Private tours in Alicante

Alicante is built under a castle on a rock that has been fortified since the Bronze Age, with a palm-lined esplanade paved in six and a half million marble tiles. It is a Mediterranean port city that most people pass through on the way to a beach, which is their loss. Tour Travel & More organises 100% private tours of Alicante with a licensed official tour guide, a luxury vehicle with chauffeur and a travel coordinator available 24/7.

The old town on foot

Santa Cruz is the quarter climbing the hill behind the basilica: whitewashed houses, flowerpots on every wall, and steps that keep turning corners. Below it, the Basílica de Santa María sits on the site of the old mosque, and the Explanada de España runs along the water in its wave-patterned marble.

The castle, the market and the museum

Santa Bárbara castle stands 166 metres above the sea and is reached by a lift cut through the rock from the beach. The Mercado Central is the city's larder, and the MARQ archaeological museum is one of the best of its kind in Spain — it won the European Museum of the Year award, which is not something you expect from a provincial capital.

Valencia, Elche and the interior

Valencia is a comfortable day trip with a driver, and closer to home Elche has the largest palm grove in Europe, planted by the Phoenicians and now UNESCO-listed. Inland, Guadalest sits on a crag with a castle and a reservoir the colour of turquoise.

Arriving and leaving without friction

Alicante-Elche airport is twenty minutes away and the cruise terminal is in the city itself. Transfers, hotel pickups and port timings are handled by your coordinator, so a short call or a tight connection stops being your problem.

With Tour Travel & More, Alicante is a city rather than a transit point. Tell us your dates and a travel expert will design your private tour with an official guide.
