I had a great “Hidden Gems of Valencia” tour with Marcos. He was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He even had an iPad with him to share some additional historical pictures and information about some of the sites. After the tour, Marcos sent a recap of the locations we visited as well as some local favorite spots for Valencia beverages and food. I highly recommend booking a tour with Marcos….you will glad you did!

Amazing Tour with Marcos
Marcos is passionate about his city, and knows everything about it. We had the best time with him, really enjoyed everything he had to share about his beautiful city, and I would highly recommend doing a tour with him. We will be referring as much business as we can his way - and next time we go to Valencia we will be doing another tour with him.
