Interesting tour, good value for money - Isaac was a great guide - lots of interesting information. The pace of the tour was perfect- we wanted to see a number of the core Alicante sights without spending hours on a tour. And getting a local insight was a bonus.

Great views and excellent tour! - The tour was a great taste of Alicante, literally and figuratively. Our guide Carlito was most definitely a local and shared many interesting stories. Would've liked a slightly longer version that included a few more sights.

Great tour in Alicante - Fran was an excellent guide. We started in the market and learnt about the local produce, tasting some Ibérico ham and Manchego cheese. We then took taxis to the fortress, (included in the price), where there were great views and we learnt about the city’s buildings and history before walking back down the steps (there were many but managable), towards the old part of town. The tour came to an end with some tapas and sangria/beer or soft drink. A very enjoyable tour, with a knowledgable and friendly guide. Highly recommended. Gracias!

Castle then lots steps - Good tour and informative about the history of Alicante. Quick tour of the market. Cab ride to the castle (up on top of a BIG hill). Then a 2 hour walk down the hill to old town. Finishing with a tapa and beverage in a very cool area. Isaac was our guide For those that don’t like walking downhill or steps ….probably should avoid
