Valencia Old Town Tour with Wine & Tapas in 11th Century Historic Monument

Santiago_R, Apr 2026

Words and pics can’t do this experience justice. It is a must in València and you will never forget it.

I have traveled quite a few countries/cities in Europe and I have been to many tasting tours. Many enjoyable ones and some not as good. I must say this wine & tasting tour was truly my favorite hands down. Our guide showed us the Crown Jewels of old town and gave us a great education on the historical significance of this beautiful city. Then she proceeded to over indulge us with treats and libations. On top of that this trip was a significant one for me and my family for we were there to celebrate the birthdays of my younger sister and our mother who are a week apart. The tapas, drinks, and the meal were not only of the highest quality and delectability but also the people/family we were grouped with were some of the most pleasant people I have randomly met on a tour ever. We engaged in beautiful conversations that would cover our family history, politics, and religion in a setting/venue that is unmatched in comfort, artistry, and beauty. My language in this review is very flowery because I don’t know how else to match my emotion and appreciation for this experience. It is a must if you visit Valencia. Enjoy and godbless.

Real Paella Cooking Class – Market Visit & Sangría Workshop

Estrella_B, Mar 2026

This experience will be remembered :)

I did this tour two summers ago while in Spain and I still think about this class often. So much fun making the paella!! They give you unlimited drinks too and applies and honestly, that was a nice surprise. Some tours are quite stingy with the extras. So this was wonderful! And of course, the paella was AMAZING! Definitely do it!!

Paul_K, Mar 2026

Came for the Paella but blown away by the cake

Came to this class to learn how to make paella, which we did, and it was a great experience, but my favorite thing was learning how to make a Valencia “cocoa,” which is cake. Very simple recipe that is very versatile and very delicious. We also learned how to make a tortilla Española. Well worth it. Wonderful experience.

It was fantastic! Our tour guide was very sweet. We were taken to the San Jose Caves and she made sure we got there in time to enjoy some shopping and a cup of coffee and snack before the tour started. It was a relaxing tour in a boat.

Patricia_L, Nov 2025

Wonderful cooking class - highly recommend!

This cooking class was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Spain. Guillermo (?) led our market visit, and Jose and Christine were the fantastic chefs who taught our class. They are absolute stars! We opted for the seafood paella option, and all the participants had a chance to prepare the ingredients and cook. Jose gave great instructions and lots of useful tips, and Christine showed us how to make delicious sangria. They had a great rapport and really seemed to enjoy teaching. We enjoyed meeting the other participants, and there was great conversation and a lot of laughter. We highly recommend this class!!

Comprehensive Informative tour

Learned many interesting facts about the Nord train station- and then began our walk toward the Catbedral stopping and learning many interesting facts. Because is was a Thursday our guide made sure we arrived just before noon at the Cathedral in order to experience the an event that has been for the past hundreds of years every Thursday at 12 in the back of the church. The 9 districts meet outside to discuss any water issues between the communities. It was the first time a woman took part. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the several sites. Her friendly manner with her sense of humor made it a fun, informative tour. A unique site was looking at below ground Roman bath ruins that were covered with a glass cover and then water on top so that it was possible to see them. When we ended at the market she stayed and answered everyone’s where to go next questions and even emailed us restaurant suggestions. I highly recommend this comprehensive informative tour.
