Great Alicante tour!! - Just the right combination of city walking tour and visit to top of mountain. Our guide, Flor, made the excursion fantastic with all her knowledge and positive attitude, while keeping it moving and not over explaining things. She was so much fun and good energy!! Just know that you should be ready to walk around town and slight hills/steps so pick something else if stamina is low.

Best Ever! - I write a lot of reviews because I want honest reviews when I'm looking for tours and such. Today's tour was the highlight of my touring the world. I've been on tours around the world this tour (because of the tour guide Maria Florence aka Flo). My wife worked with many foreign language teachers and Flo's English was exceptional. She also understood that some folks couldn't keep up so the pace and stops made it easy for them . The tour itself was very enjoyable and I highly recommend it if you want to learn about Alicante. Wish I was 20 years younger I'd come for a stay of two weeks or more.

Flor + Alicante = GREAT time! - Our tour with Flor was fantastic and incredibly convenient. She was right outside the port waiting for us with her sign, which made meeting up very easy. Even before we arrived, she had proactively connected with us via WhatsApp so we could communicate about a delay with our ship. Because of that, we always knew exactly what was happening and there were no issues at all. One thing I especially appreciated was that she provided earpieces for everyone. That meant you could clearly hear her explanations no matter where you were in the group—you didn’t have to be standing right next to her to catch everything she was saying. Flor was incredibly knowledgeable about Alicante and clearly very proud of her city. As a local, she brought the history and culture to life for us in a really engaging way. Her English was excellent, and she was very attentive to everyone in the group and flexible when people had questions or needs. Overall, a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend Flor if you’re looking for a great way to explore Alicante.
