All I Can Say Is "WOW" - We first saw Kate on an episode of James in Spain on YouTube. My partner and I immediately thought she could be a great resource as we made our scouting trip to the area in preparation for our move later this summer. What Kate was able to provide us was worth every Euro. Before we even got started, Kate had us meet via WhatsApp and did a great job of finding our hot buttons. More importantly, she helped us (me, specifically) broaden our thinking about where we thought we wanted to be in Spain. While not discouraging some of the communities our research had led us to, she gave us some local insight that helped us ultimately eliminate some of those areas from our prospective home search. She also gave us some ideas to help us open our thinking and boy, am I glad she did. In fact, one of those towns she recommended is now the epicenter of our home search. Kate picked us up on time from the hotel and gave us a quick tour around town. She was attentive to our needs. Specifically, we didn't want our limited time to be consumed with tourist stuff. That will come, but this trip was not that. She then pointed us north of Valencia and introduced my partner and me to a world that we fell in love with. But it wasn't all work and no play. Kate took us to supper at a local restaurant where we enjoyed our first authentic Valencian paella. With the croquettes and other tapas, we were well fed to continue our journeys. At one point, my partner and I noted that Kate is very much “our kind” of people - great sense of humor, well versed in her craft, and someone who is fun to be around. Notably, Kate helped me figure out how to order coffee that wasn't a latte. For us hard-core, old-school coffee drinkers that's of utmost importance. We certainly logged some kilometers as we toured Sagunto, Porto Sagunto, Puzol, El Puig de Santa Maria and more. Kate's local knowledge was invaluable in helping us understand some of the local culture, terminology and generally - how things work. While we’ve been doing tons of internet research, the day with Kate gave us more good info than weeks of YouTube videos. So, all I can say is Wow. Kate far exceeded our expectations and I hope she becomes part of our circle of friends when we finally get settled in.

A day to treasure - Nicole was an excellent guide. Her knowledge added so much to what we were seeing and experiencing. She blended the day with walking through shopping area and then important historical museums. The icing on the cake was going out to Albuferia for paella. A wonderful day.

Amazing, kid-friendly experience! - I traveled to Valencia by way of a cruise, with my Mom and my 2.5 year old, jet lagged toddler. He decided it was a good day to be a total pill, but our guide, Sonia, was a godsend. She was patient and kind and accommodating and very knowledgeable. If we make it back to Valencia, we will be booking another tour with Sonia, for sure! Traveling with a toddler is already stressful, and we have definitely had some guides who were not kid-friendly - Sonia was a breath of fresh air, and made at least one of our travel days a little less stressful and a little more relaxed. I'm forever grateful!

Complete Valencia Immersion! - In Spanish and English We absolutely loved our tour with Josep. Hands down within 5 minutes, we couldn't stop talking the entire day. He was professional, courteous, and well knowledged of all things Valencia. He absolutely catered to our needs of all the things we wanted to see in the city and outside of the city. We barely did anything touristy with the tour itself as we wanted more information on neighborhood & areas, and getting a sense of daily living in Valencia. We moved here only a week before this tour. He spoke perfect English and Spanish as I. I am sure Josep will make your tour as exciting and informative in away that pertains to you. I'm quite sure we'll become friends with him. He was very laid and casual throughout the day. Know ahead of time what it is you want from the tour, and tell that to your tour guide. I highly recommend this company 100%. We loved our tour with Josep. Without a doubt, in 5 minutes with him and we could not stop talking throughout the day. He was Pro, courteous and knew everything about Valencia well. He absolutely met our needs for all the things we wanted to see in the city and outside the city. We hardly did anything touristy. Our intention was that we wanted more information about the neighborhood areas and to get an idea of daily life in Valencia. We moved here just a week before this tour. He speaks perfect English and Spanish like me. I am sure that Josep will make your tour as exciting and informative as it relates to you. I surely know we'll become friends with him. It was also very quiet and casual throughout the day. Make sure in advance what you want from the tour and tell your Guide your reasons. I highly recommend this tour company 100%.

A wonderful informative full day tour of Valencia! - This experience was one of the best tours I've been on in my many trips to Spain. Josep was an absolute rock star. We started very early, drove around many points in and around Valencia, shared stories of our love for Spain and Valencia and other aspects of our lives. We then stopped at a beach front cafe for a coffee and a look at a map to see what we had covered and how different parts of Valencia are situated. We walked and drove around some more after our coffee stop, and around lunch time we hit a restaurant for a nice lunch and break from the sun lol. After lunch we ventured around the Arts and Science area and checked on public transportation stops and stations, as I'm always interested in jumping on a bus or train like a local and seeing the cities from that vantage point. It was an all day tour, so a lot of information, a lot of questions, some walking some driving, a lot of talking.... but I feel way more informed about beautiful Valencia than I did before my trip there. Josep was patient, funny, very easy going and easy to talk to, he was very familiar with Valencia and it's surrounding areas, and overall just a good person to have as a guide and as a mentor on the many things that make up Spain. If you are interested in learning about the different neighborhoods of Valencia and the mixed cultures that make up the city, sign up for either a half day or full day tour. You can't go wrong either way.

Amazing full day tour of Valencia - My wife and I spent a full day with Kate on the Valencia Lifestyle tour. We had so much fun and learned so much about Valencia! Kate is amazing! Not only is Kate a really fun person to spend a day with, but she also really knows her stuff. She told us everything we would ever need to know about all the different neighborhoods in Valencia and the surrounding area with a lot of history information mixed in. We have already recommended Valencia Private Tours to friends who are traveling to the region and would definitely look to book additional tours with them on future visits.

Great experience - Vincent was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the tour very much. He went above and beyond to give us the best experience

A wonderful and customized experience in Valencia - We had a wonderful experience visiting Valencia and the surrounding area orchestrated by the experienced guides Sonia, Claire and Nicole. Besides visiting Valencia we went to Alcala del Jucar, Teruel and Alabrracim. If you are looking for different and customized experiences, I highly recommend the services of Valencia Private Tours.

Excellent experience - Javier was excellent. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We truly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.

Fun, Fun Fun - Simply amazing; ask for Sonya — she is so knowledgeable, interesting and adds humor! She’s a must to get the most!
