It’s a lot of fun! Very informative, lots of interesting facts and details. I would thoroughly recommend this - our group was 10 strong, including a baby, who really enjoyed the watermelon!
A really well run tour within the market in Alicante. We had a good group of people and had a lot of fun
Our guide was Fran who was excellent. We learnt a lot about Spanish food and drink, and were given a wonderful selection of these to try. Fantastic value for money, would highly recommend.
Excellent value for money our guide Fran was very entertaining and knowledgeable, we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience
An excellent tour with some fabulous food and wine. Fran our guide was knowledgable, friendly and had excellent knowledge of food and drink of the area. The market is a fabulous setting. We purchased some of our new found treats! Great value and a lovely way to spend a couple of hours.
We spent 2 hours with Nadia and it was an excellent experience. The tapas and drinks were tasty, varied and generou. We learned about Spanish food and drink as well as some if the stall holders in the market. There is the opportunity to buy some of the things we were tasting but definitely no hard sell. Our group came from different countries and this added to the positive experience. Highly recommended!
