A great introduction to the city - Despite the heat, our guide Gabor gave us a nice gentle introduction to the history and culture of this fabulous city.
He was knowledgeable, humorous and friendly and although not a native of Valencia his love for the city was apparent.
He's left us with suggestions of what we might do in the next couple of days before we leave...beach, parks, markets, museums, horchata etc

Essential to know València - Super informative. Our guide, Sara, explained where we were and why each landmark was important - really enjoyed understanding the culture of Valencia from as far back as BC times. It was essential to appreciate all the things around us. Sara made it possible to visit special events - suggest going on a Thursday to see the Tribunal de les Aigües. To add, her English was excellent to best understand.

Beautiful Valencia. - Valencia, an underrated city with a wonderful history, great people, and spectacular sites. Our group tour was just right for the first day and our guide Sara was phenomenal. Walked us to some of the most historical spots and provided enough context for us to appreciate the importance of Valencia.

Good, interesting tour of the best parts of Old Valencia - This tour was taken by myself and 3 friends. It was an immersive experience covering some of the best cultural hotspots of Valencia’s historical centre. Our guide explained lots about the sites we visited and all in all it was a really interesting tour enjoyed by all 4 of us.

Group way to big....check group size before booking! - We were sad to leave the tour after the second stop. We were frustrated with the size of the tour (30 people!).
The guide, Sofi was amazing: perfect English, knowledgeable, well prepared but due to the size of the group we could not hear her on the busy streets of Valencia.
