Guided tour of Vinalopó Castles and Wine Tasting
Description
Did you know that in the ancient Middle Ages Alicante was the border of the two most important kingdoms in the world? Aragon! Castile! Valencia! Murcia! In Alicante they all merge and leave castles and churches testimony of their power. But, why in Alicante? Alicante wine was present in all the negotiations and therefore is the only witness who can answer us. On this tour we will speak with him directly. * Additional information Departure from the center of Alicante (variable time depending on the departure point). Including guided service, transportation, tickets to visit the castle, sanctuary, wineries and wine tasting.

Individual couple visit with pickup and drop-off at the hotel, and also in excellent French. Everything was very interesting. Ivan, the guide and driver, knows his subject perfectly and provides plenty of explanations. We are very satisfied with the service
merci beacoup un gran plaisir
Avoid! We booked this trip on Tripadvisor, travelled to Alicante, paid for 2 night’s accommodation just to go on this tour and it was cancelled on the morning of the tour! If a tour operator cannot provide a tour on a specific date it should not be advertised for sale!!! Do not give your money to this tour operator.
One of the best tour guides we have used. Excellent tour with very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We saw a lot and not only had a wine tasting but a behind the scenes tour of the facilities. I would highly recommend this tour with Ivan.
Thanks a lot
Easy access with elevator, free for 65+ Beautiful views all around, here and there embellished with statues in metal of fighters, birds etc... Wonderful descent for those who can march well back to town.
Ivon our tour guide was very informative and helpful. We enjoyed our time at the winery. The church was closed so we couldn’t see inside
It's very nice. We were lucky enough to hear the stone organ. It's a real wonder. The views are spectacular and you can have a fresh little beer next door. I recommend it a thousand times
Ivan was an amazing guide and great to work with. The santuario was spectacular and the bodega was well worth the visit. I'm so glad we had this experience
Great tour. It has a good balance of stops for sightseeing. The tour guide was very knowledgable and adaptable to the individual tourist. All of the castles are worth seeing and the wine tasting was lots of fun - they have a nice shop at the winery so it's a good place to get some souvenirs.
Unfortunately our private car didn’t show up. We waited 45 mins. We made numerous calls to iVantours and no answer. The team at Viator. We’re wonderful and did E they could to try and help us. I would definitely use Viator again but will not book an Ivan tours excursion. We still have not heard from iVantours not received an explanation as to why our driver didn’t come
sorry I apologize i was on holidays and made a mistake closing the reservations
Ivan was very knowledgeable and provided good commentary on the tour. Made extra stops for photo ops. Recommend lunch stop for this tour as it was mid day.
