Guide was very knowledgeable about Valencia which was great! My brother and I learned so much from her which was nice and we saw the highlights of the area as promised per the description of the tour and allocated time which was nice.
<p>This was a great experience and learned so much about the rich history of the city!</p>
My husband and I did a three-hour private walking tour with Elena. We loved her passion and enthusiasm for Valencia. We felt like we learned a lot. At the end, she went an extra step by calling ahead to a restaurant that was just opening for the day and telling them that a party of two would be coming for Valencian paella, which apparently takes an hour to make. So, we got there, had an appetizer, then our paella was ready.
<p>Anna was fun and very knowledgeable. Me and my daughter had a wonderful time.</p>
<p>Elena was amazing! She was very accommodating to our needs and interests. Highly recommend using this service.</p>
<p>Elena was a very knowledgeable tour guide. She was very friendly, arrived on time, and was prepared. The walking tour was very interesting specially since we were there during the festival of FALLAS!! Strongly recommend going to Valencia at the time of this festival. <br/> She took the time to explain the history, culture and the changes that have happened over time. Loved the tour!</p>
<p>Our third Viator experience and absolutely excellent. Elena was full of interesting facts and explained so much over the three hours it flew by. These walking tours are definitely the way to experience a new city. She kindly dropped us off at a great tapas place for lunch too.</p>
<p>I had the best morning in Valencia touring the old city center with my guide. It was like two friends strolling.<br/> I have been to Valencia several times for business but never took the time to explore the small streets and markets around the town.<br/> I highly recommend this private tour to anyone- it was a great 3 hours.</p>
<p>We were almost ready to skip Valencia due to a poor accommodation choice!, but Elena completely changed our opinion of Valencia! Not only did she give us terrific insight into the history of Valencia, she helped us find and book a new hotel and gave us great tips on what to do, where to eat, and how to enjoy the city. Terrific guide!</p>
<p>This was an excellent tour, and Marcos a very informative guide</p>
<p>WOW this was a really wonderful trip Ana was awesome and so informative, she made special accommodation for two members of our group with handicaps and we all enjoyed our day immensely. Ana not only knows the history of Valencia she is open to discussing modern life there and the politics and culture. She has terrific insights that make you feel like your are not just seeing Valencia but having a deeper understanding of the city and its culture. We really can't say enough good words about Ana she was a highlight of our travels and highly recommend her</p>
<p>We had a fabulous day with JorgeGeorge!! He was an excellent guide and Valencia was our favorite stop on our cruise. He was right on time and our group of 8 very much enjoyed his knowledge about Valencia. Besides the historical parts he took us to fun places like the food market and a fan store where beautiful custom fans were made and painted. We enjoyed visiting with him over lunch, excellent recommendation of his! He knew we wanted to go to the Lladro factory and he helped arrange transportation for us to lladro and also tour of the factory.</p>
<p>The three of us did the Valencia Private walking tour on March 28th with our guide Jordi. We were very satisfied and higly recommend this tour and guide. Jordi was waiting for us right on time at the reception of our hotel at the time we requested and took us for an about three hours tour through Valencia while giving us an extensive explanation of every interesting fact about the city. Is was very relaxed. Much better than the other groups we saw on the way with more than 20 people where almost no one could hear the guide. Moreover he took us to several places and little shops where large groups never could have gone. It was a very enjoyable part of our Valencia-trip.</p>
<p>We really enjoyed our private walking tour of Valencia. Our guide Ana made it fun and was very knowledgable. We learned a lot about the city.</p>
I really liked Valencia. It has monumental and very nice palaces and churches. I'm sure we'll be back. The guide was a lady with studies in history and art and it showed. We know it from Civatis.
Jordi, a magnificent guide and very professional. Apart from being a great person, his knowledge is impressive. The way to tell you things very funny, a way to make all the information fit much better. I recommend it to all people who visit Valencia, children and adults.
A very interesting and fun visit. The guide has a lot of historical and art knowledge, and also explains it in a very enjoyable way.
The visit has been a great experience by very special corners and places of the city. The guide’s explanations have not helped to understand which aspects were the most interesting in each place, besides their curiosities. Thanks for this day!
