Great Experience
Silvina was great! We walked around town trying different food and dishes we would never have tried otherwise. Turns out I love olives now. Excellent tapas, drinks, and got to learn a lot about the culture. She helped me with some questions and guidance outside the tour. I recommend the tour

Great wine and food tour which will also give you an amazing insight into historical and present day Alicante.
Silvina was our host and she was amazing! She was friendly, interesting and engaging. We learned lots about the history of Alicante and also what it is like to live in present day Alicante. We visited the food market which was incredible and we enjoyed the most authentic food and delicious wines. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it.
