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 such a great day with Maria. She showed us very interesting places, took good care of us and always asked if there is anything we need. We also had a lot of fun and are happy, that we made this wonderful experience. Maria showed us things you wouldn't find without a local guide, real hidden treasures. Highly recommended.

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

We enjoyed our tour of Alicante. Andrea Silvina showed us different areas of the town, with their culture and characteristics. We also enjoyed a visit to the market where she shared with us her knowledge and passion for the local gastronomy.

Maria has a great knowledge of the history of Alicante. It was a very interesting walk through Santa Barbara castle and old Alicante. The hike took over 3 hours, but it wasn't tiring or difficult. At the end I was invited to a good ice cream in an old cafe. I strongly recommend hiring Maria as a guide the next time you are in Alicante.very knowledgeable and nice guide

Alicante is a lovely city and Maria made our short visit a memorable one. She was prompt, professional, friendly and so knowledgeable about the area’s history. Maria was mindful of our comfort and regularly asked if we preferred the sun or shade during the 3-hour walking tour. We enjoyed sitting down with her for an ice-cream break and having a personal chat to get to know her. We have no hesitation in recommending Maria for a private tour. Highly recommend Maria!

During our recent city tour of Alicante, we had the pleasure of being accompanied by Maria, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. Maria's dedication to showcasing the city's rich history, culture, and landmarks truly enhanced the overall experience. Our guide's expertise was evident from the moment we began our journey. Maria effortlessly shared captivating stories that brought the city's past to life. Maria's deep knowledge of Alicante's architecture, significant landmarks, and cultural heritage was impressive and added depth to each stop on the tour. What truly stood out about our guide was her passion for the city. Maria's genuine enthusiasm for showcasing Alicante's hidden gems and lesser-known attractions was infectious. Maria is a great story teller with exceptional communication skills. We took our time to photograph and enjoy amazing views. She added personal touch to our tour that we greatly appreciated. It was awesome experience!A Knowledgeable and Passionate Companion

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 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

This was such a beautiful way to introduce a group of our friends to Javea old city. We were a group of 4 couples, 3 of whom were in Javea for the first time. We had a beautiful lunch, with stops at 3 different establishments to sample the local specialties and learn something about the city of Javea, the local customs, and the Spanish lifestyle. Each stop coincided with the main courses of a meal: starter, main, and dessert. Each place had it's own character and atmosphere. Our guide Arianna was pleasant, informative, and also aware she was in the midst of 4 couples who were catching up with each other, so she allowed us to socialize amongst ourselves, but also did a nice job of explaining each dish and gently keeping us on schedule. While en route to the next establishment she pointed out buildings or monuments of historical interest. It was just a fantastic afternoon. I'll definitely do it again and recommend it whole-heartedly to others. Beautiful introduction to Javea

We like to book food tours at the beginning of a stay in a new city, and Arianne didn't disappoint. We sampled five eateries we'll return to, and had a dozen others recommended to try later. One of us can't eat gluten, and the other wants to try everything, so we were happy that she could choose places that would work for both of us. We'll be repeat customers when family visit in a month, and can highly recommend.Great intro to the city

Als cadeau hadden wij van de kinderen een stadstour in Denia gekregen. Op zaterdagochtend om 10 uur afgesproken. Arianne, onze gids, was ruim op tijd en herkende ons aan onze Nederlandse uitstraling. Eerst kennis gemaakt met elkaar en toen op weg. Bij de haven begon onze drie uur durende tocht door Denia. Alle hoogtepunten zijn voorbij gekomen. Kerken, kasteel, bars, bodega, hotel met bijzondere entourage, etcetera. Alles zeer de moeite waard. Erg geanimeerde gesprekken over alles wat het leven maakt zoals het is. Kortom een aanrader voor iedereen die hier in Denia verblijft. Anita en FrankEen aanrader!

Last June on a slightly cloudy day we did a very nice hike with 6 friends. This hike was guided by Arianne. She knows the area well and that certainly adds value. It seems simple, but without a guide you can easily lose your way. The route is quite tough. And if you are also sporty, you can do it. After about an hour of ascending and descending via a path with phenomenal views, you arrive at Cova Tallada. A beautiful cave with a very nice view over the ocean. What a gift. The route then goes up towards the port of Javea. Which also provides beautiful views. A very nice varied tour. Highly recommended to do with Arianne. Finally, we all had lunch together in a nice restaurant near the harbor. Great day! Thank you Arianne 🫶Hike to Javea through Cova Tallada

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!

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!

We had a really wonderful introduction to Dénia thanks to Arianne. Taking the recommendation of a previous traveller on one of Arianne’s tours, we booked our tour within the first few days of our arrival in Dénia. Arianne was very friendly and welcoming, and generous in her recommendations and sharing of local knowledge. We sampled some great food and drinks in several stops around the city, and Arianne also weaved in the history and culture of the area through the carefully chosen stops on the tour and the walking route that revealed the various landmarks and features. Arianne’s experience and love of the region shone through in her tour, and she went above and beyond to ensure that we could make the most of our time here. We highly recommend anyone visiting Dénia to take one of Arianne’s tours. Thank you, Arianne!Perfect introduction to Dénia

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.
