Our tour cancelled last minute
We had this tour booked for over three weeks and I received an email last night saying that it was canceled. Then this morning I received a text saying here are your tickets for today. We got a cab to take us to the central market to meet our person. We text her to let her know we were there and she advised that she had canceled this because she wasn’t feeling well. Viator is not the right place to book when this happens. This happened to us last year in Amsterdam when we had requested a private tour and at the last minute, it got canceled. When these things happen and your left wondering what to do when you only have one day at the city. It’s frustrating. Not sure I’ll use Viator again.
Response from the operator: Dear Christina, We are truly sorry for the confusion this caused in Alicante. While your guide reached out to us immediately when she fell ill, it appears the cancellation did not sync through to Viator in time. We understand how misleading that must have been, and we are sorry it led you to make your way to the meeting point unnecessarily. This is a known sync issue between our platform and Viator's that we have since then resolved, so that no guest finds themselves in this situation again. We hope Alicante still gave you some lovely moments, and that we get the chance to welcome you back for the experience you deserved. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team

We walked through the...
We walked through the market and tasted delicious food and wine. Then went to a tapas restaurant for more food and wine.

Great tiur.
Silvina is a profesional and tailored the tour to us by asking our individual tastes in food and drink. She is knowledgeable about the history and legends of Alicante’s history. Silvina included the Romans, the Moors and the Spanish. These conquests and the WW2 influenced food supplies available at the time influenced the the textures and tastes of today.

Great tour, not necessarily PRIVATE as advertised.
The overall experience was really great. We were glad we had visited the market earlier in the morning so we could get a real ‘feel’ for it as we only visited a few stalls. We were pleasantly surprised at the other places we visited for local food and wine. We were overall disappointed that it was in caps described as a PRIVATE tour and it was actually a small group tour. There were 6 of us total and the other group was from another cruise ship. We felt conversation between guests was lovely but it definitely took away time in learning from our very informative and knowledgeable host Sylvina. She was really good at pivoting and accommodating specific guests needs.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alicante.
How much does Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included cost?
+
Prices start at $155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alicante usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Alicante is not rushed.
Is Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alicante, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Alicante can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Alicante and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Alicante within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Alicante?
+
On Outty we rank every Alicante experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alicante Paella Cooking Class, Tapas, Drinks & Central Market, Alicante Wine Tasting and Tapas Club, Canelobre Caves and Busot Tour from Alicante. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Alicante?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Alicante?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Included: Private tour; Vegetarian alternatives; Private guide; All Withlocals tours are carbon neutral; and 10 tastings. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Alicante PRIVATE Food Tour With Locals: 10 Food & Drink Tastings Included?
