Marcos was exceptional, he was such easy company, shared his local knowledge and experiences, while patiently explaining the history of the city and region. He is good company, friendly yet structured enough to keep the tour moving, while covering so much of the history of Valencia. Highly recommend Marcos as the best guide to share the history and current status of this region, including sharing his knowledge of dinning options across the city First class
Cesar was a wonderful guide. His knowledge about the history of Valencia was amazing and he made the walking tour very interesting.
Valentin was a fantastic guide, he arranged an easy meeting point & his knowledge & itinerary were great, would definitely recommend this tour for people of all ages.
Our guide was full of energy full of knowledge and really enjoyed sharing his information. He treated us like he would've treated the most special person coming to Valencia seeking a walking tour.
Excellent walking tour; gives you all the highlights of the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and answered all our questions.
Wow, if you book this tour try to request Mimoza, she was an outstanding guide. Not only because of her wealth of knowledge about Valencia, but because of her spirit. She is one of a kind and made for a very memorable couple of hours walking through Ciutat Vella. Ten out of ten, would book again.
Very informative tour. Maria really knows her history of the area and its landmarks. She showed us many different and beautiful buildings in Valencia. This city has such charm and wonderful architecture. Definitely recommend this tour. Thanks again from Guy and Kimberly, Georgia, US
Our tour was scheduled to start at 11 am It was a rainy day, but we figured we would Grab an umbrella and be good to go. Walked twenty minutes and arrived to our spot ten minutes early. At 11:15 I texted the tour guide , giving her our location and asking if she had arrived.... Thinking perhaps she been held up by the rain. I can see She read the text, but did not respond. A few minutes later I received an email from the company saying our tour had been canceled. Noting that the tour guide had a personal issue that kept her from arriving. They issued a refund that was going to take five days to hit. And by now we've been out in the rain for almost an hour. I really Wish that the tour guide had reached out prior to us leaving the hotel to let us know she would not be coming. This is a bummer from one of the most highly recommended travel tour options
Sylvia was fantastic! She kept us on track and really exposed us to some great and authentic spots in Madrid! She taught us to carve out our own space in crowded spaces just like the locals!
Great opportunity to explore Valencia as a first time visitor. Lots of great insights on what to do and where to go. Luciano was very personable with lots of knowledge. Highly recommend.
Took tour with Mike. Good introduction to Valencia. Tour took place in the city center. He was quite knowledgable and enthusiastic. Would recommend.
Our tour guide, Luciana, was simply outstanding. Knowledgeable, personable & fun to be with. We saw everything in Valencia we expected & more. Luciana had so much local information & many tips that vastly improved our time in Valencia. The 4 hours of the tour changed our entire 4 days in Valencia. Thank you Luciana for providing us with such a thorough & enjoyable experience, helping us fall in love with the city!
Mimoza is very knowledge and a great guide. We recommend her highly an she showed us the best odor Valencia.
The tour was good but not great. The guide was polite but didn’t seem particularly passionate or to be enjoying his job. We were on a cruise so did three similar walking tours (another also arranged via With Locals) this one just left us flat. I don’t want to be u kind but it wasn’t great.
Tatiana was exceptional! She was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain and also offered other insights and recommendations that were very helpful. I would strongly recommend a tour with Tatiana.
My time with Mimoza was fun and she helped understand how Valencians live their life and belief in providing for everyone. We walked through old town and were lucky to find a few things open during to bank holiday. She was patient and kind about helping me understand the historic elements of the city. I would go again on a tour with her and recommend her to others. Thank you Mimoza
Well worth tapping into the local knowledge. Maria was great and we found out so much more about the lovely city of Valencia. Highly recommend.
Mike is pleasant, informative and accommodating, He maintained a good pace, giving us relevant information and historical context.
No call no show guide, days go buy, no refund promised or given from company. Was really looking forward to it. Contact info for customer service not posted on their website. Chat AI bot on their site was not helpful.
The tour was wonderful! We got to see so many hidden places we never would have known about. She was very knowledgeable about the history and the culture! We were able to go at our own pace and see what interested us instead of a generic tour! She even sent us to a delicious restaurant for tapas after the tour.
Mike is the perfect guide for a nice and enjoyable promenade in Valencia old town. We felt very much at ease with him 👏 👏👍 he‘s highly recommended
We were impressed with our tour guide Mike. We had an enjoyable tour and would highly recommend him. Very nice.
We met Valentin, at the place stated all on time. We had a very informative tour which took in the historic areas, buildings, and monuments. We had a planned break for a glass of Horchata-a must to try-which was very refreshing. We had a good tour with Valentin.
Maria , was excellent She knew a great deal about the city Very happy we had the experience with her
Excellent With locals as our tour provider. Very responsive, excellent guide. Great lsngusge skills, nice and service oriented.
We had a fabulous tour with Mike he was an excellent story teller and kept us interested at all times Only four of us on tour so we was able to hear and ask questions very easy and came away with a good understanding of Valencia Would definite recommend
Josephine was an excellent tour guide and gave us a wonderful tour of the city. We would highly recommend this tour. Josephine provided us with interesting facts that we would never have known without a guide.
Josephine was an excellent tour guide and provided us with the history of Valencia. We toured numerous spots throughout our walking tour and had a delicious horchata drink and pastry along the way.
