Enrique Mateo was an excellent guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging questions. He knows his craft well. Well versed in the turbulent history of the castle, Alicante, and Spain he was an eloquent, enthusiastic guide. I would encourage this tour for anyone wanting an understanding beyond the basics.

Javier was an amazing guide. He gave us ample opportunity to ask questions related to the tour and beyond. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We don't normally take private tours, this one surpassed our expectations. We cannot thank you enough Javier for a memorable experience, your kindness and love of the area came across. A million times thank you.
