Fantastic Host and Tour - What an amazing afternoon walking around Old Town València with our host Bogi. She was very knowledgeable about the history of this amazing town. The wine and tapas pairing in a unique private setting was equally spectacular. Bogi’s knowledge and appreciation of the wine was impressive. This is a highly recommended tour!

Excellent tour with good food/wine and company - Emma was a fablous host that gave us an informative tour of the old town. This was followed by lovely food catering for my wife who is vegetarian and really nice wine to accompany each course.
There were 8 of us and everyone was really good fun. We carried on as a group after the tour finished until late into the evening. Highly recommend this, you won't be disappointed.

You won't want to miss this one! - I couldn't recommend this tour enough! Our tour guide, Emma, was fabulous and so knowledgeable about the city of Valencia. I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free. They were so accommodating and made sure to have a gluten free version of what everyone else was eating. The wine and tapas were in abundance and definitely made the experience that much more fun. Everything was delicious and well worth the money. Book this tour now! Thank you, Emma, for a great experience and for teaching us about the history of Valencia.
