Brilliant way to spend a couple of hours in Alicante! - I loved the market tour. Delicious mix of tasters & wines, along with detailed information on what we were eating/drinking & why. I loved that we were given an insight to the history of the market and the heartbreaking story behind the stopped clock. The traders themselves were friendly and I feel confident that I can return & find great quality produce.

Typical tastes - Great for a few hours, the guides will make you taste inside the central market, different products. It is also interesting to know the history of the market and see how many producers have been linked to the shop for several generations.

Excellent! - Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The group was split into two smaller groups with a guide for each which made for a more friendly experience. Lots of tastings, felt very good value for money. Our guide Fram was excellent, very enthusiastic and informative.

An excellent way to spend a couple of hours during the day in Alicante - I'm really pleased we found this tour. It is an excellent way to spend a couple of hours during the day in Alicante. Isaak was a great host. He made sure everyone in the group was enjoying the tour and responded positively to everyone's requests. During the tour we got to try various local and regional food and drink from different stalls around the central market. Some of the delicacies are specific to local tastes (crumble cake is an acquired taste). It tour also includes crowd pleasers such as Manchego and Iberico ham. We learned plenty about the making of the products during the tour. Some foods are imaginatively paired with local beer and wine. I think this tour is very good value for money. On a side note - we recommended this tour to a couple staying at our hotel who have access needs. They went on the tour and reported back that there was on issues around inclusion and access.

Great way to sample local cuisine - Spent a great 2 hours at Alicante market with our tour guide Isaac who introduced our small group to a number of locally produced food and drinks Isaac was knowledgeable and passionate about the produce and knew all the market stalls owners Was also a good tour for our 11 year old who was offered non alcoholic drinks and some sweets if he didnt like the food samples. Great tour, would recommend
