    The actual event was a fun time. Although, I was a bit let down by the overall experience. The 'parties' were a total bust so it seems like the whole cost was for organization of the lodging and buses to the event. I've traveled with other tour groups that seemed to have a much greater interest in the tour participants, especially those traveling solo. I found several female travelers traveling solo that bluntly asked if they could follow me since they didn't know anyone else and were headed to a crowd of 20,000+. No tips or advice for navigating in the event or how to get back to the busses. And answers given to specific questions asked in the briefing were not what happened the day of. I also heard one participant mention people taking things that didn't below to them from below the buss but the PP staff brushed it off and walked off. Even sending the follow up email asking for reviews, was sent over 2 weeks after the event took place so it maybe these aren't full time jobs for the staff at PP? But if you're looking for a company that has transportation and lodging coordinated, this would be a fit for you.

    I really enjoyed La Tomatina and thought that PP Travel did a good job overall and would recommend. The hotel was nice--located right near the arts & sciences museums with their impressive modern architecture, and a short cab ride to the beach in one direction and to the historic center of town in another direction. The overall tomatina experience was intense, but fun! I know I'm not the typical tomatina participant since I'm a bit older. (Most participants seemed to be in their 20s and 30s, but there were enough middle-aged people at the festival that I didn't feel out of place.) But here are some suggestions for what I think could be done better, and also tips for anyone going in subsequent years. One big disappointment I have is that I don't have any photos to show for it. The guides strongly discouraged us from taking our phones, so my sister and I followed their advice. We were told that we COULD buy phone cases, but it wasn't recommended. In retrospect, I wish I had brought my camera and purchased a plastic case from any one of the countless vendors trying to sell them. Although we were pelted hard with a lot of tomatoes where we were, I think with a plastic phone case and the phone tucked under my shirt during the tomato-throwing, it probably would've been fine. Sure, there was a chance it could've taken a direct hit with an aggressively thrown tomato (of which there were many), but probably not. But if we really didn't want to risk damaging our phones, ideally, one of the PP travel guides could've stayed out of the fray and been the designated photographer, who could post the images to a photo-sharing site to be downloaded later. If that person had stood (maybe with a PP flag?) at a designated location, he/she could've captured the tour-goers in their epic tomato-covered glory. :-) So I hope that's something PP Travel would consider for next year's event. It also might've been nice to have had some kind of crude map of the town and where the activities would take place. Even though a paper map would be useless after everyone was soaked in water and tomatoes and water again, it could've been helpful before--I would've liked to have checked out the main town square where the ham-pole was, but I didn't have an idea where to find it. A map printed on cloth/kerchief could've been useful throughout the day and could've also made a nice souvenier (just a suggestion). Trying to find our way back from Tomato Street to the bus was difficult until some helpful Canadians told us to follow a blue line spray painted in the street--it's possible our guides told us that and we missed it, but that definitely would've been good information to know. Another thing I would've liked to have known was that there was a baggage check right by the entrance. If we had known that, we would've held onto our things for longer and then checked them in closer to tomato-throwing time instead of having them locked on the bus the whole time. My sister has type-1 diabetes, so it was stressful to be away from her testing kit/insulin for so long. It would've been nicer to have known there was a different option. The area near where the buses were parked and near the bag-check area seemed to have the same sangria/beer/paella/sandwich options as what was available down at the official pre-party area, so I wouldn't have felt like I was missing out if we hadn't gone down to that. One other suggestion I would have would be to consider cutting down on the amount of time we were in Bunol. Three hours is a long time to wait in the sun before the event--it might've been nicer to have had at least a half-hour more sleep that morning. And I think 90% of our bus was full at least a half-hour before we were scheduled to leave--at that point most people were tired and smelly and just wanted to get home, shower the regurtitated-looking and smelling tomatoes out of our hair and take a siesta. I think the designated time to return to the bus/take off could've been set a little earlier without taking away from everyone's experience. I hope my suggestions are helpful. Again, (despite my long-winded comments above) I think PP travel and their guides overall did a great job and I had a lot of fun!

    The whole experience was very organised and extremely fun! Only advise if you are going to ride out the fight near the ham pole, either get past it or be on the side of the street with the pole. I was on the other side of the street and when the trucks were coming we were squashed against the wall six people deep.

    Thanks for your comments Clare. Great to hear you enjoyed your time in Valencia and at La Tomatina. It sure is busy down round the pole where the ham is. You are correct that it can be a little less busy at the far ends of the street.

    I had so much fun. I really felt like I got a top notch package. We got to go to Umbraccle in the City of Sciences. The venue was probably the most beautiful I've ever seen. Then LA Tomatina was a smooth sailing. Then the after party was incredible. I had so much fun splashing in the pool and dancing to great djs. The drinks were good, decently priced and served quickly. I'm so glad I booked this tour. Also, having a great shower after La Tomatina really made a difference for me.
