Tours Urbanos Alicante runs guided walks through Alicante's old town, including the free tour 'Alicante, its history and legends', which explores the former Muslim medina, the city walls and lesser-known corners. The route takes in the Explanada, the Town Hall square, the Basilica of Santa María, a Civil War air-raid shelter, the Santa Cruz quarter and the Co-Cathedral of San Nicolás, with stories spanning the Middle Ages to the Civil War and a few theatrical touches. The walk lasts about 2 hours and starts by the tourist information building at the port, where the guide carries a green or fuchsia umbrella. Guides include Vicky, and the company also offers themed tours on legends and ghosts, pirates, the Civil War and Santa Bárbara Castle, as well as a Halloween special and an escape tour for children. Visitors praise the guides' knowledge and humour, though the organiser notes the route has stairs and steep slopes.
The organiser asks you to arrive at the meeting point about 10 minutes early. Visitors recommend the themed tours, such as the Halloween evening tour with riddles and staged scenes.
