The guide Frans provided interesting historical information and was pleasant. The beginning of the tour was disorganized. There were multiple groups of people on the stairs to the market which was the meeting point. The tour guides did not carry a sign to indicate the tour so people were walking around trying to find the tour. We have gone on viator sponsored food and wine tours in the past and enjoyed them especially the one in Malaga. As this tour was advertised as the lunch time tour and promised plenty of food and wine tastings I had expected that it would easily provide for our lunch. This was NOT the case. We received small shot glasses of the wines with an inch or less of each, not wine glasses or normal pours.. The food was minimal. Overall if you are looking for a tour that incorporates good food and wine, this is NOT the tour for you.

We loved the tour especially that Isaac was so passionate about the local specialties and why they are important. He was an excellent guide and made quick adjustments based on schedules. The only downside was that there were two very small children and that was annoying with the crying. We'd suggest not allowing kids especially since there was food and alcohol tasting.

Got to taste loads of local foods and wines, brilliant value. Our guide Fran was great! We learn quite a bit and it was really fun !

We have had tapas a number of times but this experience was made really special because of the quite large variety of small portions, the matched wines for many of the items, the fascinating details about preparation shared by our highly knowledgeable and highly personable guide Frank (Francesco), and the opportunity to meet the people whose families have had shops in the Market -often for multiple generations . This was a great tour that my wife and I would label a must do for any Alicante visitor.
