Review of Alicante’s small-group city tour with Santa Bárbara Castle, old town sights, market tastings, tapas, and practical booking advice.
“Great way to see many important Alicante sights and learn about the city’s history in 4 hours or so. The ham “tasting” at the end was a nice surprise and a great explanation of the different qualities (and price points!) of Jamon Iberico. Our guide Paola was very helpful and flexible with our pace and my partner’s need to use a cane for balance.”
Tour Alicante’s Valor chocolate factory and medieval Guadalest, with castle views, local shops, pickup, and a small group of up to 8.
