This was my second tour of three I have paid for with Viajes Rosa Tours. The first tour was a 9…read moreeuro per person ticket to Alicante and the tour guide was friendly and very informative about the area driving from La Marina to Alicante. She had a lot of history and local stories to share. I don't remember her name because it was several days ago. I think it was Kathy. She is the reason I'm giving this company 2 stars.
The second tour was drastically different. Nothing but a very expensive bus ticket. The tour guide (I think her name was Wendy) didn't tell us much about anything. I arrived at the pick up location at 8:50am and didn't arrive in Cartagena until 11:30am. Once in Cartagena we were told to go to the tourist booth in order to find activities to do for the day. Little to none information was given about the area. We were left on our own to research the area. We were picked up at 5:00 for the trip home, only to hear that our tour guide was leaving the bus early because she lived in the area and that the bus driver (Emilio) would get us home. Before her exit I asked her a question about my arrival back and she snapped at me like I was a complete idiot. I would highly recommend anyone going to Cartagena from Guardamar or La Marina, to simply go to the Guardamar bus terminal and purchase a ticket. It's around 2 euros and you get just as much information about the area from the locals on the bus.
