Interesting tour with a guide in English, very nice and entertaining, but he did not speak Spanish, even though they told us he would be bilingual. Tickets to the museums are not included in the price, you have to pay them on the bus before arriving in Guadalest, they are optional. The town is small and beautiful, in 3 hours there is time to eat there.

Beautiful

This was a lovely trip. We have 2 adults a baby and toddler as our group, we lived the big and small museum in the town, even my toddler didn't want to leave! It's cooler in the mountains but sunny. Lots of little stands and shops and found everyone super helpful with the baby and he was very much fussed over! Lovely tourist shops, got some leather wool lined slippers for the kids at 2 euro! Bargain!! We didn't go to the bell tower but we found a little park for the kids with marvelous views of the mountains. We moved on to the motor museum, not normally my thing but a few interesting specimens right next to a farm shop, my daughter had their honey lollipop and almond cake, was very good, had lots of homemade preserves and wines. All in all All great trip
