Cesar took great care of us during a tour of the Turia gardens and the city of arts and sciences. A very complete explanation of everything, great chats in between and some breaks at the right time. He really felt how the group was and acted accordingly. A great guide with perfect knowledge of the place!A great afternoon with Cesar

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

We booked a 5-hour tour of Valencia, and it was an amazing experience! Our guide was incredibly friendly and shared fascinating stories about the city's history and development. He showed us many wonderful sights and made the tour engaging and enjoyable. We learned so much and truly appreciated his insights. Overall, it was a fantastic way to explore Valencia, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to discover the city in depth!Valencia at its best!

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

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...). Really perfect experiencePerfect guide :-) Love for Valencia

The tour with Marcos was a highlight of València. We really enjoyed how engaging and knowledgeable Marcos was, the three hours flew by and we learned so much about the city. It really gave us a greater appreciation for the city. You can’t appreciate how nice it is to have a small group tour tailored for your questions and interests until you do it. Our only regret is that we did it on our last night of our trip because Marcos had many great local recommendations for places to eat and visit.Awesome tour

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!

We did the Culinary Kickstart Tour with Mimoza and it was truly a magical experience beyond just a city tour. We not only leaned some fun facts about the city, enjoyed culinary highlights but also took away some memorable wisdoms about life itself. We really enjoyed the vibe during the tour and would fully recommend to people who like to embrace experienced beyond the ordinary. Thank you so much Mimoza for being an unforgettable gem to our Valencia trip 💛Magical day with Mimoza ✨

What a fantastic 3.5 hours. A superb teacher who brought the old and the new of Valencia to life. A history lesson, recommendations on where to go by ourselves and Spanish lessons for my daughter as we toured the highlights of this beautiful city. I felt very sorry for the packed generic tours .. whilst we had a totally bespoke tour catering to exactly what we wanted to learn, taste in the market and plan for other days. We regularly use guides whenever we visit cities .. but Marcos stands out! Amazing afternoon .. thank you so much. No better guide .. Marcos is amazing!

Marcus was very informative, easy to chat to, and able to answer our questions we had along the way… he is very knowledgeable not only about València’s history but also he is great at recommending places to eat and other sites that we could visit in our own time… I would highly recommend taking your tour with MarcosA great day!

We hebben gisteren een geweldige rondleiding gehad van Marcos. Omdat we eerder in Valencia zijn geweest en hier wat langer verblijven hadden we de wens om weg te blijven van de highlights van Valencia, maar juist de wat meer verborgen juweeltjes te zien. Het werd een zeer bijzondere en informatieve wandeling naar plekken die we anders zeker niet hadden ontdekt. Met veel interessante verhalen over de stad. En naderhand nog vele goede tips opgestuurd gekregen. Kortom: Marcos is top!!Een geweldige rondleiding!

Had an amazing experience, highly recommend it to anyone interested in cooking and eating great food! It was our first time doing a cooking class and we were deciding between this or a larger group class and I'm very glad we chose this. Jose went above and beyond to make a truly educational and fun experience, the food and drink was delicious and we learned more about Valencian culture in an afternoon with him than we did in our other 3 days in the city. Amazing experience, highly recommend!

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

We had a tour of Valencia with Mimoza today. With the Fallas Festival going on I’m sure that it made things difficult for Mimoza. But I have to say that she put on a fantastic tour. My wife and I both loved seeing Valence with Mimoza. We learned so much about the history and culture of Valencia that we didn’t know and that we wouldn’t have learned except from someone who lives here. If you are coming to Valencia and want to see some of the city with someone who is warm and friendly see the city with Mimoza. Amazing tour!!!

Maria was a great guide for València. She was extremely knowledgeable about the architecture styles of the city and her passion for this came through in the tour. She took us to spots we would not have found on our own. We really enjoyed the tour with Maria and would look her up if we return.

One of the best experiences we booked during our 16-day vacation through Spain and Portugal! My husband and I love to cook and entertain, so this is right up our alley… and with a Michelin trained chef made it so much more special. It is without a doubt that Jose loves what he does. Incredibly talented. The sangria, Galician octopus, paella… all incredibly delicious. He also taught us a little Valèncian history. Memorable 5 star experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Maria was super knowledgeable about the history of Valencia with laminates to back up her information in pictorial fashion. The best part of the tour was diving into multiple buildings that we thought were private or at the very least charged for entrance! Her knowledge of architecture was encyclopaedic. Friendly and very knowledgable

Mike was the perfect fit for our tour.

He helped us make the most of our time, and left us wishing we had more time in the city. We can't wait to return to Valencia!Perfect Day in Valencia

I have been to Valencia many times for work, but Mimoza shared another side of the city that we have never seen. We really enjoyed learning about a more magical aspect of the city, with a greater understanding of the history and how it has influenced the people of Valencia. Mimoza is a great guide and we enjoyed every minute of our tour.

Valentin was my guide, he is a also a very good a photographer and so was able to adapt to my requirements with ease. He is very Knowledgeable and great to chat to and get along with. His English is very good which made life very easy for me. I had a great 3 hours in his company and would thoroughly recommend booking him.El Cabanyal tour

Maria is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We learned a lot about the artists and specific images we had been walking by all week. There is so much graffiti and paintings in Valencia. Choosing what to view and discuss is a challenge. We became more observant after the tour. We would like to know more about the relationships between those who paint images and those who paint script and initials only. Also, we also want to know more about those who choose own walls to paint and those who are paid by property owners to paint on their gates and walls. Great context for art we see
