    Well organized, plenty of time to enjoy the offerings at each stall, and informative. Our tour guide was Isaac who was very friendly, well informed, and made sure each guest had opportunities to ask questions.

    I don't normally book organised packages like this and I'm so glad I did this time. So worth it having someone local and knowledgeable to walk and talk you through a place, plus bring you to great stalls for samples of all the produce. Nadia our guide was amazing. A lovely human being, friendly, well informed, funny and very engaging. She was great company and the whole family loved her!

    Absolutely brilliant tour, the market is an amazing way to spend an afternoon, but having someone organise food in all the best spots was even better. We learnt a lot about the food culture in Alicante and came away with some bargains to boot!
