Can the guided tours and free tours of Alicante be carried out with children?

Of course! In addition, the guides have a very good hand with children, we love discovering Alicante to both, adults and children.

And what if I’m running late?

Each tour has a starting time so it is important to arrive on time, but before leaving we phone call the people who have booked the tour with us, to confirm their attendance. If you are a bit late, or you cannot find the meeting point, we can send you the location in real time from WhatsApp, so you can find us easily.

How can I recognize the guide?

The guides hold a purple umbrella where is written Free Walking Tours Alicante. If you are joining the Pub Crawl the guide wears a pink T-shirt saying Alicante Pub Crawl. And, last, but not least, if you are joining the Paella & Sangría cooking workshop, the guide wears a black t-shirt saying Alicante cooking workshops.

How does a Free Tour work?

The Free Tours do not have a fixed price, it is the client who pays at the end depending on how much the tour was worth for him/her. This “pay after show” modality is widespread throughout the world. Everybody wins! Both, the client who travels with a limited budget, but also everybody else, since the guide will have to make an effort every day, to run the best tour of your life. This also means that we are not going to bore you with many dates and historical details, although some are always necessary. But we will talk about legends, curious and entertaining facts to make the guided tour of Alicante an informative and fun experience.

If it rains, does the free tour take place?

The Free Tours run even if it rains or shine! In case of rain, we usually contact the clients to confirm their attendance, if you want a tour in the rain, we will provide you a tour in the rain 😊

Can I do the tour if I am pregnant?

Of course! Guided tours of Alicante do not require physical effort, although it must be taken into account that they are about two hours on foot.

Can I do the Free Tour of Alicante in a wheelchair?

During The Old Town Free Tour, we only find one flight of stairs, that can be easily avoided by modifying the route a bit, which the guide will be delighted to make.

On the Paella&Sangría you my find some problems in the Market and to reach the stove, but it is possible. We will make our best to accomodate you.
