Alessia was an excellent host. She had great knowledge of the city and offered many recommendations on places to eat and shop. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.
Our guide was wonderful! He was so great with our 2 kids. This was one of our favorite stops on our vacation.
This tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide (David) was phenomenal. He showed us so many cool things across the different eras observable in the Old Town. Additionally, he provided so many options to tailor the tour to our interests. We had plenty of chances to take breaks, have some drinks and snack, and even talk with another group who happened to be sitting nearby and learn even more about Valencia and other parts of Spain. We would definitely recommend all take this extremely enlightening and comfortable tour to learn the history of Valencia.
Great walking tour. Ludmilla was a very knowledgeable tour guide and we enjoyed the tour! Would recommend.
Luciana was awesome! She was very informed and provided a great personalized tour. She took the time to know what each of our group was interested in and catered our trip to meet our interests. She fit in great with our family and was entertaining and quite humorous. We all highly recommend taking a tour with Luciana.
It was great! Danny was personable and very knowledgeable about Valencia! He had a great time and learned a lot about the city!
Alessia was amazing. Such a good tour filled with city history, architecture, neighborhoods, recommendations and gems. Perfect way to start our stay here
Our tour guide Alessia was great. She was very knowledgeable about the city and neighborhoods, periods of architecture and little gems. Perfect way to start the time here.
My guide, Luciana, was excellent. Great personality and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot and had fun at the same time.
Great experience. Got to see so much of the city and our tour guide Luciana was very knowledgeable and friendly and communicated very well with us prior to the tour to arrange everything.
We had a wonderful four hours with Luciana. She really was very insightful of the highlights of Valencia for us as first time visitors. She took the time to get the know us and what we liked. She was extremely professional and gave us a wonderful experience.
Valencia is a very beautiful city. There is a lot of history there with stunning architecture that never loses the charm of a small city. Especially the historical downtown. Luciana our tour guide was great, she gave us food tips and has a rich knowledge of the city. Don’t miss this.
We had an incredible time on this tour! Our tour guide was super kind, informative, and took lots of pictures for us. He was open to our input and willing to shape the tour based off of what we wanted. We really enjoyed our stops at the Serranos Towers (I think this place is only open limited days), the Silk Exchange, La Horchateria de Santa Catalina, and the Jardin de Monforte.
Dan knew the accepted history and the urban legend about many of the sights. Made for plenty of laughs during the tour.
A very medieval experience. Our guide, Alessia, was very informative and knowledgeable! Hit all the high points of location, like the Holy Grail. A very pleasant way of experiencing Valencia!
Alex was great! Very knowledgeable and fun. He was patient with our leisurely pace and showed us places we never would have known about.
This was an outstanding tour of the highlights of the old city with a truly wonderful, engaged and informed tour guide, Consuelo. Highly recommended!
Me and my wife had a great time, Max our tour guide was great, he’s very knowledgeable and patient, thank you so much.
This was a private tour. I like small tours as I feel that I get a much better grasp on the city (or other sites) as opposed to a large group. Max was an awesome guide. He is an architect by trade and imparts his knowledge in such a way that you feel like you are part of the city and appreciate the beauty around you.
Max took us on a tour of the old city with a historical and architectural emphasis. He was knowledgeable and personable so the time flew by.
The four hour tour was perfect to get a good flavor of Valencia. Max The tour person was very pleasent and nice with good information about history and the city.
Max was the most incredible guide for our first time visit to Valencia, his knowledge of the city’s heritage and his background in architecture made it a fun and very interesting few hours, plus he indulged in our questions and conversation like a pro! Thanks for a fantastic time 🤩
A very comprehensive walking tour through the old town of València. Very thorough. Our guide was very willing to accommodate what areas we would like to see.
We had a great few hours with Elena! We wondered around the city whilst she told us facts about Valencia. We stopped for Horchata and went into some cool buildings and churches. If I had one comment, I'd say it could have been shorter because of the heat was so strong. A solid experience.
We had a great tour with Max! He communicated with us both before the tour, so we were prepared, and after for tips and recommendations. He was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout.
This is a very complete tour, that highlights all the historical facts of the city. Our tour guide was fantastic very knowledge and entertaining.
It was below average tour. Guide was nice but was very slow going and not assertive to take the lead on where we were going. Didn’t give much info unless we asked questions
Max walked us all over Valencia, what a beautiful city! He was prompt, personable, and did a nice job of taking us to common tourist spots, secret quiet places, as well as customizing by what we wanted to see. We would book again.
Lucas was a great host. He was very accommodating to what we wanted to do and see while keeping us on track with the planned tour.
Lukaz was excellent!! I am a senior and travel solo and his warmth and friendly personality made the experience feel like that exploring the city of Valencia with a knowledgeable friend.
