This tour was informative - for us it was a lot of information about the churches and not enough about the buildings. We didn’t really enjoy the light show in the church.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Joseph. We’re glad you found the tour informative. As described in the tour overview, the experience focuses strongly on Valencia’s religious art, historic churches, and architecture, including visits to San Nicolas Church, the Cathedral, and La Lonja. We understand that the balance of content may not match every traveler’s interests, but we appreciate your comments.

Tour was very informative, 3 hours went by quickly. We did not have to wait in any of the lines and the guide points out things I would have missed on my own. Our guide kept it well paced and was animated and fun to listen too.

Joaquin was very knowledgeable. He was also aware of special events occurring at the sites we were visiting that day and made sure we got in with enough time to see the best stuff (like the Holy Chalice). He also made sure folks on the tour with limited mobility were accommodated and comfortable.

Our tour guide, Paulino, was excellent. His attention to detail was vast and interesting. There were so many things that we would have missed if it weren't for him. The tours of the building were very thorough and interesting. I really enjoyed my time on this tour. I learned so much. I would highly recommend this tour. Almost feel like I need to go on the tour again in order to absorb all the information. It was so interesting! Thank you!

Not truly about architecture at all but more about visiting highlights of Valencia. Guide sometimes struggled with English even though it was an English speaking tour.

Brad_O, Jan 2026
Learned a lot about Spanish history and culture. Found the tours of churches to be inspiring. The light show inside St. Nicholas church is a can’t miss. Liked the mix of visiting current market. This was an excellent walking tour that gives you a good feel for the city center. Easy to locate meeting area. Manuel was knowledgeable guide and easy to understand English. I highly recommend him and this tour.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much, Brad, for your fantastic review! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Manuel; his clear explanations and passion truly make a difference. Thank you for the strong recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you again on another tour next time you’re in Valencia!
Hayley_K, Dec 2025
My partner and I did this tour with Monika, on a cold, winter València day. It was an absolute highlight of our time in València. Despite the tour only consisting of my partner and I, Monika went above and beyond explaining stories and history of what we were touring and also pointing out the smaller details that we otherwise would have missed had we not done the tour. She pointed out smaller details that she personally liked and also recommended food and drinks for us to try. I couldn’t recommend this tour more.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely words! We’re delighted to hear that your tour with Monika was such a memorable part of your visit. She truly enjoys sharing those special details, and it’s wonderful to know they made a difference. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another experience!
LORNA_N, Dec 2025
Really nice knowledgable tour guide. She highlighted things that we would never have noticed otherwise. Especially liked the light show set to music in one of the churches. We also saw some local people dressed in traditional costumes. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the tour.
We hope to see you again soon!

We were only in Valencia for half the day and are very glad we chose this tour. We were able to cut the admission lines for the sights, and Monica provided wonderful commentary about Ciutat Vella. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who’s short on time!

Paul_J, Oct 2025
This tour was the absolute best I've done in Valencia and I've done four. We didn't just walk past buildings we went inside and for example enjoyed the light show at the St Nicholas' Church, and inside the Valencia Cathedral, inside the Silk Exchange (and saw the elaborate ceiling on the second floor plus had the history explained) plus other monuments. It was made even more enjoyable by our knowledgeable, passionate Valencian guide. She was excellent and I'm disappointed I can't name her here. I'm terrible with names. But if your guide is Spanish/German and speaks fluent English you will have an experience you will not forget 5/5
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much, Paul! 🌟 What an amazing review, it is always our goal that our customers´ experience are remarkable.

The Oceanografìc has endless exhibitions that cover 15 or so aquatic zones on earth. We were most impressed with the sharks, Baluga whales, and the penguins.

Monika was an excellent tour guide. We saw so much and learned so much about the impressive Valencia architecture. We highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Sept 2025

Howard_Y, Sept 2025
Guide had very good knowledge of the city , but extremely poor group management skills. We were abandoned outside a busy cathedral in The Plaza Arzobispo. We waited 15 minutes outside the cathedral for 15 minutes and she did not return. No apology given when we finally met up again at the bus. We missed half the tour and feel we are entitled to reimbursement
of at least $150.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
We are very sorry for the confusion and we understand your frustration 🙏. After reviewing the situation, we can confirm that the guide and the rest of the group were attentive at all times and even looked for you around the cathedral area. It seems there was a misunderstanding with the instructions, which led to you missing that part of the tour.
We truly regret that this situation prevented you from fully enjoying the experience. Your feedback is valuable and helps us to further strengthen communication with our participants.
Anton_B, Sept 2025
Very nice tour, we visited among other places the Sant Nicholas church which is a must visit place in my opinion. Excellent guide mr. Benito with a lot of knowledge about Valencia and a nice and enjoyable person. I would strongly recommend this tour
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌟
We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Benito made it such an interesting and pleasant experience.
Your recommendation means a lot to us! 💛
