Is it worth it?

It can be particularly worthwhile if you want to see Altea, Guadalest and the Algar Waterfalls without spending time arranging each transfer separately. The main trade-off is the time split: each stop has a defined window, and some reviews would prefer longer in Altea or Guadalest. If you want half a day or a full day in just one place, an independent visit may suit you better.

💡 TourBookGo tip

If the Algar Waterfalls are your priority, bring water shoes and remember that July and August can be very busy. If you do not plan to swim, reviews warn that shaded areas and places to sit can be limited in high season.

Before you book

What is included and what you pay for yourself

The tour includes round-trip transport, a guide, tour coordinator, guided visits in Altea and Guadalest, free time at all three stops and admission to the Algar Waterfalls. Discounts at some museums are also mentioned.

Food, drinks, hotel pickup or drop-off and admission to museums, the castle or other optional Guadalest attractions are not included. The exact meeting point depends on the option booked.

Who this day trip from Benidorm suits best

It is especially practical if you want to use one day to experience three different settings and prefer transport and Algar admission to be included in the same booking.

It is less suitable if you want to explore every town at a very slow pace or need full accessibility. The activity is listed as unsuitable for people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users, and some travelers would prefer longer in Altea or Guadalest.

Bring comfortable shoes and clothing. Water shoes can be useful if you plan to enter the water at the Algar Waterfalls. Food and drinks may not be consumed on the vehicle.

Food, glass containers and alcoholic drinks are not permitted inside the Algar Waterfalls site. Pets are not allowed except assistance dogs. The published itinerary is indicative and may change.

TourBookGo recommendation

Three sides of Alicante without planning three separate trips

Altea brings the Mediterranean atmosphere, Guadalest the historic mountain setting and the Algar Waterfalls the natural pools and cascades. The tour works because it brings all three together with transport, guidance and Algar admission in one booking.

Check the meeting point, language and time for your date and, if the pace of the itinerary fits your plans, complete the booking directly on GetYourGuide.
