Great 😊 - Great tour guide, very knowledgeable and informative. The tour was lively and fast moving would highly recommend. If anyone has mobility concerns I would be cautious due to the number of steps and steepness coming down from the castle. I would highly recommend this tour , the tapa and complimentary beverages at the end were most enjoyable.

Beautiful Tour, Great Food - This was a great experience with a very fair price. We tasted the very best ham we have had in Spain at the Alicante market. We enjoyed the tour guide's knowledge as we toured the Santa Barbara Castle and the Santa Cruz neighborhood was adorable. Paella and free flowing wine at the end topped off this very affordable experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing local history and food tour with a local guide - We had an incredible tour with Francisco. Starting off with the history of central market before some tasty nibbles and a look around. Then we got a taxi (included in the cost) to the castle where there were some wonderful views of the city. Francisco told us about the surrounding areas and gave great recommendations for day trips. We then walked down from the castle and into a gorgeous historic neighbourhood before ending up in a tapas bar for a drink and something to eat. The tour was great value for money, included 3 things on our Alicante bucket list and our guide was wonderful. Really good value for money and the highlight of our 3 day trip. Would highly recommend to others.

Francisco best guide - highly recommended tour! Francisco was very interesting, areas of interest very nice, speed of visit was not too much but enough. we tasted the best ham ever, had a taxi included to get up to the fortress, and finished the tour in a local place where we enjoyed paella and drink. We were 8 of us and for everyone this was our best tour out of 5 other tours taken in our trip.
