A wonderful introduction to the city and its culture
Our guide Javier was incredible. He is so passionate about his city, the culture and of course the food. We wandered through old town seeing beautiful squares and learning their stories and history. We did a walk up to the top of the city so we could see the view and the castle. He introduced us to wines from the region and even some tapas not on the menus. Overall a wonderful introduction to the city and its culture.

Allicante History, Food & Wine experience
I booked this as a surprise for my partner as a birthday experience. We drove from Mil Palmeras, I would recommend giving yourself more than enough time to drive to Allicante as traffic can be slow moving. We parked in the underground parking near the port a short walk away from the pick up. We met our guide, Andrea at 12pm on the dot in the designated meeting place. From the start she was super friendly, very well spoken and we knew our day would be a pleasure. We started off by getting a little history of Allicante as we walked stopping at various place of significance. Our first taste of Allicante was at a little tapas bar in the market…..we tried a new grape variety in wine, a few tapas pieces (delicious). Moving through the market we stopped at another tapas bar, here tried a different wine and more tapas. Again delicious and an experience. During our tour through the market we had a lesson in Iberian pig and local cheese. We picked up a few bits while in the market that the stall holders were happy to keep for us while we did the tour. After the market we continued our tour finishing in another tapas bar experiencing again further local drinks and food. This is where our tour completed and we said goodbye to Andrea. Thank you for a wonderful experience Andrea. Ps. All the food and drinks were included in the cost of the tour. I can highly recommend this company, worth every cent. Muchas Gracias

She’ll be thrilled to know that her friendliness, knowledge and passion helped make your day so special.

It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Alicante again in the future. Muchas gracias and all the very best to you both!

Perfect Alicante afternoon.....
We had a fabulous afternoon with Silvina! Highly recommend. It was fun to see the local market and to try numerous foods and drinks from the Alicante area... with some bonus history and cultural lessons. It was a perfect shore excursion in Alicante and cannot imagine a better one. Gracias Silvina!

Wonderful way to Sample Alicante Food and Wine
My mother and I took this tour when we visited Alicante by cruise ship. The tour was wonderful, and very enjoyable! Sil planned a wonderful half day tour and chose great places to visit. She made accommodations based on some dietary restrictions I had, and catered the wine portion of the trip to fit each person’s preference. Sil ensures that the food and wine featured in the tour are all local to Alicante. The route walked was very easy, and not too far of a distance. It was raining very heavily the day of our visit and the tour wasn’t impacted at all.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and your mother in Alicante. I’m so happy you enjoyed the tour, the local food and wines, and that we could adapt everything to your preferences and dietary needs. Even with the rain, your positive energy made the experience very special. I hope to welcome you both back to Alicante again someday! 😊

Amazing Day & Tour in Alicante; Especially for Cruisers
Wonderful day & tour in Alicante with Silvina and the Within Experience team. From booking months ago to joining the tour today we have had a great experience. Booking the tour on Viator was easy and cost effective. Silvina was on-time, very professional, and really knew Alicante. She made perfect recommendations for food and drinks. She has a tremendous passion for Alicante, wine and the food of this region. She knew the best restaurants, shops, market, etc to take us to. Although it rained like crazy today, the tour went on without incident. All locations were prepared for our tour to join them. Silvina led the tour perfectly. We had 7 guests all from the USA and from cruise ships. The tour started and ended on-time. We were easily back to our cruise ship. The Alicante Market was wonderful. We made it through the market easily while stopping at multiple locations. We were very happy with this tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone; especially cruisers to Alicante. We will take this tour again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 It was truly a pleasure to host you in Alicante, and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience from the booking process all the way through the tour itself. Silvina will be especially grateful for your kind words. She is very passionate about sharing the culture, gastronomy, wines, and local life of Alicante with our guests, so it means a lot to know that this came across during your visit. We are also very glad that, despite the rainy weather, everything went smoothly and that you were able to fully enjoy the market, the food stops, and the city before returning comfortably to your cruise ship. Thank you again for recommending us to other travelers and cruisers visiting Alicante. We would absolutely love to welcome you back again in the future

Savor Alicante: Premium Wine Tasting and Tapas for Foodies: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alicante.
How much does Savor Alicante: Premium Wine Tasting and Tapas for Foodies cost?
+
Prices start at $154 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 Savor Alicante: Premium Wine Tasting and Tapas for Foodies 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 Savor Alicante: Premium Wine Tasting and Tapas for Foodies worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 78 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Alicante, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Savor Alicante: Premium Wine Tasting and Tapas for Foodies?
+
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 Savor Alicante: Premium Wine Tasting and Tapas for Foodies 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 Savor Alicante: Premium Wine Tasting and Tapas for Foodies?
+
Around 27 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 Savor Alicante: Premium Wine Tasting and Tapas for Foodies 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.
