Myself, my husband, and our two young children (2 and 4 years old) went on a food tour with Silvina in Alicante and it was fabulous. We ate amazing food,drank delicious wine (or juice for the kids), and learned a lot about the culture, food, and wine of Alicante. Even my sometimes difficult to please children enjoyed the tour and my 4 year old said it was his favorite part of our whole trip. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Silvina! Perfect Tour

With only 2 days to explore Alicante, we wanted to ensure that we obtained an initial introduction from a local that could show us all the key and hidden sights that would leave us with a taste of the city and also inspire us regarding what to explore on our own. Andrea was great with our family (including small children) and we got to see sights that we otherwise wouldn't find our our own. Great Introduction to Alicante

We had a late afternoon stroll around the city with Andrea uncovering those unexpected facts that we would never have discovered on our own. Walking pleasantly broken up with Tapas stops where Andrea introduced us to local dishes and wines that we wouldn’t have had the courage to order ourselves. With new knowledge we went to the Mercado the following day and feasted on many of the tapas again. A super introduction to Alicante which set us up for the next 2 daysIndulging the culture and tapas

What a splendid day with Andrea - she was very knowledgeable, her English impeccable, and most of all she was great fun! She took us all over the city - showing us many out-of-the-way places that we would never have seen otherwise and always with a background story! She even offered us a local drink to finish off our tour! She was very understanding when we had unfortunately to finish the tour a little bit earlier than expected because we had to check out of our hotel. All in all, a very successful day which I would recommend to anyone! Visit to Alicanti

Andrea was a delightful guide who took us on a walking tour of both Old Town and New Town. She selected local restaurants and introduced us to authentic dishes that we likely wouldn't have tried otherwise. Her choices for food and wine were thoughtful and delicious. Andrea has a wonderful understanding of the history and culture of Alicante. We sincerely appreciate her expertise in introducing us to this amazing area and sharing her passion with us.Passionate Guide to Alicante’s Food & Wine

Andrea Silvina showed up promptly at the meeting point and took us, a group of six men, to a food journey of Alicante without the hassle of driving or walking far. We got to experience different wines, meet, cheese and fish in different locations at the market and in the down town area. All matched up with stories of the area and the culture. We totally recommend her as your guide on a tasting tour in Alicante. She knows!

Had an amazing tour with Andrea yesterday. Lots of great and useful information and she catered the tour to our specific likes. We particularly enjoyed our time with her in the market trying local flavors. She recommended our 2 best restaurant experiences during our entire time in Spain. Highly recommend Andrea! Her English was excellent. It gave us so much more than what we could have done on our own even with our guide books. Learnt so much!

Andrea really made the tour worthwhile. I requested a personalized offer and it was so much more than I thought! Alicante has got a lot of legends next to the history and Andrea reveiled a lot of them, all very interesting. Andrea also has a lot of hidden places to show when it comes to tastings of local wines & bites. I enjoyed all the places we visited. Thanks a lot Andrea for the lovely afternoon! highly recommended!A lot of hidden gems & local tastings!

Andrea was the perfect travel guide to get us started in Alicante. She balanced our interest in food, culture and history perfectly. So many guides overwhelm you with history you can read from a book. Instead, Andrea gave us an overview, kept it interesting and made for a wonderful morning exploring the key sites of the city center. Wish we could have her be our guide for all of Spain’s highlights. Perfect balance
