Alicante private tours and shore excursions
Alicante private guided historical tour
Join us for an unforgettable 4-hour private tour of Alicante, where we'll uncover some of the city's hidden gems, starting in the heart of the historic district and ascending into the mountains.
Our journey will lead us to Santa Barbara Castle, an impressive historical monument perched 166 meters above sea level, providing breathtaking views of the stunning Alicante bay below.
We'll meander through the old town, characterized by its charming Mediterranean ambiance. You'll also encounter the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, which stands proudly on the site of a former Moorish mosque.
The town hall, a beautiful example of 18th-century architecture, and the Modernist palace, known as Carbonell House, dating back to 1924, are highlights of our stroll.
We'll stroll along the iconic promenade next to the sea, an enchanting pathway crafted from over 6.5 million ceramic tiles.
After a brief walk, we'll hop in the car for a quick drive to San Juan beach, where our next stop will be the Monastery of Santa Faz.
Inside the monastery, you'll find a treasured relic brought from the Vatican in the 15th century. Legend has it that this relic is the cloth that Veronica used to wipe the face of Jesus as he journeyed to Calvary.

Alicante boasts a rich and diverse history. Nestled along the Costa Blanca, it has become an immensely popular tourist destination.
As you stroll through the city’s streets or anywhere along the Costa Blanca, it’s difficult to envision what life was like prior to the influx of tourists from across Europe over the past 50 years. What was once a modest fishing village has transformed into one of Spain’s most sought-after locations.
Remarkably, the first humans established their presence in Spain more than 50,000 years ago.
Evidence supporting this claim endures even today, with prehistoric caves that date back to those ancient times.
