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

Nick_B, Jul 2026

Phenomenal walking tour and wine & tapas experience! A must do!

Our host and tour guide Paula was exceptional. She was very knowledgable and well-informed and educated us on a walking tour around Old Town Valencia. That part alone would suffice, but it was followed by a wonderful meal with tapas and wines from around Spain! We had our 11-year-old daughter with us who Paula made feel right at home with the adults. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Valencia!

Beverly_D, Jun 2026

Great day out well worth booking

Great trip . Think it would be a good idea to tell travellers to meet at the coffee shop near the football stadium as we were not sure we were in the right place . The bus was great fully air conditioned. First stop waterfalls would recommend trainers as it’s a steep walk down and you can climb higher . After that lunch in the square lovey really nice sandwiches reasonable price . There are natural water fountains to fill water bottles at the waterfall and the pools . Very windy roads to the top so if you are travel sick you need to prepare for this . Tour guide was all prepared for this with plastic bags we did have someone v sick she was brought to the front of the bus and was better . I get travel sick but had a tablet and was fine . Waterfall was nice and the pools lovely nice swim right amount of time in each place . Changing rooms at the pools and toilets and a small shop . Surprise stop was beautiful as well . Our guide was amazing speaking 5 languages very organised friendly and knowledgeable so helpful . The photographer was also really nice taking lots of pictures and of course we had an amazing bus driver . Really enjoyable day worth the money .

Visit the San Jose Caves while in Valencia, Spain

This was a nice way to see Valencia outside of the city and experience the magical feeling inside the San Jose Caves. Ferran was our English guide and he did a great job explaining things during the journey to the Caves. Our driver also did a good job and we felt safe and comfortable. Devices were provided so you only heard the information in your chosen language. Everything was well timed and organized. Ferran and his colleague clearly explained the when and where for everything which kept the group moving along nicely. The Caves and boat ride are truly an experience worth making time for. First time ever for us in any caves and this was the perfect choice.

Paella and Vino - Perfecto!

This was an absolutely brilliant experience- we not only learned the history of Paella and how to properly prepare it, we shared the time with people from five other countries. We also learned how to cook traditional Spanish omelette and sponge cake for dessert. Pair those with wine and Sangria and it’s as good as it gets!

Essentials of Valencia and its World Heritage Sites

Good tour of Valencia

Gabor was a great and knowledgeable guide who showed us some great parts of the city and helped to orient us to Valencia. The tour helped us figure out where to spend most of our time and Gabor had some good recommendations for how to make the most of our trip. Only issue with the trip is that it was a very loud day (St. Mary’s festival) and so the city was extremely chaotic. We could not really hear Gabor for parts of it unless we were inside and that made it tough. Wish the tour had headphones included to hear guide better.

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!!
