What to expect
The tour kicks off with a guided walk through Alicante's streets, visiting neighbourhoods and historical sites while your guide explains the city's past and present character. You'll stop at a local spot for an appetiser and your first wine tasting, then continue exploring on foot. Over the two days, you'll visit tapas bars and gourmet spots, tasting four different local dishes paired with wine—everything is designed to let you eat and walk at an easy pace, stopping often to chat and learn.
The tour wraps up after you've covered the main areas and finished your tastings. You'll use public transport to get around the city (not included in the tour price), and your guide will show you where to catch buses or walk between stops. There's no formal group dinner; the tastings themselves are the main food component.

Good to know
This suits anyone visiting Alicante for the first or second time and keen to skip the guidebook highlights in favour of street-level discovery and eating well. It's particularly good if you enjoy wine and Spanish food culture but don't want a formal cooking class or sit-down meal. Note: you'll need to arrange your own lunch and dinner on both days—the tour covers only appetisers and tapas tastings. Public transport is your responsibility (nearest options are available); the tour doesn't include a driver or shuttle. It's accessible for all fitness levels, but you'll be on your feet walking for extended periods, so comfortable shoes matter. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Service animals are welcome. Minimum group size is two people. Peak times aren't specified, but book early if visiting in summer.
