Unfortunately this guide didn’t respond my messages or phone call, and was a no call no show. This caused me disappointment and wasted money — not just the cost of the tour which hasn’t been refunded, but also the cost of the hotel and airfare difference I wasted staying an extra day just to do this tour. I was really looking forward to it. No call no show

We arranged a walking tour with Danny. Being a native English speaker was a bonus for us as Canadians. He knew his way around and was able to point out the key features and little details such as the images portrayed in the stone corners of the church. He took us to a traditional cafe where we had churros and chocolate. Yum! FYI: Danny we went back to repeat the experience. Enjoyed the tour and we were able to navigate our way around to the features of interest the next day. ThanksDanny is a super guide.

Danny was a friendly and informative guide on our walking tour in Valencia. He gave us a lot of history about Valencia and most importantly introduced us to "Agua de Valencia"!! Danny also tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and know about. Great guide for a walking tour!

We did a two hour walking tour with Danny titled "Myths and Legends" in Valencia. Danny did a great job adjusting the tour to fit our needs and wants. It was so nice to have it personalized and to not have to wear ear buds because it was just the two of us and him. He pointed out several things that we would have just walked by! Also, with his recommendations, we were able to determine which things we wanted to go back and explore more by ourselves or things we wanted to explore in other areas of the city. The original time I had booked needed to be adjusted due to a scheduling error on withlocal's side but I was contaced directly by Danny with adequate notice. The communication made it easy to adjust the time and feel confident in the change. We were really glad we did this tour! A great afternoon tailored to you!

Danny was great. I took my USA university students who are studying tourism in Spain. Danny told great stories and all the students have put into their trip reports that they learned so much and thought Danny was the best guide we've had so far. Thanks to Danny, their imagination was sparked and they learned so much that brought Valencia alive for them.Loved the stories

whilst we found Danny very knowledgeable and pleasant and enjoyed our tour, the organisation of the tour was not great. We had booked our tour beforehand and unfortunately Danny was on a day off but no one else had been arranged to meet us. was eventually sorted out but left us hanging around waiting and if we hadn't have called Danny ourselves we would be never have found out what was going in. I have emailed the company separately regarding this.Danny Great Organisation of tour not so great!

This tour was very informative about the city of Valencia. Not only did Danny cover the legends if the city, he provided a history if the city that has shaped what it is today. He is extremely knowledgeable and obviously puts a lot of time and effort learning basic knowledge and tribal facts. He's able to point out little details that most people would not see on their own. Overall, this tour was well worth the money and time spent!Excellent tour
