Local tip on booking timing

If you’re planning to join the most popular tours in Alicante, keep in mind that weekends and holiday periods fill up fast, especially in spring and early summer. For example, a Sunday boat ride or a Saturday walking tour around Santa Cruz can book out quickly if the weather is sunny. Reserving your spot a few days ahead is easy and saves you disappointment. You’ll also often find slightly better deals if you avoid the absolute peak summer months. If you’re flexible, booking tours midweek can mean smaller groups and a more relaxed experience while still enjoying everything these best sellers offer.
