Top Valencia Private Sightseeing Tours - page 6

Bogie gave us a leisurely taste of old Valencia (just six of us). Beautiful weather in December. Bogie was very knowledgable on the history of Valencia and very patient with all our questions. A sophisticated presentation of tapas and five Valencia wines was delightful. We felt very pampered. Bogie then took just two of us to the incredible City of Arts and Science area, before putting us in a cab to take us back to our ship. We look forward to future tours with Seagram, through Viator.

Very informative tour. Maria really knows her history of the area and its landmarks. She showed us many different and beautiful buildings in Valencia. This city has such charm and wonderful architecture. Definitely recommend this tour. Thanks again from Guy and Kimberly, Georgia, US

From start to finish Luke was amazing! Full of energy and enthusiasm and the tips and insights he shared were really unique. Hes studied the best spots exactly to show people whilst being respectful of the locals and busy city around. He gave us a map, and post tour whatsapp links to all the things he mentioned so even if we forgot it's there. I would recommend having a big breakfast as although it's an easy cycle you do get hungry being on the go. It was great to grab a few snacks and drinks at the beach towarda the end. I am so so glad I booked this and I truely feel like I fell in live with Valencia that day! Thanks to Luke. Not to be missed if you are in town 🇪🇸🥘

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of historic Valencia with Sofi as our guide. She was exceptionally friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories that truly brought the city’s rich history and culture to life. Her passion for Valencia was evident throughout the tour, and she made every stop engaging and memorable. Unfortunately, one of the participants was pickpocketed during the tour, but Sofi handled the situation with great care and concern. She immediately offered assistance, provided clear guidance on what to do, and made sure everyone felt reassured and safe before continuing. Despite that incident, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Sofi’s warmth, expertise, and storytelling made it a highlight of our visit to Valencia. Highly recommended!

Tapas are one of the top reasons to visit Spain. Maria took us on a tour of the old city and gave us a great perspective of the old and new. But this tour is about tapas and local favorite places to enjoy them. Sant Jaume was my favorite and worth a return visit. Best of all, Maria was great company and my wife and I enjoyed spending a memorable afternoon with her.

Amazing experience. Nick was great! It was actually his first day at job and it was amazingly fun. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for keeping us safe throughout the trip. Thermal springs was great, stunning views, water was cold but great experience. Highly recommended.

What an amazing day we had. Booked this tour with two friends to celebrate significant birthdays. Elise was fantastic. So knowledgeable & no question was unanswered. We loved the contrast of the two wineries. And I was especially grateful for my gluten and dairy free tapas to go with all the wines we tasted. We can’t recommend it highly enough, from our first contact with Elise to being dropped off close to our accommodation. Wonderful and long lasting memory, thank you 😊

València is world-famous for its paella, so we knew we needed to devote some time to learning about and eating it on our visit! This cooking class through “My First Paella” was the perfect way to do both. A tour, a cooking class, and a social activity all in one, you won’t regret this experience! My partner and I were thrilled to spend some time in the wonderful “Mercat de Russafa,” filled with friendly vendors and delicious, local food, as our guide and chef extraordinaire for the day, Ana, showed us the ingredients we would be using for our dish! Chef Ana was extremely kind and very funny as she shared her knowledge of cooking paella, both the technical elements and the power of paella to bring people and families together. Chef Jose was humorous and warm, and kept us laughing and drinking while taking care of everyone. There were many parts of this experience that stood out to me. One was Chef Ana’s explanation of how everyone involved with My First Paella wants to include visitors to Valencia (like myself and most of my group today) in the local culture and community in a real and genuine way, while also respecting and coexisting with the people who live in this beautiful city and are trying to go about their daily lives. So, for example, showing us visitors what it is like to shop in the local Mercat and where our ingredients are coming from, but being very careful to split big groups up and guide us carefully so we don’t block walkways or interfere with the stalls or the customers!! I absolutely loved how intentional they were about this, and it reflects my own beliefs about travel and tourism. The other big thing that stood out to me was how darn good the food was! It’s hard enough to make good paella yourself, I can’t even imagine how hard it must be to teach eight people at two different paella stations how to make two different types of paella at once - but Chef Ana did it and our paella was DELICIOUS!! It was so interesting to learn more about the importance of paella in Spanish (and especially, Valencian) culture, and it was so much fun to cook paella ourselves. My partner and I had some tasty seafood paella the night before our class from a really great local restaurant, but the paella we cooked together in class tasted even better. I could go on and on about this experience - delicious sangria, the opportunity to meet other travelers, feeling like part of the local community - but really, you should go experience it yourself! If you’re coming to Valencia, put “My First Paella” on your calendar.
