Tapas Tour in Valencia – A Must-Do Experience!

17 April 2025

We had an amazing time on the tapas tour in Valencia with our guide Maria. She was incredibly warm, welcoming, and shared so much interesting information about the city’s food culture and history. Each stop featured delicious tapas and perfectly paired drinks – truly some of the best we had during our stay! The whole experience was both fun and insightful. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Valencia!

Maria was the best! She made us feel right at home from the minute we met. She took us on a wonderful tour of this beautiful city and shared with us the best places to enjoy truly authentic Spanish dishes. By the end of the night, it felt as we had shared the night with a dear friend!

A superb food tour!

31 May 2024

Our guide Maria was great and gave us a good introduction to a lot of features in the old town as well as being ready and able to answer questions on a number of topics about the city. The various food stops were all busy (proving just how good they were) but spaces had been pre-booked for us. Maria had selected a great set based upon her detailed knowledge, prior visits to them (and many others) and a deep interest in the subject. A first-class experience.

Informative & Fun

29 May 2024

We had a great private tapas walking tour with Alex as there were 4 in our group. It was informative & fun with 5 delicious stops which included some items we’d never try if we were wandering by ourselves. Everything we had was great! Without spoiling the tour by naming all the items we tasted, the Agua de Valencia was so fresh… my favorite adult beverage of our Valencia trip. Thanks for making it a fun day for us and for being our photographer, Alex.
