What our customers say
Great Tour!
We just arrived to Valencia and booked a tour with Marcos to learn more about the city. Marcos made a great tour, highlighting both intresting 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!
A Gem!
I am Valencian by birth but have lived anbroad for most of my life. I occasionally returned to my roots and the capital city of my ancestral history. Maria made me discover parts and stories of the city I did not know and I will be forever grateful to her. She is kind and elegant in her way of describing the city’s history. In the evening of our visit we followed up on one of her dinner recommendations and it was everything we had hoped for. She is truly a gem.
Fantastic tour!
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.
Overview of Old Valencia
Maria was a great guide. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. Maria was very open to questions and walked at a nice pace. We really enjoyed our tour.
Maria - Truly a hidden gem of a guide
Our first time to Valencia so wanted to get some local knowledge & Maria our guide gave us this & more. Maria was on time with perfect English & was very friendly. We visited places we’d never have found & heard stories we never would have got from a guide book. Also gave us a great tip as to where to shop in the mercado for our serrano ham, restaurant tips. We visited places we would have just walked by. Introduced us to Horchata (a drink from tiger nuts). A great tour & highly recommended. So nice to walk around with just the two of us & not a large group. Thanks again Maria!
