Loved the private tour! - We took the VIP tour and had our own guide Maria. It meant we could take our time & ask lots of questions. Maria had keys to access behind the scenes areas and we learnt so much about the history, traditions & families involved in bull fighting. Also the folklore behind the Alicante name! If you like the horse racing world , you’ll enjoy learning about the various Spanish houses who manage the eco system environment & raise prize bulls. Lots of tales of ancient traditions & superstition. The historic flamboyant costumes are all on display in the museum alongside posters/photos/paintings show casing the legendary matadors. So much to see, the surgical theatre, the altar the contestants pray at, the beautiful original tiles throughout, private boxes, videos of actual fights & VR headsets for fly by view of the Bullring. And at the end of the tour don’t miss the opportunity to practice with the same capes the matadors use - or simply stand in the centre of the auditorium & quote Maximus! Fantastic, we loved it!

Great experience - We booked a private tour for a party of 4 which was €5 per person extra and I would highly recommend doing this. Veronica our tour guide was great, and answered all of our questions and provided us with great insight of the history of bullfighting and the bullring in Alicante. As part of the private tour you get to go to places that are restricted and not freely available with the audio tour.

One of the things you must do when you visit Alicante - Very kind guide told us a lot about the life in and behind the arena. You are the torreador for a moment when you are in the middle of the arena..... :-)
