Delightful visit guided by Sonia. Outstanding professional with deep knowledge of Valencian history. Highly recommend.
Sonia was a wonderful guide. She was friendly, very interactive, energetic and very knowledgeable in the history of Valencia. She made our walking tour lots of fun. I would highly recommend her for anyone considering a walking tour.
Excellent introduction to València. Good to do day one. Great guide with voluminous information about the history of the city.
Marcela was wonderful. A lovely guide with way more knowledge than I could handle! We had a wonderful time and learned a lot.
We had a wonderful walking tour with our guide, Alex. We elected to do the family friendly program and it was a perfect blend of learning about the local history and sites while mixing in strategic snack breaks and play time for the kids. We visited during Las Fallas so Alex incorporated some of the Fallas into the day. All in all, a perfect activity for families when visiting Valencia!
We booked a private walking tour with Ferran, and it was one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. From start to finish, Ferran went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. His knowledge of Valencia’s history, architecture, and culture is incredible; he shared fascinating stories about landmarks like the Cathedral, the Silk Exchange, and the hidden gems most tourists miss like the Estació del Nord. What made the tour truly special was Ferran’s energy and personality. He made learning fun, kept the pace perfect, and tailored the experience to our interests. We laughed, learned, and felt like we were exploring the city with a friend who genuinely loves what he does. We often take tours, and Ferran stands out as exceptional. His dedication to making sure you not only learn but also enjoy every moment is rare. When we return to Valencia, booking another tour with Ferran will be the first thing we do! Highly recommended—don’t miss your chance to tour Valencia with Ferran!
Great tour with Jesus! He provided relevant information not only about the places we visited, but also from spots along the way. He answered all our questions, and was super friendly and patient. 100% recommended
Amazing Tour with a real great guide Jesus. Professionalist, nice and available for any suggestion in order to make our time in Valencia a great time! Tour well organized that allow to skip the line and enjoy the city!
Sonia was fantastic, so warm and friendly as well as knowledgeable. She gave us lots of food and activity recommendations. We had a wonderful time.
The most enjoyable 2 hours of our stay. We learnt so much about the history and culture of Valencia from Monika our guide who answered all our questions with a clear enthusiasm for the city.
It is a walking tour that looks at the outside of buildings, churches, and museums. It doesn't include entry into anything. It was almost a pre-tour. The guide was passionate about her city.
Our guide Eva was excellent, very knowledgeable about the history of Valencia and the many buildings we visited. It was a very relaxed tour and we both thoroughly enjoyed it
Our guide, Joequin, was very intelligent, engaging and knowledgeable. He was exactly what we were looking for in a private tour of València.! He was also friendly and we really learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Unfortunately when we arrived in Valencia, our bags did not. It took a full 2 days for us to get our bags, and these guys were great in allowing us to reschedule our tour at the last minute (we needed to shop for clothing). Once we had the tour Sonia was great to work with, very helpful in sharing the history of her city, and walking us to areas of interest. She even routed our tour such that we ended our tour right in the main shopping district in case we needed to pick up a few more items. We always try to book a walking tour in the first few days in a new city and this one did not disappoint. Highly recommend!
Friendly guide who came from Valencia so so knew everything you could possibly need to know We really enjoyed it Ask for Sonia, recommended
Wojtek was our tour guide. It would have been good to receive a message from him before confirming the meeting place, introducing himself. Overall the experience was enjoyable. He knew a lot about Valencia's history although it was difficult to understand him at times. I did particularly enjoy going through the 'farmers market'.
Going up the tower of Serrano and looking at the view of Valencia. Very beautiful. The guide was very friendly and provided important historical information.
It was a nice overview of the old town. we enjoyed getting a feel for the area and learning some things about the monuments and history.
Our guide was knowledgeable and took us to different point of interest in Valencia. Loved the history and specially the Central Market. He was patient and worked well with. My elderly mom.
Sonia was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable with a most engaging delivery of the information. The pace of the tour was just right and it allowed us to get a good sense of the city and which places to return to for more in depth visits. A great way to start our short vacation in Valencia.
Our Catalina was extremely knowledgeable about Valencia’s history both past and present. She has a iPad with maps and pictures of items she’s describes making it easier to take in the information. She answered every question and was pleasant company. Highly recommend.
We loved our walking tour of Valencia! Our tour guide had been a school teacher here in Valencia for over 40 years. She had great personal memories with her family that she shared. We definitely benefited from her experience and we came to love València more because of the care and passion she shared with us.
