Marco Polo Expediciones, Benidorm, Costa Blanca

Deze week de Benidorm fietstocht gedaan. Een zeer leuke ervaring o.l.v. onze gids Dennis. Dennis wist ons op leuke en geestige wijze te informeren. Buiten Benidorm werden de plaatjes Albir, Athea en het natuurpark bezocht. Tijdens onze route kregen wij uitleg en weetjes over de sinasappel plantages en diverse bomen en vruchten die in deze streek bloeien. Kortom, deze fietstour is een MUST TO DO! Tip: maak gebruik van een E- bike, je zult hier veel gemak van hebben. P.S. Enkele dagen later kwamen wij Dennis met een nieuwe groep in Villajoyosa tegen. Hij maakte even vrij om zijn groep te laten rusten en ons de hand te drukken. Wederom werden wij van tips en weetjes voorzien. Kortom, een TOP gids!

Our holiday was 10x better because of Marco Polo! We hired the electric bikes and managed to travel all over Benidorm and they was so fun and easy to use! The jeep safari drive with Dennis was fantastic! Dennis is a fantastic host and gave us an amazing tour of the water falls, views was incredible and plenty of time to relax and explore the towns! The team at Marco Polo also we’re so friendly and helpful and 100% reliable!! Would 100% recommend!

Conocíamos el servicio de alquiler de bicicletas de otros años, que fue muy bueno. Ahora otra vez hemos alquilado 3 bicis (2 de paseo y 1 mbk) para ir a Altea y el faro del Albir, con muy buen precio, productos y servicio. Pero además, los trabajadores se portaron muy bien y nos ayudaron cuando tuvimos un percance con nuestro hijo. Muchas gracias. Volveremos.

Just about to fly home after a Christmas week of walking in the mountains with Dennis. Challenging walks, beautiful scenery and a fabulous guide. Dennis is very knowledgeable about the area, great personality, pushed us out of our comfort zone (sorry for the crying Dennis!) but was extremely supportive with a great sense of humour. If you want to see the countryside, and fewer people in it, then Dennis and Marco Polo are who you need. Just make sure they are aware of your limitations beforehand. All in all some great walks and great memories . Thank you. Karen Francis.

We booked a half-day during October half-term and went as a family with two girls aged 3 and 6 who also absolutely loved it. Our driver and guide was very knowledgable and helped to make this a really memorable experience. We traveled to the mountains and spent 1-hour in the picturesque town of Guadalest. Our driver even took us to the highest point just above Terra Mitica for some stunning photos and view of Benidorm. Would highly recommend, a fantastic excursion. Just remember if traveling in October, or outside of summer, then pack some warm clothes, as you can imagine it gets breezy!

while on our holiday to benidorm, we booked this excursion 4x4 safari and wow what can I say, I thought it would be good but I didn't realise just how good it was AMAZING - I've non stopped talked about it and was definitely the highlight to the holiday. our driver was Brilliant and made every bit fun and all the staff in the other jeeps were also great and so lovley. Thank you for showing us the amazing views across mountains and the rest. we will be back soon! ☺️

We were a mixed group of me (the lazy one who needed a moped) and three mates who were sort of serious cyclists. So I had a 125cc moped. It was in good condition with good tyres and brakes but it had fallen over once or twice (check for scuff marks just in case). It was great for what I needed and got me up some steep hills with only basic riding skills needed. My mates hired 3 very good road bikes with loads of gears (switches on both handlebars) I had a good quality helmet and the cycle lads each had a standard cycle helmet included. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend for bikes or mopeds.

Zeer leuke fietsrit met gids. Berg op en af van Benidorm naar Altea. Zeer leuke weetjes over de cultuur, fauna en flora meegekregen. Door de steile hellingen is een elektrische fiets aan te raden voor de niet geoefende fietser. Onderweg kans om foto's te maken . Door deze fietstocht alleen maar zin gekregen om meer te fietsen rond Benidorm. 's Anderendaags opnieuw een fiets gehuurd bij Marco Polo en er zelf op uit getrokken. Fietsen zijn in goede staat, helm en slot meegekregen. Goede info over gebruik elektrische fiets voor vertrek.

