5.00Great trip out to the Caves and Busot. Ana was a friendly and informative guide. Steps in the caves are steep and a bit slippery in places. We were a small group and it was quiet in the cave so we could take our time. Busot was a nice little stop on the way back and the musical instrument museum was good. Highly recommend Paella Travel.

5.00Our guide, Ana, for this small party (7-person jumper van) was an absolute gem - full of area knowledge, and enthusiasm for optimizing our experience. The cave was stupendous and a must-see for anyone visiting the Alicante area. Busot was delightful and the view amazing from the Castell de Busot overlooking the town.

5.00The experience was amazing our Tour guide Anna., was perfect. Our only complaint was our tour guide was told to pick us up at a close hotel, when we were told by viator she was coming to our ship. So that was a missed communication.

Amazing Time at the Caves

5.00Ana was a wonderful guide, super friendly and was able to translate Spanish to English for me when necessary. She picked me up in a lovely van (with air conditioning) from a spot of my choosing and then we headed off for the caves. The views on the trip up into the mountains were spectacular and the caves are such a cool piece of history as well as a beautiful natural formation. We also visited the musical museum which is a private collection of instruments from around the world. All in all a lovely time, highly recommended.
Nice way to spend a couple hours

5.00Although I guess there is supposed to be a two person minimum – Anna picked me up and I was the only one on the tour so I had a private tour. Anna was very, very knowledgeable and made it a very pleasant day. There are many many stairs to climb down and up inside the cave, and the lighting in the photographs is from colored lights, not natural formations on the stalagmites. The music museum is part of a private collection of musical instruments from all over the world with one area featuring instruments from Busco area. The church in the small town was beautiful – and empty when we were there. I would welcome having Anna as my guide on any tour.