Our guide Max did an excellent job explaining the cultural and historical aspects of Valencia. He was entertaining and informative!!
it’s a fabulous 3-4 hour walking tour of the highlights of Valencia - from 15th century Moorish influenced castles/structures, to amazing cathedrals & churches to the Mercado Central, etc and with a few refreshment stops, oncluding hotchata!
Lucas was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. It was an extremely hot day and he was very accommodating with changing a few things around for us. Loved Valencia and the tour.
Great way to see Valencia’s highlights, learn its history and discover gems off the beaten path. This was a very well thought out tour and would highly recommend. My husband was in his wheelchair for the tour and we had no issues visiting the different sites and the path was very easy and manageable. Our guide, Wojtek was always mindful of our needs throughout the tour and we enjoyed every part of the tour.
The tour guide Emma made the experience!!!! The places she took us, the information she gave us was beyond special. Her personality, professionalism and humor made our day magnificent. Bravo to her and the company that has her employed. She is a GEM!!!
Our guide Victoria gave us a wonderful, informative walking tour. Her English is perfect and she was very knowledgeable, also flexible to what we wanted to see, where we spent time, etc. she was incredible! We highly recommend this tour!
Lovely overview of Valencia. The experience was extraordinary as during day of religious festival. The streets were bursting with people.
Awesome experience and great private tour! Highly recommend! Our guide Anais (Ana) was fabulous! She did a fantastic job of explaining the history of each site we stopped at including taking some photos of us. There’s no way we would’ve known to stop at some of the sites. For example, the area where we could see a part of the original Roman wall and the area to see a part of the original Muslim wall. Truly incredible! Oh and we actually enjoyed having true Spanish Horchata 😊
I hate to do this as I have never given a negative review ever. Met our guide for a walking tour of Old Town, Valencia . Tour was supposed to be 4 hours but we cut it short after almost 3 hours as we just didn’t enjoy it. As a family, we have done a lot of traveling all over the world over the years. And have been part of many tours private and group tours alike. This was by far was the worst experience. I want to start by saying that our tour guide was very nice and respectful and kind, but he didn’t know anything about the city! He told us as soon as we met that, this was his first tour, and he was given very short notice the night before, and he wasn’t prepared. He was so soft spoken that we could barely understand what he was saying. Only 3 people in our group…. he didn’t know anything about a lot of the landmarks, he was walking very slow, and we felt that we had to pretty much google everything for our answers. Valencia really is such a beautiful city and we were so excited to learn more, sadly it Wasn’t the best experience. We felt bad for him because I don’t think he was ready to give tours but maybe the company we booked with were very shorthanded so they just sent him out. For a private tour we were expecting much better.
Guide was very knowledgeable, easy going, joyful, and passionate of his city. Gustavo was born and raised in Valencia, and knows everything you could think of and more! What we paid came absolutely short of what we received! Excellent experience!
My guide was Victoria, and she was a wonderful guide. She tailored the tour to avoid stops I had on a different tour, allowing me to experience even more of the city. She told me so much about the city’s history. I would highly recommend the tour and Victoria!
Our guide, Benito, was excellent and funny. He gave us so much information and was very knowledgeable. It was a great way to get oriented to València and I highly recommend this tour.
Elana was very knowledgeable and friendly, we enjoyed our tour of valencia thanks to Elena it was very interesting
Wojtek was an excellent guide with a great knowledge of history and culture. The pace was relaxed, flexible and fun for all.
Tour was okay except at no yime were we informed it would be a National Holiday when we arrived. Almost everything was closed including tickets that we supposed to be included in the price. We reached out to tour operator about this, but received no reply. Guide was fine, but wasnt aware herself that so many things were closed until we reached each one.
Elena gave us a wonderful tour of Valencia. She shared great information, took us to many interesting sights, and she was very patient with the six of us going every which way and needing to sit down constantly. She was sweet and patient and obviously loved her city. She is very flexible, customizing the tour to whatever you want. We highly recommend her and this tour.
Wojtek was an amazing guide. He was prepared, on time, patient, and a great communicator, as he is fluent in several languages. He went at our pace (which was a little slow, because we are over 50), and was incredibly knowledgable about the history of the area.
Wojtek did a wonderful job. We got to see all the highlights that we wanted to, while getting an inside scoop into what Valencia was like. It was a good balance of walking and stopping in cool areas on a hot day which was great. He left us off in a beautiful spot, where we could continue on with our journey and enjoy the surroundings. He was very nice and informative, helping us figure out our next steps as well. I would definitely recommend going on this tour for anyone wanted a more personalized experience. We really saw the care he put into putting our tour together for us. -Scott and Mason
Carlos was awesome! We started at the iconic Torres de Serranos and the old town, where history springs from the stones. We loved the Central Market where the energy was infectious and full of mediterranean fresh products. Carlos made every stop meaningful, sharing stories and fun facts that made the city come alive. We finished with a refreshing horchata in Santa Catalinay and visited a secret garden that was a real surprise. A truly amazing morning with Carlos.
