Wonderful tour of Alicante. - A nice little tour through a part of Alicante. Everything was well organized. Part of the tour was even by taxi, so you don't have to walk the long way up.

An entertaining journey of discovery of Alicante - Having visited Alicante a few times , I realized how little I knew about the hidden treasures and history of Alicante . Our charming guide gently guided us around Alicante revealing many insights and hidden gems of Alicante .
Many of which would only been known to the locals of Alicante . His passion for Alicante , especially the produce shone through the whole tour .
I now feel we will visit this fascinating city in future with fresh eyes and now will be able to enjoy it even more .
If possible I would give the tour and guide 10 stars and cannot recommend it highly enough

Walking through history - Paco is an informed, friendly tour guide. In addition to sharing the history of the castle and neighborhoods, he shared tales and local customs. He took us to an excellent taco restaurant.
