    Cancelled the trip for no reason by email at short notice, but not cancelled on Viator app. Viator didn’t know what was going on and said not cancelled really. Phoned operator who said they had cancelled because of the weather, which was perfect! No refund as yet.

    The monastery of Faz was the most interesting stop on the journey. We had no idea that the relic they have was here in Alicante. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout our experience making it all that more enjoyable! Also loved visiting the cave and the Turrón factory/museum and the little town of Busot and the Museum of Music they have there.

    Hands down, this was probably the best private tour I have ever been on! Ivan is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! I learnt so much about Alicante and some history from Ivan. The Turron (nougat) museum was pretty interesting and I'm glad I did this tour because I probably would have never visited this museum and understood how Turron is different from Nougat (and actually better!). The caves were just amazing! Looking at the mountains, you wouldn't really think that there were these amazing caves. We also visited Buscot and walked up to the remains of the castle. There were stunning views from the top and Ivan explained the history behind the castles and how they were positioned and built. I really enjoyed this tour and I would probably visit Alicante again just to do more tours with Ivan. It was actually my birthday on the day that we did this tour and this tour made it so much more enjoyable! So thank you Ivan for an amazing birthday!
