Discovery - It's very nice. We were lucky enough to hear the stone organ. It's a real wonder. The views are spectacular and you can have a fresh little beer next door. I recommend it a thousand times

Santuario de Maria Magdalena - Ivan was an amazing guide and great to work with. The santuario was spectacular and the bodega was well worth the visit. I'm so glad we had this experience

Great tour. It has a good... - Great tour. It has a good balance of stops for sightseeing. The tour guide was very knowledgable and adaptable to the individual tourist. All of the castles are worth seeing and the wine tasting was lots of fun - they have a nice shop at the winery so it's a good place to get some souvenirs.

Fantastic - Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. I took my 80 yo mother (she is very mobile) and she had a brilliant time. The guide was so informative and interesting and looked after us so well.

Above and beyond the rest - My mom needs help but wanted to go on this tour and I was unable to go with her. The guide drove far to pick her up, took her mobility scooter, and helped her all along the tour. Mom loved the sights and had a wonderful time! I highly recommend the tour and guide

Excellent tour of Alicante during a short stop - Ivan was very knowledgeable and provided good commentary on the tour. Made extra stops for photo ops. Recommend lunch stop for this tour as it was mid day.

No show - Unfortunately our private car didn’t show up. We waited 45 mins. We made numerous calls to iVantours and no answer. The team at Viator. We’re wonderful and did E they could to try and help us. I would definitely use Viator again but will not book an Ivan tours excursion. We still have not heard from iVantours not received an explanation as to why our driver didn’t come
