Tour guide never turned up
Tour operator never turned up, only cancelled when called them after waiting 20 min, travelled 30 miles for the tour, very disappointing they never called or emailed to say it was cancelled
Response from the operator: We are incredibly sorry for the lack of communication regarding your tour. Our guide had an unexpected medical emergency, which made it difficult for us to notify you as quickly as we should have. We understand your frustration, especially given the travel involved. We’ve reached out to resolve this and ensure you are fully compensated for the inconvenience. Please contact us so we can offer you a complimentary tour for the future.

Great Experience
Silvina was great! We walked around town trying different food and dishes we would never have tried otherwise. Turns out I love olives now. Excellent tapas, drinks, and got to learn a lot about the culture. She helped me with some questions and guidance outside the tour. I recommend the tour

Alicante Afternoon Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alicante.
How much does Alicante Afternoon Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $146 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 Afternoon Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour 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 Afternoon Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 20 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 Afternoon Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour?
+
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 Afternoon Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour 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 Afternoon Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour?
+
Around 7 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 Afternoon Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour 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.
