Walk the talk - Good stories but it could have been more. The time between to stories was often a bit to long.
Overall nice and entertaining

Interesting, friendly and arranging - The guide showed me all the city with historical explanations and he knowed particularities of buildings. He was very friendly and could speak many languages with me. He was very kind because he could postpone the appointment because I was ill.

Informative and fun! - Enrique was amazing. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. He was punctual and kept us moving along. He answered so many questions and gave us great insights into the cultural and historical nuances of the Valencian people. It was a great tour and we learned a lot. It’s a beautiful city full of art, architecture, a rich history and delicious food. We highly recommend it!
