Great experiences - We visited the caves of San José and the Albufera and enjoyed very much. Benito is an excellent Guide. On the first visit there was a mishap with the bus, they resolved it quickly and compensated us for it. Highly recommended.

Unforgettable experience - The tour of the Albufera Natural Park far exceeded my expectations and those of my group. The spectacle of this place is something unique and unforgettable. To enrich this experience even more there was also the Guide Joanna, who with her sympathy and culture accompanied us during this journey.

Beautiful sunset over the water - This was a good trip. Our tour guide was Ferran and he delivered a bilingual tour in Spanish and English with ease, and was friendly and knowledgeable. We did the evening tour, which I would recommend as it finished with a beautiful sunset over the lake at Albufera with lots of ibis flying overhead.

I don’t think this trip is Worth it - Not much at all, I expected the national park to be much more than what it is, it’s definitely not worth the money.
