Discover Alicante & San Juan Beach: The Ultimate Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers

If you are docking at the Port of Alicante and looking for the most comfortable, scenic, and time-efficient way to explore the city, we have the perfect plan for you. At The Best Day Tours, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our newest service: the Grand Panoramic Tour: Alicante and San Juan Beach.

Our inaugural tours have been a resounding success! Cruise passengers from all over the world are already enjoying the best 360° views of the “City of Light” from the top deck of our signature blue double-decker bus.

The Smartest Choice for Your Day Ashore

We understand that during a cruise scale, time is your most valuable asset. You want to see the landmarks, feel the Mediterranean breeze, and snap the perfect photos without the stress of public transport or long walks under the sun.

Our Grand Panoramic Tour is specifically tailored for English-speaking visitors who want a premium “highlights” experience with zero hassle.

Why join us at the pier?

• Live English Commentary: Forget about boring pre-recorded recordings. Our professional guides provide live commentary in English, bringing Alicante’s history and secrets to life.
• Direct Sales at the Bus: No pre-booking or online vouchers required. Simply walk off your ship and buy your ticket directly from our staff at the bus stop. Look for the bright blue “City Tour” double-decker!
• The Route to San Juan Beach: While most walking tours stay in the crowded city center, we take you along the stunning coastal road to the world-famous San Juan Beach, known for its 7km of golden sands.

A 90-Minute Journey of Pure Magic

The tour lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, making it the ideal duration to fit perfectly between your ship’s arrival and a local lunch or shopping session.

1. The Marina & Explanada: We start at the Ocean Race Roundabout, right by the water, passing the iconic marble-tiled Explanada promenade.
2. Santa Bárbara Castle Views: Capture the most impressive angles of the medieval fortress that dominates the city skyline.
3. Cabo de las Huertas Scenic Route: We drive through the most exclusive coastal area, passing hidden turquoise coves.
4. Photo Stop at San Juan Beach: We include a 5-minute photo stop at the beachfront so you can feel the sand and take that “must-have” holiday photo.

Traveler Tip: From our open-top deck, you’ll get the clearest view of the “Face of the Moor” (the natural rock face on the castle cliff) without having to hike a single step!

Guaranteed Peace of Mind

At The Best Day Tours, we are experts in cruise tourism. Our priority is making your visit as smooth as possible.

• Punctual Return: We guarantee you will be back at the port area with plenty of time before your ship departs.
• Value for Money: Only 20€ per person for a complete, guided panoramic experience.