Ferran was a wonderful tour guide. Very informative and in tune with the whole group. Highly recommend for anyone who is new to Valencia and wants to gain some quick knowledge.
Too expensive !! Didn't provide entrance to historical monuments. Tour guide had difficulty explaining historical information.
Sonia was a wonderful ambassador to València and the tour was excellent. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the history, language, art, and culture of the city from someone who knows it inside and out. Sonia also marked up a map for us showing other museums and attractions that were interesting to us with the times when they were open. It was great—everything we hoped it would be!
Our guide Sonia was ready and waiting for us, and led our group of four on a rambling tour of Valencia’s historic centre. Her English was excellent and her knowledge of what to see and the history of the town surpassed our expectations. Thoroughly recommended.
Guide was very experienced and met us at the exact place and time. Walked us to interesting areas and then gave us time to browse around or have some local foods. very good tour
Our tour guide was great! He showed us all the sights of Old Town Valencia! The food was also amazing!
This was a very interesting and informative tour of the Old City neighborhood of Valencia. Joaquin was an excellent tour guide and gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations on top of it all.
Benito was very informative and gave us a great overview of the city. I totally recommend this tour when you arrive.
Sonia was awesome! Not only was she wonderful to speak with she explained everything with such enthusiasm and she was great with the kids at explaining the history ar po und them. Will definitely recommend her to be the guide for hair next tour.
My wife was pickpocketed during our walking tour so sadly we had to cut the tour short in order to report the theft to the credit card company. But our tour guide Paulinho was very knowledgeable and a good guide.
Our tour guide, Wojtek, was such a delight, very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Valencia. His walking tour took us to all the highlights of this beautiful city. He also recommended a delicious place for lunch. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Wojtek, you will have a memorable day in Valencia!
Excellent Guide!!! Very knowledgeable, clear, funny and pleasant. Can ask any questions. Highly recommend the Guide and the tour.
Sonia, having grown up in Valencia and worked many years in the Valencian tourist industry, was a wealth of information, very helpful & friendly, and just plain fun as a 2-hr companion. Highly recommend as a tour for 2+ (I was alone and paid a premium for that, making the tour a bit pricey).
Sonia was our guide for the private downtown tour. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. We enjoyed every minute of this tour. Before leaving she gave us detailed tips for the next few days of our stay in Valencia. Thank you!
Fernando was knowledgeable, very friendly, and when we told him we like history, he shared much about the history of Valencia. He pointed out little things like interpretations of carvings that gave me a much better understanding than I would have had if I were just seeing it on my own. My 82 year old mom was able to keep up with the pace he set - he catered the tour to us because it was private for 4 people in my family. It was fun to hear a local’s perspective. Recommend!
We got a nice tour of the city with Ferron. He was able to provide historical details and answer our questions. We had a slower family member so he adjusted our pace to accommodate her. He brought us into two small museums we wouldn’t have noticed without him. It was very enjoyable for all.
Excellent guided tour of Valencia with Ferran showing us the incredible sights and history of this city. Very informative and enjoyable
Our guide Paulina was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of València.
Sonja was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. She provided a wonderful overview of the city history.
Sonia a really nice guide. Very knowledgeable, had lots of old photos and maps to compare and show how it used to look, she’s also very fun and speaks excellent English.
Our tour guide Sonia was absolutely fantastic. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful. This was an excellent tour and was the perfect way to start our trip to València.
The cathedral and the history behind it was very interesting. Manuel was our guide and he did a great job!
Our tour guide Maria Jose was incredible. It was a private tour and she was very informative. I highly recommend touring the city!
Sonia was amazing! Well worth the cost. Walked around and learned a lot of history while seeing great sights. Highly recommend.
Rosa, our guide, was fabulous and very knowledgeable. What's nice with a private guide is that you don't have to wear ear pieces and you can ask questions whenever you'd like. HIGHLY recommend!!
tour guide is great. She told us about the history very in details. You won't feel boring, but find lot of interesting about the history of Valencia.
Absolutely fascinating. My guide was very knowledgeable, well-informed and filled with fun facts. I am so glad she was available. Treasure her! Don't lose her! She was flexible because I had already spent several hours in one of the monuments she had planned to take me, so I got a custom tour made up on the spot. Loved the experience! If she'd had time I wanted to take her to lunch, but she needed to meet a repair person and had to run. Before she left she recommended I see the zoo, which I did. I am not usually a zoo person but she was right, it was amazing, there were NO cages.
