5Fantasticl evening with Rebecca from Ali-Oli.
We had a fantastic evening with Rebecca from Ali-Oli. We met outside their office, which was the agreed-upon meeting point. Rebecca was our guide for the evening and was, as always, cheerful, attentive, and knowledgeable. We got to try tapas bars and dishes we wouldn't have discovered on our own, and the food and wine Rebecca selected were, without exception, excellent. The tour is highly recommended for anyone wanting a glimpse into Alicante's tapas scene. We have been on many tours with Ali-Oli over the years and keep coming back; we choose them because they always deliver on content and quality—and, not least, provide friendly, knowledgeable guides.
5Top Tier Tapas Tour!
My friends and I had the best experience with Rebecca and Ali-Oli Tours in Alicante. The tapas tour took us to the city’s most authentic restaurants. It was a luxury not to have to make hard decisions or deal with reservations, and still enjoy the best food Alicante has to offer! We enjoyed every unique dish.
5A fantastic tour you won't regret! Go early in your visit to discover some amazing restaurants you'll keep going back to
Came to Spain for a week with an old friend, and this was honestly one of the highlights. When we got there we found out the other group who were supposed to be joining us had dropped out, so it would actually just be the 2 of us. At first we were worried that a private tour may have been a little uncomfortable, but how wrong we were! Firstly, our tour guide Rebecca was absolutely fantastic. She showed real knowledge and enthusiasm about everywhere we went,and the conversation flowed easily, completely putting us at ease. Secondly, the places we were taken to all blew us away. Instead of the usual tourist traps, Rebecca took us to a variety of local, family run tapas places. Without exception the food at all of these was just fantastic, and one of them even became a regular spot for us to drop in to for the rest of our stay - we have been every day since for a small bite before our main meals! The day after we received a text from Rebecca with a list of other places she would also recommend we try out, at least one of which we are intending to go to tonight - after our regular stop off at Sento of course! In short, I cannot sing the praises of this tour enough! My suggestion? Go early in your stay. You do not want to wait until the end to discover these delights!!

5Great experience in a great city
Fantastic experience and great way to see Alicante. Rebecca was a great guide and the food was superb. Highly recommend.
5Great tapas and wine tour
We thoroughly enjoyed the Evening Tapas tour of Alicante. Food and wine were both good, served in small family run bars that we would not otherwise have found. Our guide, Rebecca, was knowledgeable and helped make the event a real success for our party of four. We would all recommend this tour.

About Alicante
Alicante is a Mediterranean port city on Spain's Costa Blanca, with a hilltop castle, a palm-lined seafront promenade and an island nature reserve.
Alicante lies beneath Mount Benacantil, which carries the Santa Bárbara Castle, a fortress of Moorish origin with views over the bay. The Explanada de España, a palm-shaded promenade paved with a wavy pattern of marble tiles, runs along the harbour, and the old quarter of Santa Cruz climbs the hillside in whitewashed lanes. The modernist Central Market holds fish, produce and cured meats.
