Is it worth it?

It can be worthwhile if you want to see Altea and Calpe in the same day without arranging transfers separately and you like having plenty of independent time. The main trade-off is that the guided portions are short and a meaningful part of the day is spent on the coach. If you would rather spend several hours exploring a single destination in depth, a trip focused only on Altea or Calpe may suit you better.

💡 TourBookGo tip

Pay attention to how the Calpe time is divided: about 20 minutes of guided introduction, 40 minutes free in the historic center and roughly 2 hours by the seafront. If you want lunch, it needs to fit into that time and is at your own expense.
