Review of the Peñíscola day trip from Valencia, with Game of Thrones locations, the Templar castle, lunch, free time, and practical tips.
“Our guide Tony was very nice and knowledgeable. He showed us the filming locations from Game of Thrones in Peñíscola, shared videos with us, took us to lunch, and then guided us through the castle. The castle tour itself was interesting, although it was very windy that day and unfortunately the garden was closed. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but I feel the tour could be better organized. For example, it might make more sense to visit the castle first and have lunch afterward. That way, guests who finish lunch earlier could enjoy some free time instead of everyone waiting together before going to the castle and then having limited…”

Review of the Peñíscola day tour from Valencia, with castle history, sea views, guided walks, free time, and practical booking advice.
“Marcela was a great tour guide and we really enjoyed the balance of a guided tour and free time. Peniscola was a very cute beach town - and it was the perfect time of year to visit before it was overrun with tourists. It has a ton of restaurants and small shops. It was quite hilly but it was beautiful. While the castle was closed, we took a short boat ride and saw the castle and coast from the water.”

Climb Ponoig near Benidorm on a 230-metre K4 via ferrata, then abseil 25 and 35 metres with Costa Blanca views.
“I was very happy that I could join this trip. I had good contact with Alicante Adventures before the booking about the availablity and how to get there. It was my first via ferrata and liked it very much. We had quite a high pace, but not to high and there where made a lot of pictures. Only small downside for me was that the guide only spoke Spanish and I am not. Listening en watching carefully helped me understand the important things and luckely one of the other particpants did spoke english. Really recommend to so this!”
