Well worth going, recommended - We had a tour with Nadia on 8th August, it was our first full day here and we wanted to get to know the area and food. We had a fantastic time. Nadia was super friendly and welcoming, she was especially encouraging to our young daughter and recruited her as a mini guide which she loved. Highly recommended and we'll be making our way back to the market armed with everything we've learnt :)

Book it - it's worth it! - I don't normally book organised packages like this and I'm so glad I did this time. So worth it having someone local and knowledgeable to walk and talk you through a place, plus bring you to great stalls for samples of all the produce. Nadia our guide was amazing. A lovely human being, friendly, well informed, funny and very engaging. She was great company and the whole family loved her!

Absolutely brilliant... - Absolutely brilliant tour, the market is an amazing way to spend an afternoon, but having someone organise food in all the best spots was even better. We learnt a lot about the food culture in Alicante and came away with some bargains to boot!

Fantastic tour — great food, brilliant guide! - We had a brilliant time on the Alicante Food and Tapas Tour. Nadia was absolutely exceptional — friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local cuisine and history. She struck the perfect balance between informative and fun, and made sure everyone felt included, especially our kids, who were engaged and smiling throughout. The food and drink were varied and delicious, with a great mix of traditional tapas and local wines. We also appreciated how well-paced the tour was — plenty to enjoy without feeling rushed. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Alicante, especially families. A real highlight of our trip!

Great variety and value! - Francisco and Christina were fabulous hosts! Much more than your typical intro to Spanish tapas and foods, we tried many interesting foods with much history at the main Mercado. Amazing value for the price (and great wine too!). We’ve done a few of these food tours and this was one of our favorites. Our teenage grandkids loved it too!

Enjoyable Market Experience - Our tour guide was really nice. We enjoyed the tour around the market and sampling different foods. They accommodated my gluten allergy which was awesome. The tour was not exactly what we expected which is the only reason we didn’t give it 5 stars. We enjoyed the market, but wished to see more of Alicante and local restaurants or stores outside of the market area. This tour was strictly in the market, maybe we missed it in the description.
