Its July 2020 and covid 19 is still upon us, However, this activity was excellent. We only had one day in Alicante and wanted to make the most of our day rather than wandering around aimlessly. There was no need to worry as all the places we visited were well sanitised everyone has worn masks too . People were so friendly too. Silvina was our personal guide. She really made the whole experience very personal. Her knowledge about the local food and wine was brilliant. It was a day of great food, great wine and fun. Highly recommend this . Thank you Silvina
5. Day Trip to Guadalest from Benidorm or Albir
Overall Ratings
4.7 based on 67 reviews
No visit to the Costa Blanca is complete without a trip to its jewel in the crown, Guadalest. This fortified village perched precariously on a mountain top, is surrounded by some of the highest points in the province of Alicante, the Sierra Aixorta, Sierra Aitana and Sierra Serrella. Enjoy around three hours of free time to explore this beautiful town. This shared guided tour has a duration of 5 hours. The village of Guadalest dates back over a 1000 years and is steeped in history, from the prison and dungeon built in the 12th century to the old washing house used by the local women and has just over 200 inhabitants. Guadalest is probably as well known not only for the symbolic castle but also for the reservoir which serves all main surrounding towns including Benidorm with their water.
Inclusions: Tour escort/host, Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points, Air-conditioned vehicle
Exclusions: Museum entrance fees (optional), Food and drinks

Heidi at Round Town Travel was so helpful and without her I doubt if we would have been able to book our hotels in Benidorm using our bono viatge. They are very professional and have an extensive knowledge of the Benidorm and the surrounding area. It was a lovely surprise to find they had left us a bottle of Cava and Chocolates in our room at the Dynastic!! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and their day trips look fantastic value. Thank you Heidi look forward to our next booking with you.

Our tour guide, Ángel of Blue Med Tours, is simply one of the nicest, most knowledgeable tour guides we’ve ever met. He was professional, funny, and engaging. He took us around Novelda to see the Casa-Museo Modernista, a breathtakingly beautiful home; the Castillo de La Mola, a Gaudi-like, fantastical Santuario de Santa Maria Magdalena; and the Casino (with a catas tasting included). We went with a group of friends and colleagues --- Univ of Alicante and Univ of South Florida --- it was a magical day!
