Great introduction to the history of Valencia - David is absolutely amazing! Provided our group with insight into the history of Valencia in easily digestible bits of information. Recommend taking this tour the first day of your visit because he will suggest places of interest that expand on what you learn in his tour! We could’ve easily gone for more than 2 hours with him! Gracias David!

Unique perspective and newfound appreciation for Valencia - The tour with David gave us a completely new perspective of the city and made it so that during the rest of our stay in valencia we had a new found appreciation for Valencia's history. The tour was filled with all kinds of cool little facts that we wouldn't have picked up anywhere else. It was a very interesting experience and David was very friendly and accomodated us in any way possible. His English is excellent and I couldn't think of a way the tour could be any better. If you're pondering to take this tour, just do it, as early in your stay in Valencia as possible, it will enrich the rest of your stay in the city.

Very informative, totally recommended. - We did this as a couple and were in a small group in total about 5 of us as was in March 2023. Our guide was very personable with excellent English and very informative. It was about two hours and the walking was relatively flat. Valencia is a fascinating place. You go past ( but not really in…you will need to go back at your own pace) some important landmark buildings. I would recommend this tour. Thanks very much to our guide.

Just a lovely tour - València is a city with many layers. It well worth the time and the money to have someone show you where each layer is “hiding” in plain sight. He was informative, thorough and was happy to share his knowledge. What else can one ask for.!
