Embark on an unforgettable experience discovering two of the most emblematic and photogenic villages on the Coast. Guadalest : is a picturesque medieval village set on a rocky rock and surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. Access to its old town is through a tunnel dug into the rock, a unique entrance that anticipates the beauty of the place. Its cobblestone streets, full of small craft shops and natural viewpoints, invite you to walk and discover its essence. From above, you will enjoy spectacular views of the turquoise water reservoir and the surrounding valley. You can also visit one of its museums or the Castle of San José. Altea la Vella : Its old town falls in love with its white houses, blue doors and flowery balconies that reflect the Mediterranean essence. Strolling through its streets is getting lost among art galleries, small boutiques, squares full of life and corners with history such as the Church of Our Lady of Consuelo. Reserve!

Shopping Trip
The tour guide was wonderful. Ana was very informative and provided lots of good information. The tour itself, however, was not quite what I was expecting. It was more of a shopping trip than it was an excursion of historic buildings.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review and for your kind words about me. Ana! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the guidance and the information shared throughout the day. Our Guadalest & Altea tour is designed to showcase the history, culture, and beauty of both villages, while also giving guests free time to explore at their own pace. Although there are local artisan shops to enjoy, shopping is entirely optional, and most of the time is intended for discovering the historic streets, viewpoints, monuments, and unique atmosphere of these beautiful destinations. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another of our tours Sue! Regards!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alicante.
How much does Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alicante usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Alicante is not rushed.
Is Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Alicante, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Alicante can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Alicante and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Alicante within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Alicante?
+
On Outty we rank every Alicante experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alicante Paella Cooking Class, Tapas, Drinks & Central Market, Alicante Wine Tasting and Tapas Club, Canelobre Caves and Busot Tour from Alicante. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Alicante?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Alicante?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Does Alicante: Tour to Guadalest and Altea by Libre with Transfer include hotel pickup?
+
