A great day trip out of Alicante
A really great experence visting Guadalest and Altea from Alicante. Our pick up/meeting point is Plaza de Toros Alicante, so a super easy and a central location. Guadalest and Altea offer beautiful senery and many places to eat and drink. Ideally I would have liked another 30 minutes or so in Altea, but now we have been we will go again via the tram. Our host was super nice and knew a lot about the area. Highly recommended and actually extremely good value for money.

Great time
Maria was very knowledgable and was able to convey complex history in both English and Spanish. Thank you for the great tour :) Guadalest and Altea are both great and worth the visit

Guadalest is a very picturesque village and even though it was cloudy, it was still worth going. Altea was also really lovely.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guadalest and Altea Day Trip from Alicante or Benidorm: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Benidorm.
How much does Guadalest and Altea Day Trip from Alicante or Benidorm cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Benidorm usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guadalest and Altea Day Trip from Alicante or Benidorm take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Benidorm is not rushed.
Is Guadalest and Altea Day Trip from Alicante or Benidorm worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Benidorm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guadalest and Altea Day Trip from Alicante or Benidorm?
+
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 Guadalest and Altea Day Trip from Alicante or Benidorm suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guadalest and Altea Day Trip from Alicante or Benidorm?
+
Around 11 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 Benidorm 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 Benidorm and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guadalest and Altea Day Trip from Alicante or Benidorm 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 Benidorm 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 Benidorm?
+
On Outty we rank every Benidorm experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Benidorm Bike Tour with Hotel Pick up, Kayak and snorkel excursion to Cova Tallada, Entrance to the Motor Museum. 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 Benidorm?
+
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 Benidorm?
+
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.
