Family of five took a Valencia food tour with Cesar. We were difficult. Food allergies and some individual dislikes. The whole way he made us feel at ease, customizing the your and sharing his favorite versions of some of the region's famous foods. Along the way, he shared lots of history, other stories, and gave the city a real sense of color. Knowledgeable and friendly guide

We did two tours with Maria: a general guide around the centre of Valencia taking in (amongst others): Central Market; Silk Exchange; the palace housing the ceramics museum as well as a number of churches. The second, foodie tour focussed mainly around the narrow streets of the northern central part of the city (Barrio del Carmen) taking in on the way the Cathedral and Basilica, Parroquia de San Nicolas and Torres de Serranos. We thoroughly enjoyed Maria’s description of the buildings as well as some of the city’s history. We had three food stops taking in, amongst others, a small former pharmacy turned into a barInsightful tour, lovely lady

Time went by very quickly. Cesar is very sympathetic and clearly a food expert. We especially loved the food market. A pity that we had no time in Valencia to cook our own meal. But we most certainly will come back and continue this food journey😄 Thank you Cesar for your hospitality!Awesome food and sightseeing tour

We had an awesome tour with Danny. He is knowledgeable and personable and clearly knows and enjoys showing the sights of Valencia. We did 10 Tastes of Valencia which was interspersed with Danny’s knowledge of local cuisines together with the history of the city. We had great conversations and would recommend Danny’s tours to anyone wanting to get more deeply into this beautiful city. Top Valencia Experience

En: it’s nice to have a tour trough Venice with someone how knows the ins and outs of this city. Thanks to her my mom could be able to rest in between the walks. NL: het was leuk om een tour te krijgen door Venecië gegeven door iemand die er ruim 40 jaar woont. Een echte reiziger die haar uitleg goed visueel weet te maken. Extra dank je wel voor het behapbaar houden voor mijn moeder, die wat minder goed te been is. Ze had nog energie over om uit eten te gaan en nog wat te doen. Maria was great! Maria is geweldig!

We have done the tapas experience tour with Velentín. He showed us around the great beautiful old city and told us about history, the typical things of the Valencia people but what we enjoyed most of all he let us TASTE València! It was a experience of tasting, with a begin and an end. He built it up from sweet to savoury and with the most tasteful drinks it was great! We asked him to talk in Spanish because we have Spanish lessons, but when he thought we didn't understand it, he explained more in English. It happend very naturally. Valentín is very friendly, calm and relaxed person to talk with. He gave us tips for the next day, so we went to the market, you have to see it! We enjoyed Valencia and learned a lot from Valentín. Good food, good places and good Spanish! Thank you Valentín We enjoyed València and Valentín

to expensive for the experience we got. Valentin was late to the appointment and left early. The tapas food was great and we really enjoyed that part, but just picking out a few restaurants to go by for a tapas could be cheaper in our opinion.to expensive for the experience

Die Foodtour war insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis dank des sympathischen Guides. Allerdings war ich etwas enttäuscht von der begrenzten Anzahl an Restaurants, die wir besucht haben. Es gab definitiv Raum für mehr kulinarische Vielfalt. Die Tour war etwas auf Alkohol ausgelegt, obwohl zwei von vier von uns nichts trinken. Es gab leider kaum Flexibilität - zumindest hat der Guide weder vor der Tour noch währenddessen unsere Wünsche abgefragt.Toller Guide aber zu wenig Stationen

let's get straight to it: Valentine had his work cut out from the start- torrential rain in January when some of his first choices for the tour were closed. he, however, rose to the occasion with great choices and interesting facts which turned what could have been a damp squib of an event into a fun and informative tour.a wet success

Our guide Maria was great and gave us a good introduction to a lot of features in the old town as well as being ready and able to answer questions on a number of topics about the city. The various food stops were all busy (proving just how good they were) but spaces had been pre-booked for us. Maria had selected a great set based upon her detailed knowledge, prior visits to them (and many others) and a deep interest in the subject. A first-class experience.A superb food tour

Maria is definitely the guide to be chosen for a food tour in Valencia. Her background knowledge about history and architecture knocked me off. And beside that her excellent choose of places to go to her pick of tapas and wines were pitch perfect. No rush throughout the evening with a relaxing woman with English on a native speaking quality. Thanks again and this tour I’ll surely recommend for my friends and family. Maria , thanks for this wonderful evening

Danny was very engaging and right from the beginning wanted to make sure he would deliver what we were looking to experience. He asked about our likes and dislikes and scoped out the itinerary to make sure he could accommodate our needs. Very knowledgeable and knows the local landscape and history of the city as he is highly educated. At the end of the tour he sent us numerous other events and spots to visit. I would highly recommend Danny as a guide that cares.A great experience with Danny

Met us right on time and gently guided us around eateries ending with agua de Valencia (something we had not come across before). Certainly went to places we would not have found. Valentin also helped us book a table at a very popular restaurant that we would have struggled to get on our ownVery helpful

Organisation of booking by the company was a bit hit and miss; the guide I booked left the company, Maria stepped in but the company seemed unaware and tried to cancel our tour? Maria was wonderful. Lovely person, on time, full of knowledge, very engaging. We were the only 4 people on the tour which is not the tours fault. We stopped at the first 2 places, which were excellent and we did go back to both later in the week. I have done over a dozen food tours, and I would say the downside of this one was the lack of food. We booked at 8pm as usually you eat so much, even in tapas that it is your evening meal, but not on this tour sadly. We couldn't go to the other 2 places due to horrendous rain so Maria had to improvise which wasn't her fault. I would say this is the most expensive food tour I have done for the least food eaten...but the guide was fabulous.Fab guide but needed more food

We were a group of 4, only 1 of which, had visited the city before. Our With Locals guide Maria, provided a perfect guide, showing us places of interest and great little tapas bars, that we wouldn't have found ourselves. For us the tour was informative, without being boring, and with the drinks and tapas, at perfect intervals, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you Maria! Although you may have got us addicted to Agua de Valencia. Great evening in Valencia old town
