoy some free time to get to know the village and visit one of its museums, such as the Micro-Gigantic Museum. Continue to Las Fuentes del Algar (Algar Waterfalls) to admire a series of crystal-clear small springs and waterfalls in a spectacular setting. Bring your swimming costume to take a refreshing dip in the springs during the summer months, or just soak up the area's surrounding pathways and natural pools.

    We had a phenomenal experience. Our tour guide deserves high marks for his driving skills, friendly demeanor, excellent navigation and superb knowledge of the region. As we reminisce about the tour, we talk most about our guide. He was funny, personable and a true gem of a human being.

    So pleased to see Alberto again, we knew the day would be truly memorable. He is the best guide we nave ever had, a steady pace, interesting information and time for lunch. The only downside, would be ,having to pay for 3 people instead of 2 which makes the day expensive, and the falls were very busy, understandable being summer

    I was disappointed that I had to pay for 3 people to go on this trip even although there was only 2 of us. I think a minimum of 2 is much fairer and much more realistic to request. It was a very expensive day out for me because of this and meant we couldn’t go on any other trips.
