Best walking tour!

Edna_P, Jan 2026

This tour of Alicante was excellent, very informative and easy to listen to. You can take your time, we stopped for coffee and lunch, so could do at our own speed!

Great tour for our first time in Alicante

Erin_H, Dec 2025

The tour was great. This was my first time doing an audio tour (rather than the usual walking tour). I personally really enjoyed being able to pause when wanting to take a break or meander to a different area, rewinding to listen again, starting and finishing to fit my day. The tour itself was excellent; recent and up to date, it felt personal and not cheesy, informative, easy to understand and follow, covered history and culture. It was my first time in Alicante and would recommend the tour, we did it on our third day into our trip and it helped us to discover some new places as well as suggestions for the remaining days on our trip.

Great & easy

Tracey_T, Dec 2025

My 1st self guided walking tour. This was so easy to download & follow. It gave really good details about the points of interest at each stop. Very easy to follow the directions & follow the route. Easy to pause so I could stop for a drink & snack. Would use again & would 100% recommend.

Great value

Michael_L, Nov 2025

I booked this after being let down by a couple of guided tours that I’d booked through Viator being cancelled at the last minute. I didn’t have high expectations, as it was only a few euros, but it was exceptionally good. The directions were really accurate and easy to follow, the narrator obviously knew and loved Alicante and communicated his enthusiasm, and the pace of the walk really suited me. I have restricted walking ability, but there were frequent pauses for explanation of what I was looking at, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Definitely recommend this tour
