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!

We went on two tours with Ivan and I can definitely tell that it was an incredible experience. He is a very interesting person and a very good guide and he showed us so many different places. I definitely highly recommend this to everyone!

Ivar was a very excellent narrator, he told us about the things we drove past and we got a great insight into the lives of the Spaniards. He talked about nougat production from the past to the present. We learned a lot about the caves.

Deux visites exceptionnelles. La grotte du chandelier est unique avec une hauteur exceptionnelle et une belle mise en valeur par les lumières. Le musée du nougat est très intéressant et nous explique bien la différence entre les différentes préparations. Ivan a su nous montrer toutes les diversités du paysage et agrémenter les visites d'anecdotes toutes plus intéressantes les unes que les autres. Je recommande vivement cette excursion avec Ivan.

Een lange rit door de regio van Alicante. De reisgids wist veel en kon ook uren en uren ononderbroken praten

Thomas_B

Der Besuch des Nougat Museums/Fabrik war sehr interessant. Auch die besuchte Höhle hat eine spannende Geschichte. Der Guide Ivan hat einen super Job gemacht.
