Perfect tour! Parco was our guide. English was our perfect. Great stories, good pace of tour, took photos of us. Good food stops, but only 2 places for tapas. Had recommendations for other things in the city. Highly enjoyable!!
Great tour to get to know Alicante! Enjoyed all the stories, histories and views. Ramon was very engaging.
Our leader of the Alicante walking tour with tapas and drink (wine, beer or soft drink was called Francis (Fran for short) and he was excellent. He was very informative and we saw areas that we would never have found on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk and all the information Fran (male) gave us regarding the history of the area etc. We went up to the fortress (castle) by Taxi to visit inside and the views all around from the fortress were excellent. Very very good walking tour and brief Tapas and drink at the end was very enjoyable.
Really interesting tour and totally worth the price. Our guide Fran was very informative and took us to the food market where we had some samples of ham and cheese. Then a short taxi drive up to the Santa Barbara castle with amazing views and then a walk downhill to the old town and a lovely tapas and sangria included. Such a nice morning and very relaxing. Thank you! Highly recommended.
We had a great time with Paco. He shared a lot of interesting stories about Alicantes history, food, nature and sights. We also enjoyed the small snacks at the market. A cold drink in the shade was a nice way to end the tour.
Nadia was very informative and sociable. Told a lot and seen a lot. Highly recommended!
I have always wanted to visit Alicante old town but despite using the airport for 15 years have never visited the town itself. So I booked this tour. Good communication about the meeting point at the market and on the dot the 2 guides arrived the group was 14 strong so we split into 2 and I went with Francisco. A good tour around the market and castle before back down the hill into the old town a some tapas. Very informative and great value.
We had a great tour with Nadia who was very knowledgeable about Alicante. We started at the Central Market where we had a short tasting at one of the meat and cheese stalls. Then a taxi up to the Castle where we spent a bit of time enjoying the views and learning about it’s history, before taking a slow walk down through the old historic district called Santa Cruz. We ended with a complimentary drink and snack at a local restaurant. It was an interesting morning and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nadia and this tour.
Nadia was an excellent tour guide, both humorous and very informative. There was a quick visit around the amazing market with cheese and ham tasters, unfortunately our expected tour of the castle didn't happen due to the climb that was left after our transport could only get us half way up!! However Nadia didn't disappoint and guided us through the streets of the old town, past santa cruz, a very well photographed spot and through the streets to the water museum, cathedral and then for a drink and tapas in a small bar. Altogether a wonderful tour with some wonderful stories from Nadia
Our guide Fran was excellent. Friendly and lots of information about the places visited and finished with a choice of tapas and drink. Good value for money and time well spent.
