Vielen Dank an Marcos für diese wunderbare Führung. Wir waren alle begeistert von dem Wissen und seiner sympathischen Art. Marco ist auch ganz toll auf unsere 11-jährige Tochter eingegangen und hatte auf alle unsere Fragen eine Antwort. Es waren sehr informative, spannende und einfach tolle Stunden. Man merkt, dass Marcos aus Valencia ist und wir lieben diese Stadt jetzt noch mehr.Ganz wunderbar

We chose Marcus after watching his short video, his English is perfect and he gave us the most memorable tour of Valencia, he asked us at the start what our interest were and the type of things that interest us the most, then tailored the tour to match our requirements. Can’t thank him enough for a most interesting afternoon. Thanks so much, Richard 👍WOW WOW WOW, what a fantastic tour

We had an amazing walking tour of Valencia with Maria. She is incredibly knowledge about the history, architecture, and culture of Valencia. She was able to quickly determine our particular interests and based our tour on the things we were most interested in. Maria’s love of her city made our time together a complete joy. I highly recommend Maria as a wonderful tour guide.Great walking tour with Maria

Valentin did a great job introducing us to Valencia. We did a tour with just the four of us. It combined a little history and a little food. Valentin gave us useful information and introduced us to Horchata and tapas. We loved the tapas place so much that we returned there to eat again. I would recommend Valentin as a tour guide and would tour with him again. Thank you!Great Overview of Valencia

Danny was a great guide fluent in multiple languages and with an extensive knowledge of local history. He was able to give us many food and drink recommendations, which was very appreciated. If you'd like a guide who can engage in conversations of all kinds along the way, Danny is your man!Danny Knows All!

Danny is a very kind person, he knows quite a lot about Valencia and speaks his languages.
He was patiently waiting for us since we were a bit late and led us through the city while telling interesting stories.
I would highly recommend Danny!
Thank you again, and good luck with the writing, the poems and the music!
Very kind guide!

Danny did the perfect job introducing Valencia to our family that included (and at times inpatient) 3 kids. Besides educating us with the rich history, he was patient, accommodating, and friendly. Most importantly we NEVER felt rushed and he slowed down to matched our kids pace (Starbucks and candy were also a highlight :-) due to the super hot summer heat. Our kids can be a bit shy with strangers, but Danny kept them involved, had jokes, made it interactive and by the end of the tour he completely won them over! Thank you Danny for your passion and talent! After the tour my kids said “mom he was pretty good, he deserves not 5 but 10 stars!” Just whay we needed!

Slower pace than what we expected.
Explanations given were not as detailed as those given by other guides we encountered.
This tour could have been covered in much less than 3 hours.
We realize that it was harder to navigate streets because of the Fallas festivities.
Perhaps use a microphone as we had a hard time hearing the guide.Walking tour of Valencia

Thank you Maria.
I had a fantastic tour with you and you covered every area of the centre brilliantly. Maria is very knowledgable and knows a lot of facts about the history of Valencia and the art and architecture of all the historic landmarks and buildings which was perfect and exactly what I was looking for on my day tour to Valencia. Fantastic tour!

Awesome 3hrs tour with a great guy. Marcos is so full of information, pays a lot of attention to detail while listening to our interests, adjusting the tour on the go. The tour virtually flew by, leaving us with a list of things to do for the rest of the day (and evening).
Marcos' passion for his city is amazing and we are grateful for all the insights he shared with us.Valencia at it's best

Marcos was well prepared for our tour. He carried pictures, maps and graphs for nearly every building in the city on his tablet. Talked about the history of the city and spain itself. We strolled through the tiniest streets, we would have never discovered ourself. The recommendations for his favourite restaurants, tapas places and bars did indeed not disappoint!
You can really feel that Marcos loves his city.
An absolute must for everyone new to the city.a perfect introduction to a beautiful city

We (family with 2 teenagers) are so happy we booked a tour with Marcos! It was the first time ever that we booked a tour with a guide. And we didn't regret. We had a lot of fun and really got to love Valencia. Marcos took the time to involve us all. And that can be a challenge with 2 teenage boys, but he succeeded.
Marcos told us very interesting facts and showed a lot of images which made the stories more lively. He also gave us a lot of good ideas about how to spend the rest of our time in Valencia: where to swim, what places to visit, where to eat, etc.
Marcos is really friendly and easy going. We all felt very comfortable with him.
We could not be happier. If you are going to visit Valencia, don't hesitate and book a tour with Marcos. In one word: WONDERFULL!

Marcos is an incredible tour guide. We were with him for an informative and delightful three hour tour of Valencia’s old town. In addition to a great tour, he followed up with a list of great restaurants, suggestions for surrounding cities, as well as information about events taking place in Valencia during our stay. My husband and I have done a number of Withlocals tours in various countries and Marcos’ tour was one of our favorites.

Drie uur liepen we mee met Marcos. Hoewel wij ons hadden ingelezen over het oude centrum en al twee dagen door het oude centrum hadden gelopen (ons huur appartement is er) en diverse hoogtepunten hadden gezien, kregen deze een heel nieuwe dimensie tijdens de wandeling door de informatie die Marcos vertelde. Heel interessant en boeiend. Het verveelde geen moment. We leerden een hoop over de geschiedenis van en enkele gebouwen in Valencia. Vriendelijk, informatief en effectief. Aanrader.Perfecte ochtendwandeling door het oude centrum van Valencia

Marcos was fantastic! Our family of 5 only had a couple of days in beautiful Valencia. We wanted Marcos to give us a good overview & some insider tips! We were only with Marcos for 3 hours, but would have happily enjoyed his company for much longer! He was super knowledgeable and passionate about Valencia and a joy to explore the city with. He suggested La Ruia for lunch and even made a reservation for us! It could not have been more perfect! Our 14 year old son says you definitely want to book Marcos for your tour in Valencia! Thank you Marcos!Valencia 21

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...).

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!
