Paola was an amazing tour guide. She was so passionate about her city and shared a lot of fascinating historical facts with us. The tapas tasting in the market was a blast, as was the visit to a red for additional tapas and wine.

Excellently hosted by Paula, very knowledgeable and friendly. Good pace and detailed history. Evening afternoon slot out of the heat of the day.

It was a very informative trip with a very nice enthusiastic guide. Discovered many places that would otherwise remain hidden. Also great tips for tapas restaurants. Hellas too much wind to visit the castle but that was well compensated.

We had a very enjoyable experience on this tour. Our guide was incredibly enthusiastic and made the walk through the city and up to the castle feel lively and engaging. We already knew that the central market would be closed on Sunday, so that part was expected — and the alternative tapas arranged for us were truly delicious and a great taste of local flavours. The only thing to keep in mind is that the tour can feel a bit long for small children, but for adults it’s a great way to explore Alicante.

Paola was friendly enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The castle as evening sun was setting was stunning. We discovered history we would never have found ourselves. Well worth the 3 hours and all the healthy steps!

Great city tour with Paola with lots of stories and legends! The castle and the old town are worth commenting on to understand the history of this town.
