With only two days in Valencia we wanted a family friendly tour to show us some of the key and hidden sights of the area. Maria was wonderful with the kids and showed us alot of sights in the city that we wouldn't have otherwise stumbled across. We learned about some of Valencia's traditions, explored a historic bakery, and learned about the street art amongst other interesting topics. She was great with our girls as well who where 5 and 7. Thanks Maria! Wonderful introduction to Valencia!

We can sincerely recommend Marcos to everyone who wants to know more about Valencia and getting to know the tips & tricks in the city (where to eat, what to see beside the tour).

We had an amazing experience exploring Valencia with my private guide, Josephine. She showed us the city's highlights and hidden gems, providing fascinating historical context and local insights that brought the city to life. We started in the charming Old Town, wandering through the colorful streets and lively plazas. Josephine shared stories about the stunning architecture, like the Gothic Valencia Cathedral and the Silk Exchange. Throughout the tour, our guide's passion for Valencia and energy was exhilarating. Josephine was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and fun. We highly recommend booking a private tour with her to get the most out of your Valencia experience.

This was a good choice to get an overview and then come back at leisure later in the day to soak in places which interested me. Tatiana was informative, detailed. She had both the historical sweep right, and the right mix of little tidbits which make a local tour interesting. I would not hesitate to recommend her as seriously competent guide.Overview of Valencia Old Town

We booked a 1.5hrs private walking tour with Marco and it was so useful. We covered most of the old town and he advised us on bike hire, restaurants and places to visit whilst we were here. We were confident having taken this tour that we were making the most of our 3 days and weren't going to miss anything. Thank you Marco 😊 So worthwhile

We konden het niet beter treffen. Wat een geweldig mens die Josefine. En wat een kennis. Ze paste de route aan op wat wij al gezien hadden zonder we alleen maar nieuwe dingen konden ontdekken. Super fijn. Haar Engels is zeer duidelijk gesproken en ze neemt de tijd voor mensen die het niet zo goed begrijpen of verstaan. Echt een geweldige host.The best host ever💜
