Very enjoyable tour given by Maria, a knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. Maria’s passion for Valencia’s history is very apparent. For us booking a private tour was a really good option as we had people with mixed abilities and a large tour would not have been a good experience. Highlights and hidden gems

We were a family group of 11 visiting Valencia for the first time (grandparents and grandkids included) and Maria did an exceptional job at providing historical context whilst keeping everyone interested with fun activities for the kids and teens. She came well prepared for the tour with games and pictures and was flexible enough throughout to allow for additional breaks and minor tour changes as necessary given the size of the Group. Would highly recommend anyone thinking of visiting Valencia to book a tour with Maria!Great Valencia tour with Maria!

Wij vonden de tour van Maria er interessant, want ze wist heel veel te vertellen over de stad en de geschiedenis. Ze heeft ons meegenomen naar 4 verschillende plekjes waar we een drankje en wat tapas hebben mogen proeven. Ze houdt rekening met dieetwensen waar nodig. Maria was een hele fijne gids, hierdoor hebben wij een hele leuk avond gehad en zullen we hier fijn op terug kijken. Intressante avond met lekker tapas

Our tour with Luciana was the highlight of Valencia! Beforehand, we were able to share our wishes, and Luciana took them into account perfectly! Besides the delicious food, she also knows a lot about fun neighborhoods and spots in Valencia that we otherwise would never have discovered. She’s very social, which makes it feel less like a tour and more like a friend simply showing you around the city. Afterwards, we even received a list of restaurant recommendations for the rest of the week. Truly fun for young and old, the time just flies by! Get a tour with Luciana!!!

We asked Luciana for a personalized guided food tour thru the old town of Valencia. We enjoyed 3h with her getting guided from one restaurant to another while listening to some of Valencia’s interesting stories. She is a nice person and it was lovely to spent the evening with her! We would ask her again the next time in Valencia. Personalized Food Tour

Before we commenced our tour with Luciana we exchanged WhatsApp messages re meeting up and she finished with “ Let’s have fun “ . That’s exactly what we had on this tour . We met at 7pm and essentially had a night out - food tasting and drinking in very well chosen tapas restaurants and bars . We finished off indulging in the local concoction Agua de Valencia - one jug wasn’t nearly enough . Fabulous night , fabulous tour Luciana is a terrific guide ! Highly recommended. Lets Have Fun !

If you're short on time but big on curiosity (and appetite!), Luciana is the guide you want in Valencia! My sister and I booked two private tours with her — a delicious food tasting and a full city exploration — and both were absolute highlights of our trip. It felt more like wandering the city with a fun, knowledgeable friend than following a traditional tour. Luciana tailored everything to our pace and interests, sprinkled in fascinating stories, and introduced us to mouthwatering local specialties we wouldn't have found on our own. We left Valencia with full bellies, happy hearts, and a whole lot of new favorite memories. Next time we're back, Luciana's leading the way again — no question. Highly, highly recommend!TastyBites & CitySights: Luciana Delights!

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

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

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...).

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!
