Eli_C, Aug 2026

Fantastic tour!

We couldn’t think of anything that would have made this experience any better! Dani was our tour guide and did an excellent job explaining the history of Valencia. We were able to see and learn about different places we could visit more thoroughly while we’re here. The wine and tapas were fantastic! Everything was very private with only 12 people. We had numerous delicious tapas and tried several glasses of wine with full pours. He also gave us tips on being in Valencia - things we should do and things to be cautious of. I would highly recommend this experience with Dani!

From Valencia: Day Tour in Peniscola, Game of Thrones

danceismypulse, Aug 2026

Amazing Guides, Beautiful Scenery, Wonderful Memories

My excursion to Castillo de Peñíscola was one of the highlights of my trip to Valencia! The tour guides were absolutely fantastic, and our driver (Danny) was friendly, professional, and made the whole trip enjoyable. They took so many photos of me and everyone in the group, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about capturing every moment ourselves. Traveling in mini vans instead of a large tour bus made the excursion feel much more personal and intimate. It was a great way to explore without feeling like part of a huge crowd. As a solo traveler it can be intimidating but the guides made me feel safe, checked-in on me, and made sure I never lost the group. Peñíscola Castle is absolutely beautiful and well worth visiting. I also met some wonderful people on this tour, which made the day even more memorable. Everyone involved was fun, kind, respectful, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Even if you are not a "Games of Thrones" fan, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Valencia!

Albufera Natural Park Tour from Valencia: Boat Ride & Local Guide

David_I, Aug 2026

The tour was excellent...

The tour was excellent and the guides knowledge incredible. Stunning views across the albufera both from land on the boat while learning about the history and current use of the locations. It was incredible to see the sunset from the boat across the waters. Did have a bit of a wait (30mins) for it while out on the water in the heat, but I imagine you get there early to get a good spot and the tour can’t start later or other points at the start would be unavailable. Was still overall an incredible 5* experience.

From Valencia: Montanejos Thermal Spring & Girlfriend Waterfall

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 .

If you can only do one tour Valencia, do this one.

We had an amazing time. Mike was an engaging guide and immediately created a sense of community within the group. We visited a beautiful waterfall before heading to the thermal pools. Mike's place was equipped with plenty of space for folks to change and store their belongings and even had water shoes and noodles and swim boards for everyone. The waters were so refreshing and Mike took us to the best spots. I could have stayed there all day. After, we had a delicious lunch. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

Essentials of Valencia and its World Heritage Sites

Priya_S, May 2026

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.

Seafood Paella cooking class Sangria workshop & Local Market

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!!
