Fun way to get a taste of Alicante - Paco Dory was a fantastic and fun guide who was very knowledgeable about the history of Alicante and its food. We enjoyed some very tasty local food and drinks and met some friendly and interesting people from different countries. It was an excellent way to start our stay as it showed us where to go and where to find other places to eat and visit. Thoroughly recommend. Muchas gracias Paco!

Even if you visited the... - Even if you visited the Central Market before (like us) you learn so much more about the local flavors, traditions and history with a guide. We didn’t realize when the 2 hours with Fran had passed.

Highly recommend - Really loved it - Highly recommend trying this. It was a great ending to our trip. Me and my wife we both loved it. We couldn't do this activity earlier because of the fewer spots, and it was not available on Sunday (Since the market was closed) Fran (Francisco) was our guide, a nice guy who explained everything nicely. We had a good time. Tasted lots of different food: fruits, vegetables, nuts, pastries, fish, cheese, meat, sweets etc. (I can't remember the count and names exactly- more than 15, I guess) and drinks (about one beer and 4 wines)

Educational and tasteful - A teaching and tasteful experience. The guide Isack did a good job of losing us through local tasting experiences. Good in English and engaged guys. If you are interested in food and local products, this tour is a must.

A wonderful experience - What a wonderful trip. The guide was a delightful young man who was so knowledgeable about all of the food and wine, its production and provinence. He spoke fluent English and was clearly passionate about his culture and country. He was a joy to listen to. The foods and wines we tried were amazing. All were local produce. If you are visiting and have a few hours to spare, I highly recommend this tour.
