Onze, mijn dochter en ik, afspraak stond op zondag om 10.00 uur gepland. Deze tijd kwam onms eigenlijk niet goed uit en appte Cesar met de vraag of dit wat later kon. Dit bleekl geen probleem. Cesar is een prettige man die graag vertelt over Valencia en je probeert mee te nemen in zijn verhalen. Wat hem goed lukt.Sympathiek en enthousiast

I had a great “Hidden Gems of Valencia” tour with Marcos. He was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He even had an iPad with him to share some additional historical pictures and information about some of the sites. After the tour, Marcos sent a recap of the locations we visited as well as some local favorite spots for Valencia beverages and food. I highly recommend booking a tour with Marcos….you will glad you did! Jane G.

We had the absolute pleasure of a private tour with Marcos through the charming Old Town of Valencia, and it was an experience we’ll never forget! From the moment we started, Marcos’s passion for the city’s rich history shone through. He guided us on a leisurely walk, weaving in captivating stories that spanned from Valencia’s Roman origins all the way to its vibrant modern-day culture. His depth of knowledge was truly impressive – every corner, building, and street came alive with fascinating anecdotes and insights that kept us completely engaged and riveted throughout. What made it even better was the private setting, allowing us to ask questions freely and dive deeper into topics that interested us most. Marcos is the epitome of professionalism: punctual, friendly, and incredibly articulate. If you’re visiting Valencia and want a tour that’s informative, entertaining, and tailored just for you, we highly recommend Marcos without hesitation. He turned what could have been a standard sightseeing walk into an unforgettable historical adventure! Five stars all the way!An historical adventure with Marcos!

We had a great time with Marcos. In the time allotted, he took us to so many places and site. He gave us the rich history and knowledge of each stop. It was extremely hot, and he made small tweaks in the tour to ensure we were in the shade, stopped for water, and were doing ok overall. He engaged my 11 year old son and my 15 and 17 year old daughters. Fantastic Tour of Valencia!!!

We had a truly great tour with Marcos, and I recommend him with extremely high praise. He was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared a very thoughtful agenda for our afternoon tour. We asked him a ton of questions about history, architecture, and culture and he was eager to answer all of them. He generously went beyond the allotted time to make sure we saw everything on our list. I can’t imagine a better tour guide. Sign up with Marcos if you can. You won’t regret it!Fantastic tour with Marcos

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

The initial connect with Cesar over Whatsapp was very pleasant, it was very easy to find him at the meeting point. We started at the Fresh Market where he showed us some nice tastings that we would have never stopped for. Then we continued to a tapas shop accross the square were we had Paella and fried shrimps. We continued to see a few more sights, and also the Silk Exchange where Cesar shared interesting historical facts. Overall Cesar is a very friendly guide, he could be a bit more sharing on own initiative but we consider this a minor point. Lovely tour through Valencia

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. PS We covered a lot of the city so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk.Valencia with Guide Extraordinaire

30 May 2025

We are very happy with the experience with Jose. It was lovely to meet and take a walk through his neighborhood to his home together. A great way to start. When at Jose’s place, we were ready for action. But the whole experience was truly Spanish - relaxed, with no rush, no stress. Some dishes were prepared ahead of time, others we made together from scratch. It was a perfect combo of cooking, tasting, chatting, learning, and laughing. We were a family of three visiting Jose, with a six-year-old daughter. Jose did a great job engaging her as well. She got into the flow and wanted to help more and more towards the end. Relaxed,entertaining, delicious experience

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

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

Thank you for a wonderful tour Maria ! This tour was very suitable for wheelchair users.A fun and interesting tour with Maria
