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 met up with Marcos for our hidden gems tour of Valencia, and it was an absolutely superb day. 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!

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 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. Couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you. Great tour of Valencia

We just arrived to Valencia and booked a tour with Marcos to learn more about the city. Marcos made a great tour, highlighting both interesting historic moments and modern city life. We asked him for some additions to the tour (e.g. we were interested in the Jewish history in Valencia) and Marcos did it brilliantly. We highly recommend Marcos as the guide! Great tour

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 had a fabulous walking tour of the city of Valencia and learnt so much about the city and understood it so much more after the tour. We got insights into the history, architecture, culture, street art. food and saw things we would never have found on our own. He pointed out things that we then saw more of throughout the weekend and gave us really good suggestions of things to do over our time in Valencia. Thanks so much! Would HIGHLY recommend!

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. Totally recommend!Great Bike Tour

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

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

Our group of 10 experienced the “Highlights Hidden Gem Tour” with Marcos on September 3, 2024 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. Fun and Informative

Punctual, entertaining and very relaxed, he timed the tour to end at a lovely restaurant that he recommended for us, and looked after us when we weren't able to get to the restaurant due to an incident.Valencia hidden gems

Marcos is indeed a friendly teacher. My daughter and I took his bike tour our first full afternoon in Valencia when we were jet-lagged and foggy-headed, but he made us forget all that with his engaging presentation. He is very knowledgable about the city and its history and has lots of interesting supplemental photos to share on his tablet. He has a very pleasant manner and is a lot of fun to be with. He clearly wants you to experience the tour that is right for you and your interests. Our tour had to be cut a little short because of a thunderstorm, and Marcos did everything he could to try to reschedule us sometime in his very busy week. Unfortunately, this didn't work out, but was more than made up for by his list of excellent restaurants, which saved us so much time and searching and really added to our trip. We highly recommend you take any tour with Marcos, you will enjoy it immensely.Great bike tour with Marcos

Op onze eerste dag in Valencia nam Marcos ons mee op een verkenningstocht die vertrok in de oude stad en eindigde in de Stad van de Kunsten en Wetenschappen ! Onderweg kregen we op een zeer aangename manier de nodige informatie over de bezienswaardigheden en werden onze vragen beantwoord. Marcos kent zijn stad ! Op de koop toe ontvingen we nog een aantal goede tips om ons de dagen erna culinair te laten verwennen.De moeite waard !
