We had an incredible time on this tour! Our tour guide was super kind, informative, and took lots of pictures for us. He was open to our input and willing to shape the tour based off of what we wanted. We really enjoyed our stops at the Serranos Towers (I think this place is only open limited days), the Silk Exchange, La Horchateria de Santa Catalina, and the Jardin de Monforte.

Me and my wife had a great time, Max our tour guide was great, he’s very knowledgeable and patient, thank you so much.

Best tour ever

David_M, Nov 2025
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.

Will_D, Aug 2025
We had a great few hours with Elena! We wondered around the city whilst she told us facts about Valencia. We stopped for Horchata and went into some cool buildings and churches. If I had one comment, I'd say it could have been shorter because of the heat was so strong. A solid experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Regarding the tour length, we always follow the duration booked to ensure guests receive the full experience they paid for.

Mediocre

Bog, Jul 2025
It was below average tour. Guide was nice but was very slow going and not assertive to take the lead on where we were going. Didn’t give much info unless we asked questions

Response from Host, Jul 2025

We repudiate this review because it does not belong to our company, we never had a client with this name, besides our guides are of the highest quality, we will ask them to remove it.

Erin_F, Jul 2025
Max walked us all over Valencia, what a beautiful city! He was prompt, personable, and did a nice job of taking us to common tourist spots, secret quiet places, as well as customizing by what we wanted to see. We would book again.

Great tour of Valencia

Jessie_H, Jun 2025
Great way to see Valencia’s highlights, learn its history and discover gems off the beaten path. This was a very well thought out tour and would highly recommend. My husband was in his wheelchair for the tour and we had no issues visiting the different sites and the path was very easy and manageable. Our guide, Wojtek was always mindful of our needs throughout the tour and we enjoyed every part of the tour.
