Enjoying traditional dishes of Alicante - The tour was exactly what we hoped it would be. We tasted various drinks and tapas that were traditional to the region and in places we would not have found on our own. Flora, our friendly guide, was informative and fun. Lucky for us there was only one other couple on the tour who shared our expectations for the afternoon! Most enjoyable tour that we highly recommend.

Excellent Excursion - I was in Alicante last week. The experience was wonderful as we walked through the little streets of Alicante while our guide Florencia guided us. We had the opportunity to taste different Paellas. Everything turned out excellent. Highly recommended.

What a great tour it was :) - I spent three days in Alicante and one of the tours I embarked on was with Flor. She did not only guide us through local spot, she also provided insightful explanations about the food, the history and the vernacular culture. We had an incredible time with her, what an unforgettable sense of humor she has. Me and my group of friends wouldn´t stop laughing and enjoying every single moment of the tour. Thank You Flor !

Because if the size of... - Because if the size of the total group, our tour became a private one with Flor. It was the best tour we had. Extremely enjoyable and personalised so the interactions with all the people on the way were on a one-to-one basis. Not only did we learn about Alicante but the personal interactions made it special. Two thumbs up!

Incredible experience! - While in Alicante with a group of friends, we had an incredible experience. Our journey included a visit to a hidden gem, a vermuteria, where we relished tapas and tried owner-crafted drinks. Next, we dined at a genuinely local and authentic restaurant, savoring Alicante rice and other specialties. To cap it off, we explored another venue, where we delighted in horchata and Alicante nougat. The guided tour was both enjoyable and enlightening, leaving us with not only newfound knowledge but also a sense of camaraderie. Loved it!
