What are people saying about Alicante

Michael_C, Oct 2026

Alicante Paella Cooking Class with Olivera.

This was a great class and experience. There were 12 of us, all really nice people. Olivera, the instructor, was terrific! Great personality, truly engaging, and she knows how to make the dish. We made 3 different versions of Arroz Alicantino (what they call Paella there), veggie, chicken, shrimp and squid, which we all shared. Outstanding. We highly recommend this experience.

Alicante

FLOR did a fantastic job! Contacted us a week ago to introduce yourself and also sent a picture, and then right before our tour, so we knew who she was. And the tour was outstanding and showed us all around Alicante. She is very friendly and one of the best tour guides around!

Alicante Food and Tapas Tour with a Local Guide

Delicious and fun foodie tour!

We booked the evening tour and met our guide outside the central market at 6pm (guide messaged us day prior to confirm details). There were 4 of us on the tour (us and another couple) and the tour lasted around 2.5 hours. We visited 5 stops (shops and bars) and enjoyed cold cuts, some tapas, Alicante rice, sweet treats, wine and sangria! Our guide Paco (hopefully I’ve remembered his name correctly) was friendly and informative and explained he could arrange alternatives if required for anyone not eating meat or fish. Please note the end point of the tour is different from the start point (end point was just a short walk from the Explanada). We thought the tour was very good value for money and would be pleased to recommend.

Alicante Market and Santa Barbara Castle

A fantastic tour, with an amazing guide in Fran. Very informative, telling you all those little details that you would never know about otherwise. Lovely look around the largest market in Spain with some tasting of local food, followed by a taxi up to Santa Barbara Castle (Fortress), with more great facts and amazing views of the entire area. Tour finishes with some nice tapas and a drink. Can’t recommend it enough, Fran is a brilliant tour guide.

A Wonderful Tour with Paula – Highly Recommend!

Paula, also known as Paola, gave us such a wonderful tour! She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history and so many great facts along the way. The best part was ending the tour with tapas! Paula made the entire experience feel so personal and made sure everyone had a wonderful time. We truly enjoyed every minute of it. If you’re considering this tour, you will not be disappointed! Highly recommend!

John_P, Sept 2026

So Much Fun and Authentic!

Federico was an excellent teacher and chef! He took us shopping at the market to buy everything we needed, helped us prepare and make the "Alicante" style Paella and homemade Sangria. We made both chicken and seafood Paella. The best part was eating the Paella and drinking the Sangria!

Best Alicante Walking Tour.

Isaac is the personification of passion for Alicante. He was so informative, and engaging with all that he shared. From history, to the current context of the city - he took us on a wonderful journey with him. He was friendly, professional, and also gave fantastic local recommendations (I would trust Isaac blindly with his food recommendations). If you are looking for the best walking tour of Alicante, look no further!

Alicante Winery Small Group Tour with Wine Tasting

Sarah_B, Sept 2026

Wonderful! This tour is...

Wonderful! This tour is very limited in size and very much appreciated at that. Alberto entertained us on the short drive to the winery. It is a beautiful family property that also has a restaurant on site. The restaurant has an adjacent wine tasting area and gift shop. I do not particularly like reds, but I tasted 2 that I would definitely buy. Unfortunately they do not ship to the U.S., so we were out of luck-or so we thought. Going back through the cruise ship port, there they were! Alberto said on the return trip he usually plays music because participants are typically quiet. But we had so many questions, that proved not to be the case. Definitely recommend.

Alicante: Canelobre Caves + Busot | Small group

Dana, Aug 2026

Excellent hospitality

The best part of the tour was our driver and guide Grigor. He was most friendly and informative. It was like having a dear friend show you around is beloved home. We came by cruise ship which arrived 2 hours late. We contacted him by WhatsApp and he adjusted the pickup. He met us right at the ships’s exit. We were total 4 people together. It was a little tight in his 5 person SUV but Grigor’s driving was safe and comfortable. The Canelobre cave is a large, impressive cavern. It’s chock full of stalactite/stalagmite formations that you are very close to. There are many narrow steps down and up. We had to go through as a large group with a tour guide. It’s rather dark in places so you could bring a light. The ethnic music museum isn’t the main draw but was (surprisingly) charming to see unusual instruments including video demonstrations. Overall the site seeing was as-expected. Grigor’s hospitality was above and beyond.

Vibrant Flamenco Show and Tapas Menu in Alicante

jockprior, Jun 2026

Meal and Flamenco experience

Loved this experience. Great value for money considering that as well as the show, the tapas was delicious and plenty of it. Leave room for the pudding! You can't get service once the show starts (at 9) so make sure you have what you want for about 8.50 if you want to continue drinking through the performance. We were at the side, but honestly, nobody has a poor view, the room is a compact size which adds to the experience. You feel you are right in the action. We arrived at 8pm but there were already plenty of people here who must have come from 7.30 so they had more time to eat than we did, but it never felt rushed.