My self, my daughter and 13yr old grandson went on the safari, up the mountains to the waterfalls, reservoir and Guadalest. My grandson was especially looking forward to it but, unfortunately, he is autistic and he found the drive quite frightening, especially as he was originally sitting in the front passenger seat. I have to say that there was a little boy of about 6 in the back and he thoroughly enjoyed it! A lady in the middle seat very kindly swapped with my grandson and, with playing games on his phone to distract him, he began to relax and enjoy it. What helped was that the drivers, all of them, were brilliant with him and kept checking and chatting to him at every stop. Our driver, who I apologise to as I cannot remember his name, kept checking him and letting him know if we were going off road, if it would be bumpy, a bit steep etc, and this really made a difference. He also kept stopping to show us plants and scenery and give information on where we were. He was so knowledgable and really took an interest in us. The whole safari was brilliant. The waterfalls were beautiful but freezing cold! Bring swim shoes if you have them. The reservoir was the most brilliant blue I had ever seen and the villages were fantastic to walk around. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. The whole thing is run very professionally and the people are so friendly and thoughtful. It was definitely the highlight of our holiday.

I cannot express how much of a fantastic day out I had with my two children 13yrs and 9yrs. We were collected from the hotel by a very charming tour guide/driver, Dennis, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took great care to include all the occupants on the tour and made adults and children extremely welcome. He made the mountain trek very enjoyable and drove at the appropriate speed and ensure everyone in his care had their seatbelts on and on some parts of the trek, allowed us to stand up within the 4x4. The trek also included an awesome natural waterfall and a stop at one of the most beautiful dams and lake I have ever seen, with a gorgeous blue lagoon glow. We also visited a small town at the top of a huge mountain and had a steep trek down a rocky track whereby Dennis joked of losing his brakes! Totally awesome day with a huge thanks to Dennis. We also bought a souvenir photo of the day at the waterfall which we accidentally forgot in the 4x4, but Dennis was so diligent that he found it and returned it to us within moments of us reporting it to Marco Polo HQ. Hope to visit you all again!!!

Abbiamo partecipato ad una escursione in fuoristrada alle sorgenti del fiume Algarve. Guide eccezionali. Gentili capaci allegre. La giornata è volata fra percorsi accidentati soste piacevolissime e bagni nella sorgente paragonabile, per noi italiani, al fiume Alcantara o ai laghetti di Cavagrande. Chi è a Benidorm non puo non approfittare di questa opportunità, non economica, ma bellissima ed indimenticabile. Un saluto speciale a Farid.

Got picked up spot on time, had a unbelievable driver called Alex who throughout the day kept us on our toes with his driving skills, dodging bamboo canes to over the edge experiences on shear mountain drops. I can honestly say that the wife, two children (10 & 12) and myself thoroughly enjoyed the day out with Marco Polo excursions. Best regards Andy

Just back from this jeep safari trip and wow what a day! We were picked up at our hotel at 9.15 by a lovely guy called Alex who was our driver for the day. After a few more pick ups we drove into the countryside and met up with some other groups and then we got going. The day consisted of driving up into the hills and countryside in and around Benidorn, using small rough tracks and roads with stops here and there for viewing and photo opportunities. We visited the Algar falls where we had a short while to enjoy a refreshing swim and also a chance for a drink at a cafe with its own pool where you could also swim and get changed into dry clothes. Off we went again via a spectacular reservoir to Guadalest, a village right up in the hills where we had refreshments and lunch, there are shops and bars and a spectacular viewing point if you take a short walk. Then we went off roading again to another fantastic viewing point before returning back to base. The guys running the show were fantastic, very informative and made you feel really part of the group. So if you want a different day out and a great experience the book this, you won't regret it.
