8.Valencia Day Trip with Swimming and Hiking in Montanejos

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 14 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $57

Leave Valencia at 10 a.m. for Montanejos, where you get two hours at the 25°C Fuentes de Baños springs and an optional three-hour hike beside the Mijares River. Veronika has led some departures with excellent organization. Bring water, lunch, and water shoes for the rocky pools.

“Veronika was hands down the most organised tour leader we’ve ever had and it made life so much easier. Pre tour she sent out a confirmation and also set up a voluntary WA group. She was friendly, professional and responsive. A credit to your company. Also a nod to the driver who wrangled those mountainous turns and some narrow town lanes with top gear level driving skills (we missed her name but thank her also). The river was busy (as expected), but full of happy families and such a place of natural beauty and what clear water.”

We shared his car with another couple. we didnt have any information about the cave visit until after he bought the tickets and he told us that you had to do a lot of crawling on your knees in the cave. My husband went in but i couldnt crawl so I waited with the guide for the other 3 people to finish which took about 90 minutes , the driver thought it should be 30 minutes.We arrived in the town about 10.30 and walked a little bit ,looked at the church from the outside then we went to the…”
