The guide was excellent! He was so interesting, having grown up in the area. He knew his food and history. We tasted a variety of food in the Alicante Central Market. Highly recommended.

Gordon_P

The food, of course, was amazing, but having someone so knowledgeable to show us around and offer some of the lesser known histories of the the different foods and customs was what made this tour so memorable. Our guide was so friendly and personable it just made the whole experience a treasured memory.

The best food tour we have had in a long time. Thank you Rebecca for showing my family and I an amazing gastronomic experience!!! We loved all the places you had taken us, and learning about the history of each place we ate and saw.

We spent a lot of time at Mercado Central. We had cookies, checked the veggies, fish and meats. The cured ham was very good too. Then we went to 2 bars and had some tapas and cocktails there.

Rebecca was a terrific guide, learned so much about Alicante food scene, Mercado is impressive and continued with boutique food shops and mid day tapas. Liked that better than evening tapas food tours, less crowded. Good value and again knowledgeable and convivial guide.

Wonderful intro to local food This is such a great tour to do especially on your first day in Alicante! You will be full after this tour as there is a lot of food included, it was a full meal and the best part is that you eat so many different things. The food is sooo good! There was a lot of local products and dishes that I would have never thought to try. I loved visiting the Central market with our guide as she pointed so many different local foods and we met a lot of the stall owners. Then you go to 2 different Tapa bars which were great. Overall a 10/10. Loved it!
