Marcos was super personable, engaging and informative. He made the tour conversational and completely tailored to our interests. He went above and beyond expectations by adding photos and stories, and providing recommendations for the rest of our trip which proved very useful. He was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! The Best Guide!

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

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

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!

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

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

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!

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!

We were only in Valencia for a day so decided to book a tour with Cesar so we could see as much of this beautiful city as we could in the time we had. And so glad we did.
Cesar was so friendly and knowledgeable and showed us so much of Valencia we would have missed on our own.

We got insights into the history, architecture, culture, street art. food and saw things we would never have found on our own.

We can't say enough good about the amazing tour of Valencia with Marcos. He was the perfect host! We rode through the old town, stopping at sights along the way when Marcos would explain the history, culture, and meaning of each place. He used his ipad to show us photos of old Valencia and how it's grown to the city of today. We also biked through the center of the city and along the park bike path to the Opera House, Science Museum, and the CaixaForum. We felt like we saw so much of the city and really got an excellent overview of its history and geography. Marco answered all our many, many questions and sent us information about things to see and restaurants to visit - it was above and beyond. Plus Maroc's love of Valencia was enchanting and contagious and we now love Valencia, too.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic tour!The Perfect Day in Valencia with Marcos!

We booked a bike tour with Cesar to introduce beautiful Valencia to our friends who were visiting from Germany. Cesar was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He took us through parts of the old centre - stopping at various places of interest to explain the history. The ride through the Turia park leading towards Santiago Calatrava's stunning cultural leisure complex was great fun. On excellent cycle routs Cesar led us back to the old town where we stopped at the market hall. Being a chef by profession Cesar is also passionate about food and gave us some wonderful recommendations for places to eat which we tried in due course.

Marcos introduced his beautiful city of Valencia to our group of six in October. He kindly met us at our hotel and showed us round some of the key sights and streets of the city plus a few lesser-known ones. The tour ran over by 30 minutes as he was so keen that we didn’t miss out on anything. He also texted info to us afterwards about restaurants and local transport that was very helpful. The pace of the tour was perfect and the history and knowledge he shared was pitch perfect - giving context, interest and colour to everywhere we visited. His English was excellent so we never struggled to understand. Marcos has such warmth and passion for Valencia that we also fell a little in love with the city. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide.An exceptional guide

We confused our meet up time with Marcos by 1 hour but we were grateful Marcos was still able to lead us on our tour of Valencia without rushing us even though we had been late. Marcos' passion for his city and knowledge was evident as he proudly led us through the city’s historic area. He answered our many questions and was easy to understand and very pleasant. He arranged for our group to have lunch at one of his favorite restaurants. All enjoyed the paella, saying it by far was the best they had while in Spain. I highly recommend Marcos as a tour guide.
