About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Kazzairl00000 contributionsGreat but over pricedOur guide was Miguel and he was absolutely amazing. He could not have been better. the trip was beautiful but unfortunatley I have to say it it over priced. Nowhere did we have to pay in so it was very expensive for car trip. I would rather have paid less for the trip and given Miguel a big tip.Written 25 October 2024
- Kr04180 contributionsBeautiful tour and knowledgeable tour guideThis trip was beautiful. The tour guide was so helpful, interactive and funny. Really made our day. Our needs were catered to at every step. Cannot recommend this tour enough!!!Written 21 October 2024
- olsvancouver0 contributionsOne not typical groupWe had an amazing tour guide, he has a very good sense of humour and we were laughing all the time! Thermal springs are 24c, nice when hot day. Road Is beautiful, and guide driving was a pleasureWritten 3 October 2024
- Anne G0 contributionsGreat mix of people and dips in clear waterThermal bit lacking but still lovely to swim in the lagoon-needed a warm jumper afterwards!Waterfall was beautiful -and equally cold!Lunch lovely and other stops interesting-our guide Morgan was great fun and took some lovely photosWritten 26 September 2024
- christinebK169RS0 contributionsAmazing experience with the best tour guideSuch a fun time with Miguel, the best Tour guide around! The day was a little cold to start and there was potential for rain on the forecast, but it held off. This was perfect because the spots weren’t over crowded with tourists! We were the only group at the first stop, El Salto De La Novia, and Miguel took amazing photos of each individual, couples, and of the group after explaining the history of the location and the region in general. We had time to jump in the water if we wanted. We spent a total of an hour or so here. Our second stop was Fuente de Los baños in Montenajos. Miguel explained the history of the location before we ate food at a little restaurant there first. Miguel gave us recommendations on what to order—I had a delicious Spanish omelet. Some of us enjoyed some sangria or beers as well! The staff there were all very nice. After eating, we had a little under 2 hours to swim and explore the park. Miguel recommended we swim to a couple of caves and to another area under some low trees to get to a spot for some cliff jumping. He provided us with pool noodles to make swimming easier and more relaxing. The water was crystal clear and a lot warmer than the first location. We took such beautiful photos on one of the group members’ phone who brought a waterproof case. Miguel used a drone to take pictures of us while in different locations in the water—so cool! There was a bathroom and changing room there to use after swimming before moving on to our next locations for pictures. A spot overlooking the river, a bridge over looking a reservoir, and finally a spot along the dam where water shot out at a rate of 6000 liters/sec!!! At all spots, we took beautiful pictures. Miguel made sure to take the coolest videos of us and his drone was able to capture amazing aerial photos. In between the spots, we spent about 2 hours total round trip driving. Miguel was super personable with the group, played good music, and struck up conversation to the point where all of us at the end were very friendly with each other and shared many laughs. The locations were obviously beautiful, but the experience wouldn’t have been the same without such a charismatic and friendly guide like Miguel!! One of my favorite days of my entire trip to Spain.Written 21 September 2024
- Safari3326910 contributionsAmazing!I cannot recommend this tour enough! Miguel was the highlight of our day – he has such a great personality and kept us laughing throughout. He provided insightful information at every stop and turned out to be an amazing photographer too. Overall, it's a 10/10 experience for us!Written 20 September 2024

- darar6200 contributionsToo long & dragged out. Not recommendedVery disappointed with this trip. Thermal Springs photo is not what the springs look like..very deceiving. It’s very dirty and it’s overcrowded with people. Our tour guide gave no information about the thermal springs or anything else…we were left at the waterfall for an hour and a half and then the thermal springs for two and a half hours. It was way too long. Overpriced for what you get. Would not recommend this tour at all.Written 12 August 2024
- Q4879IUshannons0 contributionsGreat guide, beautiful experienceMiguel may be the best guide for so many reasons. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable while being incredibly accommodating. His comedic approach to ensuring everyone is included allows all to maximize their time at a truly beautiful place. We had a tremendous time and would highly recommend this excursion and Miguel specifically....thanks again Miguel!Written 9 August 2024

You must love history and/or Games of Thrones. Seriously, I’m not fond of history let alone these films, but I loved this visit. We were a small group, 6 visitors plus the driver guide who spoke Spanish and English. The road is very nice to get there. Given the small group, it’s easier to ask questions about what you see along the way.
Traveling to Peniscola, walking through the village and up to the castle is a treat for the eyes and head. By the sea, it is really beautiful.
The visit of the castle is interesting. Even if history is not my cup of tea, I learned a lot there. It explains a lot about the Spanish wars with other peoples and why we see many places with Arab or other tendencies. The guide tells us about the series of films, supporting images.
The group went to dinner together on a terrace where we were served excellent dishes, fish and seafood, all as aesthetic as delicious.
The only negative point of this visit was an American who hated Canadians in general, and Quebecers in particular.
A visit I recommend.

Visiting Peñíscola was an unforgettable experience, as it’s one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The large castle complex offers plenty to explore, and the charming white buildings with blue windows below the castle reminded me of the Greek islands. The 360-degree panoramic views of the sea and the city are absolutely stunning. This is undoubtedly the most underrated town I've ever visited. However, note that most information boards are in Spanish and Catalan only, as they primarily see Spanish national tourists. Additionally, the steep terrain makes it unsuitable for those with mobility issues. While there are some Game of Thrones filming locations, the tour isn’t overly focused on them like Dubrovnik tours. Our guide, Miguel, was excellent, providing rich historical context beyond just the show's filming spots. Overall, this tour and town are a must-visit and come highly recommended!

Overall, great tour! Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The scenery is beautiful. Admission to the castle was included and I would recommend taking the time to explore all the amazing views from each corner. Picturesque cobble stone streets and great places to shop. Recommended for families, couples, and friends. May want to carefully consider if you have walking issues. There is a bit of unevenness along the journey! However, the guides were VERY supportive and patient!

We were under the impression that a lot more of the game of thrones was filmed there. In fact only 4 days were filmed there and only a few scenes. There was a nice visit to the rest of the castle and lunch on your own with very large portions. Our guide was very accommodating and willing to answer any questions.

It was filmed in many countries and many different locations, in some they spent more time and in others less, here they were 3 weeks and they filmed 5 days as a whole, but that is up to the production company, we are not to blame.

I highly recommend this tour. Transport to Peniscola was comfortable and air conditioned. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny and was happy to answer questions along the way. Visiting the areas where scenes from Game of Thrones was filmed was amazing. Lunch was at a restaurant overlooking the sea and was fabulous. The visit to the castle was superb, with a lot of history and really stunning views. We had an hour to wander through the old town , admiring the buildings and beautiful shops.
A brilliant day!

The driver was very nice; however. the car was way too compact for 5 strangers! I wanted to cancel as soon as I saw it and I should have. The drive is 1.5 hours each way and I unfortunately had the middle back seat.
There was a language barrier and not much history relayed. The castle was impressive and an audio tour was downloaded on our phones.
We had a drink in the town but didn’t have a chance for anything else. For me it was not worth the drive and cramped situation.

I'm sorry about the car, the car is for 5 seats but maybe for the US they are small cars. If I see that it gives more problems then I will try to use another vehicle.
The audio guides in Spain are downloaded on the mobile, this is due to the pandemic and it is no longer carried on a device that they leave you, now everything is on the mobile.

I really recommend this tour and the guide, he was amazing and so knowledgeable about the history. It was very private only me and my family. We walked the entire little village then went inside the castle with a guided tour. The views are amazing you feel like you are in another place.
