    This tour is absolutely brilliant! The two towns that you go to are both amazing with their history, architecture and location. Alberto was able to really make the history of both places come alive. The stop off at the chocolate factory is also very interesting and tasty. If you only have time to do one tour while you are in Alicante, make it this one. You will not regret it.

    Booked this thru Ali-Oli tours. After many tries due to the minimum people needed, we were added to a Spanish speaking tour. Alberto was gracious enough to add in English were needed. This was a great tour! The two towns were great to see and made for a full day. I highly recommend Ali-Oli for tours and especially this tour. Your guide was the best and the tour company too

    The tour was excellent from beginning to end and Alberto, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The chocolate factory tour was extremely interesting and lovely to then end the tour with some amazing chocolate. The old town of Altea was so pretty, has a very chilled out vibe and is full of amazing photo opportunities. All in all a great tour. Thank you Alberto.

    Altea is a classic whitewashed Spanish village. Narrow streets, artisan shops lovely cafes and restaurants and great viewing points The main square is really lovely with the church as it’s centrepiece. A really popular and lively place with loads of atmosphere. There’s a great viewing point just off the square looking towards Albea and just below the square looking towards Calpe. Park at the bottom of the village and walk up to the top if you can. A great experience walking through the narrow streets and housing
