4.00The tour was quite interesting. We loved the market, which was amazing, and enjoyed the views from the castle (fortress). The walk through the other parts of Alicante were an eye opener. The tapas tasting was very disappointing.
Great short tour of Alicante

5.00A great experience with Isaac who told us lots of information about Alicante and its history! We loved every part of it and visited places we have never been to before. The tapas and drinks were an added bonus!
This tour was a bit...

3.00This tour was a bit misleading. It’s definitely NOT “a wander” - it’s a significant amount of walking, thankfully all downhill, but quite steep and a bit slippery at times. Also not much shade so it’s bit uncomfortable. The “nibbles” you get in the market are minimal. The tapas at the end is one small item and a drink. I enjoyed seeing the Santa Cruz neighborhood, but do wish i knew what i had signed up for! I might have dressed or prepared differently for example!
Nice views but lots of steps downhill

4.00The tour did not mention anything about the amount of walking from the top of the fort to the city center and the amount of steps involved. Two members of our party had a tough time. The tour should have been more descriptive of the activities rather than just 'city tour, wine tasting and tapas.' The fort was nice but was never listed as a stop. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Few days in Alacañte!

4.00Our guide was well versed and we enjoyed her explanations during the tour. Few things to consider, this is about 85% historic tour with a good amount of walking and steps and it ends with 1 tapa and 1 glass of wine/beer. If you are looking for a tapas tour, don’t take this one. If you want a historic tour with a drink at the end. Enjoy!
