Top Valencia Private Sightseeing Tours - page 9

We had a great walking tour in Valencia with Joaquín. He was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city. His explanations were clear and full of interesting details that made the history come alive. The tour was well paced and covered many important sights as well as charming areas of the city. Joaquín was happy to answer questions and made the experience feel very personal. The overall experience was informative, enjoyable, and well organized.

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

This was a private tour. I like small tours as I feel that I get a much better grasp on the city (or other sites) as opposed to a large group. Max was an awesome guide. He is an architect by trade and imparts his knowledge in such a way that you feel like you are part of the city and appreciate the beauty around you.

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!

Great way to cruise through the sights and sounds of Valencia Kate our tour guide was very informative and paid a lot of her attention on making sure our experience was spot in , kept us in our comfort zone with the pace all in all a very memorable day Thank you Kate and Bali

Our visit to the thermal springs and waterfall was absolutely unforgettable. The scenery was stunning, the springs soothing, and the waterfall breathtaking. But what truly made the day special was Mike—our amazing guide, whose passion, knowledge, and kindness turned the trip into a memory we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommended!

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.

Very interesting tour with Alex who was knowledgeable about Valencia and all its culinary specialties. Highly recommended tour if you want to get an introduction to the local gastronomy and avoid tourist traps during your stay. The food and drinks during the tour were delicious and the experience really enjoyable.
