Very enjoyable tour given by Maria, a knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide.
Maria’s passion for Valencia’s history is very apparent.
For us booking a private tour was a really good option as we had people with mixed abilities and a large tour would not have been a good experience. Highlights and hidden gems

Maria leads an incredible tapas tour and even sprinkles in a history lesson if you are interested. This is a great way to start a trip to Vakencia and Maria is so nice and extremely knowledgeable. Must do!

Our tour with Maria was the perfect experience. She was lovely to talk to, had a lot of knowledge about history, politics and food and really made us feel welcome. Maria made the booking process as easy as possible and was always happy to share some tips, even weeks in advance. She even remembered that one of us git this tour as a birthdaypresend and organised a cake and singing to surprise us. Thank you so much Maria and all the best! An absolut pleasure!

We were a family group of 11 visiting Valencia for the first time (grandparents and grandkids included) and Maria did an exceptional job at providing historical context whilst keeping everyone interested with fun activities for the kids and teens.
She came well prepared for the tour with games and pictures and was flexible enough throughout to allow for additional breaks and minor tour changes as necessary given the size of the Group.
Would highly recommend anyone thinking of visiting Valencia to book a tour with Maria!Great Valencia tour with Maria!

Wij vonden de tour van Maria er interessant, want ze wist heel veel te vertellen over de stad en de geschiedenis. Ze heeft ons meegenomen naar 4 verschillende plekjes waar we een drankje en wat tapas hebben mogen proeven. Ze houdt rekening met dieetwensen waar nodig. Maria was een hele fijne gids, hierdoor hebben wij een hele leuk avond gehad en zullen we hier fijn op terug kijken. Intressante avond met lekker tapas

Our tour with Luciana was the highlight of Valencia! Beforehand, we were able to share our wishes, and Luciana took them into account perfectly! Besides the delicious food, she also knows a lot about fun neighborhoods and spots in Valencia that we otherwise would never have discovered. She’s very social, which makes it feel less like a tour and more like a friend simply showing you around the city. Afterwards, we even received a list of restaurant recommendations for the rest of the week. Truly fun for young and old, the time just flies by!
Get a tour with Luciana!!!

We asked Luciana for a personalized guided food tour thru the old town of Valencia. We enjoyed 3h with her getting guided from one restaurant to another while listening to some of Valencia’s interesting stories. She is a nice person and it was lovely to spent the evening with her! We would ask her again the next time in Valencia. Personalized Food Tour

Before we commenced our tour with Luciana we exchanged WhatsApp messages re meeting up and she finished with “ Let’s have fun “ . That’s exactly what we had on this tour . We met at 7pm and essentially had a night out - food tasting and drinking in very well chosen tapas restaurants and bars . We finished off indulging in the local concoction Agua de Valencia - one jug wasn’t nearly enough . Fabulous night , fabulous tour Luciana is a terrific guide ! Highly recommended. Lets Have Fun !

If you're short on time but big on curiosity (and appetite!), Luciana is the guide you want in Valencia! My sister and I booked two private tours with her — a delicious food tasting and a full city exploration — and both were absolute highlights of our trip.
It felt more like wandering the city with a fun, knowledgeable friend than following a traditional tour. Luciana tailored everything to our pace and interests, sprinkled in fascinating stories, and introduced us to mouthwatering local specialties we wouldn't have found on our own.
We left Valencia with full bellies, happy hearts, and a whole lot of new favorite memories. Next time we're back, Luciana's leading the way again — no question. Highly, highly recommend!TastyBites & CitySights: Luciana Delights!

This was the perfect way to start my visit to Valencia! Maria was such a lovely, knowledgeable guide. She clearly knows and loves the city well, and I really enjoyed hearing some of the history and the different kinds of architecture. Not to mention, all of the spots Maria chose for food were fabulous! Great variety of local places and stands at the central market. Cannot recommend this tour with Maria highly enough! Do it!! Maria is wonderful!

Thank you Luciana for providing us with such a thorough & enjoyable experience, helping us fall in love with the city!

We booked Maria for a private tour. Although our time together was short, Maria made every minute count, guiding us through Valecia’s rich history and architecture with infectious passion. It wasn’t just informative—it was joyful. There’s a twinkle in her eyes when she’s guiding that tells you this is more than a job for her - it’s her passion. If you're looking for someone who goes beyond the brochure, who’ll make your trip feel personal, magical, and full of heart—book Maria. A perfect day

She keep it interesting and factual. She also made it fun and, although I've been to Valencia before, Maria showed us many new things and details we would have missed. I can highly recommend her for a wonderful experience. A wonderful experience with Maria

Maria was very flexible after I booked the wrong tour initially. My wife and I toured around the Canyamelar - Cabanyal districts for 2 and a half hours. Although we know something of the area, having visited several times before, we were introduced to lots of new aspects of the area, from historical details to architectural examples, street art, museums and restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful tour Maria ! This tour was very suitable for wheelchair users.A fun and interesting tour with Maria

Maria is amazing, we were 4, different age and interests, but she was able to read into this and adjust every minute of our visit. She was very well prepared, on just on history, but also on local places, drinks, food and culture. She helped us to book restaurants and places and she was always listening to our vibes in the moment (tired, interested, questioning etc...).

Valentín was a very pleasant guide who was generous with his time, and made sure we tasted many Valencian specialities, visiting the central market for fresh produce and then a wine bar for tapas, and finishing in a cocktail bar to try Agua de Valencia - delicious! He also answered our questions about the architecture and demographics of the city, and gave a couple recommendations. We didn’t see as much of the city centre as perhaps we had expected, but it was an enjoyable morning despite that. Thanks Valentín! You won’t go hungry!

While our guide was very nice and I think his intentions are great, as new visitors to Valencia we didn't feel this tour added what it was supposed to for a food tour for the money. We have done food tours in other cities and the advantages are usually the guides of knowing people and places as to expedite ordering and multiple local dishes- we didn't get exposed to many expected favorites like potato bravas, local ham, paella or even anything in the Central Market which felt strange because he kept saying everything was unusually busy. We also didn't learn many traditions unless we asked. Just felt awkward.

Valentin was fine. He knew his way around the city, the interesting sites to see, and so forth. That probably isn’t surprising, since he is a city guide! He was perfectly pleasant and we enjoyed the tour, but I’m sorry to say that he and tour were on the flat, without any spark of interest from him. The poor man had probably done the tour dozens and dozens of times. Unfortunately, that showed. With other tour guides, and we’ve been lucky enough to have had many over the years, there’s usually a better engagement and more warmth. That said, his communications were good and it was easy to meet him.An OK tour
