“This was the Worst tour ever! Do not waste your money. Be aware this starts in the alternative section of Madrid, there are 6 ft penis posters. For 4 people we were only given 2 small drinks (3oz) during the tour- 4 stops , we had to ask/pay for water. The “tasting” were small plates, 8 total in 3 spots. All but 2 were terrible- one was pig blood sausage- the last stop was a fast food tapas place- the guide was terrible. No personality, she didn’t eat or drink and lectured about alcohol and sugary food- she even went off about how she hated “fat people” this tour was…”

She shared so much information about the city of Alicante as we strolled from restaurant to restaurant, we learned a lot. The food choices she made were absolutely fantastic. We tried tapas we never would have on our own, and are so glad we did. Everything was delicious, and the restaurants she chose were special, not run of the mill.
