I and my 3 children (8y,10y and 14y) went on a city trip to Valencia and I was looking for a kind of guide who could make a tour interesting for children. After a long search I came across Marcos 'family tour' advertisement. He felt good and so I booked his family tour Valencia. It is always a bit exciting, because certainly the youngest of 8 years old does not speak English (the other does well), except for a few words and therefore there is a degree of difficulty to get such a child involved in a tour where English is spoken. However, Marcos was really fantastic and through patience, interaction, but also by paying attention to each child, he made sure that each child understood his story or question. Of course I sometimes translated a bit for my youngest child. What really gave his tour power, was by working with images and a local tasting. I am a culture and history freak myself, but he also fascinated me with his stories about about the city, which was very educational for me too. In 3 hours he took us through the old city and took us to a number of sights. Marcos fascinated us enormously and we quickly formed a bond. This is very nice. It was a pity that he was going on holiday the next day, otherwise I would have booked another tour with him immediately. Marcos also does customized tours if you want that. His communication is very fast, which we Dutch people really like. If you are looking for a quality guide, then Marcos is the right person for you. Thank you very much and when I come back I will book him again.High recommended family tour guide

Our guide was Marcos and he was one of the best tour guides we've had. We were travelling with our three young kids and Marcos did a brilliant job of tailoring the narrative to ensure they were always engaged and interested. He also incorporated a number of unplanned detours to get the kids ice cream!!
It was our first time in Valencia so the itinerary curated by Marcos was bang-on the money. I was actually surprised with the range of sites we were able to cover in 2 hours. One of the subtle highlights was walking through the back-lanes rather than on the main streets all of the time. It gives a greater sense of the Old Town, it's history but also the way of life now.
Great job Marcos and thanks very much.Well Organised and Great Value

Marcos was an excellent tour guide. Thanks to him we were able to explore the city a bit more with our two sons (5 years old and a 7 month old) without having to worry about how to entertain our eldest while still enjoying ourselves and learning about Valencia and it’s rich history. Definitely recommended!Excellent tour for families

Marcos was a great guide! He was wonderful at navigating the needs & interests of me and my wife, my mother in law who is very into Jewish history, and our two kids (8 & 6). He totally engaged the kids by getting on their level (physically) and responded quickly when we needed the many bathroom breaks (small bladders...). When we go back to Valencia, he's our first call!SO GOOD! Great with our kids!

Marcos was a wonderful guide. He is knowledgable, friendly and warm. We were traveling with an 8 and 6 year old and he made sure the tour was aimed at them, their understanding and their level of energy. And as adults, we also very much enjoyed it and learned so much. Thank you Marcos for a great adventure.Great guide; great experieince

We had a great tour with Marcos who took us through Valencia. Interactive and informative so both we as parents and our 8-year old son loved walking through the city for over two hours. Never a dull moment and full of ninja-surprises! Definately worth it! And Marcos, if you are reading this: Milan found more 😀Great, personalised, tour

Mike did a great job in creating a tour adapted to the interests of the whole family and managed to keep our two kids focussed on the various details of the streets, buildings and history of Valencia. This was all the more challenging as we already had gone on a tour of the city a few days before. We never felt hearing it all over again. It was all adding up to our great stay in Valencia.Tour for juvenile minds

Touring Valencia with Esther was a wonderful experience for my 10 y/old son and me! We had such a great time with her showing us her city and telling us stories about its past (beware of bats! 😊) and its present (the way we looked at graffiti all around changed completely into a game, after hanging around with her! Thanks for the hints!). We had the best mandarina ever and tasted the real Valencian merenda. Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and for your patience, Esther, we never forget this experience!Great time with Esther!

Our group of 13 people split into 3 groups with 3 different “With Locals” guides. Mike was by far the best! He’s a teacher by profession, and it really showed in the way he was able to get the kids involved, keep their attention, and explain interesting things using stories and humor. We really enjoyed our time with Mike!Excellent with kids and funny!

We did the family tour with Marco. He was the perfect guide. There was 3 children in our group, 10, 8 and 1 and they all loved it and were entertained from finish to end. Even though it was in the high 30s Marco made the tour very comfortable finding shady spots and going at a nice pace. He was very knowledgable but interesting and his passion shone through. We can’t wait to return and do another tour.Could not have been any better

I experienced an exceptional walking tour of Valencia with Marcos. He is passionate about his city and provided insight and details about city sites and life which I never would have gathered on my own. Information was further enhanced with photos, maps and videos. I am fortunate to have Marcos as my guide. He is not only knowledgeable but a kind and considerate man. When he learned I was arriving in the city from a cruise ship, he changed our meeting point to be more convenient for me. How thoughtful! I strongly encourage arranging a tour with Marcos. You will not find a better guide.

I highly recommend Marcos as your tourguide! He’s a passionate storyteller who brings Valencia to life with warmth and energy. From the very start, he made me feel welcomed and safe, which is so important as a solo female traveler. His love for the city shines through in every detail he tells you, and he took the time to tailor the tour to my interests. After the tour, he even followed up with a detailed list of recommendations based on what we talked about. A great way to kickstart my citytrip in Valencia! Thanks again, Marcos! 10/10, percect for solo (female) travelers

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.

We had an amazing experience, and we highly recommend Marcos. We felt like we had a friend showing us around Valencia not just a tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills. He made our experience personal like we were part of his family. We normally use Rick Steves walking tours form his books or audio guides when we first get to a city, but in this case, we invested a little in getting a guide. We are 100% happy with our decision and Marcos was the reason why. Thank you Marcos! By the way the restaurant you recommended was incredible. Thanks again!Marcos the Magnificent

What a great tour - I did a private tour so just the 2 of us and we covered everything… from deep questions about history to the best restaurants to go to. We hit all areas of the city and adjusted to my pace… which is a bit faster. I would not only recommend, but would do it again as I am sure there are many more stories that I would enjoy.Awesome day

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

We had a great tour with Cesar. The communication with the meeting point was all clear and Cesar was incredibly knowledgeable and proud of Valencia. He asked us what we liked and how much local info we wanted to hear, which was great.
The food stops were places that were generally used by locals and his recommendations were great. He also explained why he’d chosen the dishes and their connection to Valencia. Cesar has a great sense of humour and it felt as though we were with a friend rather than a tour guide on another booking.
We would recommend Cesar’s tour to anyone who loves Spanish food and wants to expand their knowledge. Thank you Cesar! Amazing food tour of Valencia

Marcos gave us a great tour. He had difficult circumstances with the holiday and the power cut but coped with a smile and adapted the tour to suit us. Loved the history and the architecture. Marcos is easy to talk to and it felt more like a friend taking us around the city. He also sent us a load of information and photos afterwards which was helpful for our next few days. Only comment is that it would have been useful to know that some places were closed on a public holiday as we didn’t realise that and may have chosen a different day - but it was not a problem - only reason for a 9 not a 10.
I really love Withlocals and try to use it whenever we are in a new city. Super Tour!

Too many our guides simply just tell you facts, such as the date of this building and the name of that building etc.; facts that one forgets within a few hours after the tour. Mimoza instead tells you what Valencia is about, tells you interesting stories about Valencia and explains the background about what you are viewing; stories that linger in the memory. And she is such a delightful and entertaining person. First rate. Amazing tour guide
