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

Een gezellige vriendengroep, een stralende zon en een enthousiaste gids Arianne. Alle ingrediënten voor een culinaire wandeling door het oude centrum van Javea zijn aanwezig. We hebben genoten van de lekkere tapas bij ludieke restaurantjes, alcoholische drankjes en historische gebouwen. Het was top en zeker een aanrader!Een gezellige vriendengroep

Met 3 stellen een heel leuke en heerlijke food tour in Jávea gedaan. Arianne was een gezellige host, die ons naast kennis liet maken van de heerlijke lekkernijen uit de streek ook de leuke plekjes in Jávea liet zien. Alles heel gemoedelijk en gezellig! Tijdens de tour 3 stops gemaakt, waarbij zeker het laatste restaurant echt smikkel lekker was! Een echte aanrader dus!Heerlijke food tour in 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

Arianne surpassed all our expectations..as well as being knowledgeable about the local food scene where we were taken to places we would never have found on our own she added many historical facts which brought our tour to life. Arianne is delightful company and we cannot recommend her enough to both newcomers as well as people who live in the area.Recommended!

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

Our guide Arianne from the get go made us feel very welcome. We experienced the exciting and different food options around Denia and also enjoyed a great selection of wine. We were also able to explore Denia along the way which really expanded our knowledge of the area and was very helpful for the remainder of our trip. All in all Arianne was a great host, knowledgeable, very friendly and we throughly enjoyed our day. This experience is not one to be missed if visiting Denia.Not to be missed!

We can only say that Arianne took us on a couple of hours' journey through Denia's history, both city history and food history. Fantastic stops on restaurants with good food and lots of food too. Added good local drink. We can do nothing but recommend her and what she offers in form of guiding. Successful 50th anniversary present

My husband and I planned this tour as part of our honeymoon, Arianne was both incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. From the moment we started the tour it was clear we were in good hands. Every stop had been thought out with lots of interesting facts along the way and it was like having an extended glorious lunch with a friend. The food and wine were delicious and gave us some fantastic options to return to during our stay in Denia. Plus we had a lot of fun and laughter during the tour which really made it special. Cannot recommend enough it’s a most do for any foodie! Absolutely Fabulous! I can see why it’s award winning!

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

Arianne led a tour for our tenth wedding anniversary that we loved! We enjoyed the variety and she selected some of the best food we've ever had in Spain (fresh cuttlefish!). She was very good company, and shared interesting nuggets about the history and current life of Denia. Red Wine and Jamón stood in the market was a highlight.Best food we had in Spain!

She is an absolute pleasure to be with, & her knowledge of the area enlightened & delighted us. Thank you Arianne for a wonderful experience!Gourmet Walking Tour of Denia with Arianne

We really enjoyed every moment of the tasting tour. Every part was very interesting and fun. The casual stroll though the downtown of Denia was relaxing and informative. I feel that we really learned a lot during the tour. We loved all the food and wine. Every moment was well organized yet, at the same time, felt very spontaneous. I have a severe shellfish allergy, but didn't feel worried at all with Arianne. She is such an intelligent tour guide; she really put our minds at ease. The only regret that we have is that we didn't do this tour earlier in our visit. We highly recommend that this is one of the first activities you do during your visit. The tour didn't just include the information of the food and the wine downtown, she had a wealth of information of what to do in the surrounding area. I guess we'll have to go back and experience more of what the area has to offer. This should be your first activity.

I just returned from a trip to Spain, and one of the highlights was the private food tour we had when visiting the Costa Blanca. The 10 tastings of Denia were absolutely amazing. We tried so many different foods and drinks during our tour, including calamares and cocas in a wood-fired oven, fresh fish straight off the boat and more! I highly recommend this tour if you're visiting the area, it's not only tasty but also a lot of fun! Delicious tapas tour in Denia

We had quite a lot Withlocals 10 tastings tours already in many different cities around the world. All were great, but his food tour was definitely one of the best! We’ve been to Denia before as it is a lovely city with a nice center, harbour and beach. Now we had the chance to do a 10 tastings tour here, so looking at our past experience this was an easy choice. The food was great, from local oysters to cocas and artichokes. And it was definitely next level because of our host Arianne who made the tour super enjoyable. She knew all the good food spots and also adjusted the route based on our preferences. Arianne also made sure our kids enjoyed it by stopping at a playground and of course treating them with a delicious ice cream. Definitely recommended.Best food tour in Denia

I recently went on this tour in Denia with guide Arianne. We had such an amazing time together, and we learned so much about the culture as well as the cuisine! This 10 tastings tour of Denia was exactly what I needed after a long day at work. We were able to customize it based on our preferences and dietary needs. The private tour meant it was only us and our host which was great because we got personalized attention throughout the day. If you're looking for something fun and different to do while visiting this area then I would highly recommend checking out this tour! You won't regret it!Amazing tour in Denia!!

We had a great time with Arianne in Denia. What an unbelievably nice food-tour she gave us. We got this tour from our children for our birthday and Arianne knew that. I guess that our children told this when they booked the tour. She did everything to give this tour a festive touch. Withlocals is talking about personalized tours. Yes, this was top personalized. We enjoyed this tour so much. Everything was right. Denia a very beautiful place on the Costa Blanca, where Arianne could tell a lot about. A beautiful walk through this place and meanwhile eaten delicious snacks at the local catering industry. The tastiest local dishes were served to us from delicious oysters to the tastiest ham croquettes to a great steak. And let's not forget the matching drinks, chosen with great care. It became a great, festive day for us, partly due to Arianne's passion and the personalized food and tour. Especially the happy birthday song in the oyster-bar, started by Arianne and the waiters. Thanks Arianne and Withlocals for the super tour.Food tour in Denia