Marcos introduced his beautiful city of Valencia to our group of six in October. He kindly met us at our hotel and showed us round some of the key sights and streets of the city plus a few lesser-known ones. The tour ran over by 30 minutes as he was so keen that we didn’t miss out on anything. He also texted info to us afterwards about restaurants and local transport that was very helpful. The pace of the tour was perfect and the history and knowledge he shared was pitch perfect - giving context, interest and colour to everywhere we visited. His English was excellent so we never struggled to understand. Marcos has such warmth and passion for Valencia that we also fell a little in love with the city. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide.
Given the great reviews for this tour, we were very excited to tour Valencia. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations, which was unusual as Viator reviews for many other tours we have done in the past have always hit the mark. Valentin was our tour guide. While he was knowledgeable about what we saw, he was very softspoken and our group of four people (60-65 years old) had a difficult time hearing him. The pace of the tour was also very slow. We wanted to see more of Valencia, including the amazing architecture in the City of Arts and Sciences (shown in the pictures depicting this tour), but it wasn't included in our tour. Overall, this was the first disappointing experience we've had booking through Viator.
Our tour guide canceled but never let us know until we called her. We were waiting at the meeting spot for fifteen minutes when we decided to call to find out she wasn’t coming. We later received an email (2 hours later) from the tour company saying the tour was canceled.
Daniel (Danny) Blackwell was our tour guide and he was terrific! Very engaging, funny, knowledgeable, and worth every penny! Definitely recommend this tour to get a general orientation of Valencia!
Valentin has lived in Valencia his whole life, so it was great hearing stories about the city from a true local. We did this tour on day 1, which helped having a basic rundown of "what and where" about the city. It was only 2 hours, so not too hard and the walk was easy, even though it was quite hot. We loved the local drink, Horchata that we tried at a famous cafe that Valentin knew about. And we tried it the local way... with a long fresh, light sweet bun to dip into it.
Great trip. Very informative. Josephine was fantastic. We learned so much about the local history and our guide provided us with plenty of things to do for the remainder of our trip
Marcos was one of the best tour guides we have used. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to our group. We would definitely recommend his services to others. At the end of the tour he recommended an authentic paella restaurant and it was truly authentic. It was filled with locals not tourists. The best thank you. Tom
Great tour and guide. We saw and learnt a lot as we went around Valencia as a private tour which made enjoy it even more. thank you
This was a great way to see historical parts of the old town. It was entertaining, informative and fun! Special thanks to Marcos!
Josephine was a great tour guide, very informative with amazing local knowledge. Thank you for showing us the beautiful city of Valencia.
We had a fascinating and enjoyable walking tour with Danny that all 6 of us really enjoyed. He was knowledgeable and enabled us to really appreciate our time in Valencia. We would highly recommend Danny as a tour guide.
We knew nothing about Valencia prior to this tour but left with a real desire to go back. Marcos was a great guide - both his English and his enthusiasm for his city was impeccable. We would definitely recommend him.
Cesar was amazing. Highly recommend!!! Very personable, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We had a great time learning about Valencia!
Remember the following text: "Marco was an incredible guide! He kept us very interested in the tour with all the information he offered. There was not a moment of boredom. He was also very patient with us. During the tour, we couldn’t avoid doing some quick shopping, and he patiently waited for us! The only issue I have with the tour is that the offerings stated on the website are inaccurate. The tour doesn't include any food/drink tastings, however we stop to taste a couple of things and we paid for them. Also the Arts and Sciences area IS NOT included. We understand that it's far from the starting point, but no one mentioned this at least a few days before, so we could decide if we wanted to cancel or not. However, we loved the tour! Highly recommended."
Cesar was great !!!! smart, funny and we learned so much about Valencia !!! The city is so charming and beautiful
Excellent experience and explanation of the Tour in both languages Spanish- English The courtesy stops for a drink, baked goods, bathroom were accepted by our Tour guide
This was one of the best tours we’ve ever done. Danny was fantastic and friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour, and Danny’s recommendations for the rest of the trip were absolutely fantastic. The trip simply wouldn’t have been as good had we not started it with this tour. Thank you!
We had such a fabulous walking tour with our guide, Mike. He was very friendly and funny, knowledgeable and personable and it was very clear that he was passionate about his city, València. He took us to the main sites and also some hidden gems . We would definitely recommend this private walking tour to anyone considering coming to Valencia and hope you get Mike.
We had a great experience touring Valencia with Marcos. He was responsive, flexible, interesting and adjusted to tour to make sure that our interests were included. We highly recommend Marcos for anyone's Valencia Walking Tour.
We were meant to get a 3hr walking tour but only got 2hrs.. We met other people at our hotel and they seem to have a much better tour with another company We’ve booked another tour with Viator in September to Budapest but having second thoughts
Josephine greeted me in a relaxed fashion and wanted to understand what I wanted to get out of the tour. She absolutely personalized the tour for me and we focused on history and some of the cultures that influenced Valencia’s evolution. We also decided to add in a tour of the Musea Ceramica which is a lot more than a ceramic museum and is a must see (it really speaks to the opulent wealth experienced by some in Valencia’s past. She also noted the Roman Ruins given my interest in history and dropped me there so that I could visit at the conclusion of my tour (also a must see…like visiting Pompeii in an hour). Josephine is one of the absolute best tour guides I’ve ever had and I’ve had many private tours!
