    Charming towns in Alicante

    Explora Alicante Tours offered us excellent service. Grigor picked us up at the hotel and offered us an extraordinary private tour of Altea and Villajoyosa. I recommend it 100%

    Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por su reseña! Ha sido un placer conocerles y espero volver a verles pronto. 😊

    Efficient way to explore area around Alicante

    Recommend to see Altea and Villajoyosa when you visit Alicante. Two beautiful small towns:) When only in Alicante for a short time definitely recommend this tour. If more time, you could take the team and have more time in each place

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope to see you again soon 🌟

    Wonderful Day with Grigor

    We had a wonderful day with Grigor going to Altea and Villajoyosa coming from our cruise ship in Alicante. Both towns are interesting. Grigor was a good and safe driver. He told us how to get to the Alicante Castle Santa Barbara and dropped us in town center. We recommend this tour to everyone.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope to see you again soon 🌟

    Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Benidorm.

    How much does Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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 Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca take?

    +

    Plan for about 5.5 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 Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Benidorm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca?

    +

    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 Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca?

    +

    Around 1 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca 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 Kayak and snorkel excursion to Cova Tallada, Benidorm Bike Tour with Hotel Pick up, Costa Blanca Full-Day Off Road Tour. 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.

    What is included in Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and Bottled water. Not included: Tip. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 19 listed pickup locations in and around Benidorm. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca offered in?

    +

    Is Villajoyosa and Altea: Small Group Jewels of the Costa Blanca wheelchair or stroller accessible?
