A warm and memorable evening in Valencia. The tapas were fantastic—authentic, full of flavor, and thoughtfully chosen. I loved getting to try dishes I wouldn’t have known to order on my own. What truly made the night special, though, was meeting fellow travelers from around the world and sharing stories over glasses of wine, beer, and excellent local vermouth. Victor, our guide, was a lovely and welcoming host—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommended!

Great fun. Guide did a very good job and really enjoyed the group we were with. Little more walking than we expected but not a problem.
Stephen_S, Apr 2026

Nicole_T, Mar 2026
The tour was amazing. Victor was knowledgeable, friendly and a great guy! The food and drinks were delicious and it was a great evening.
Christina_S, Mar 2026
Great night out in Valencia. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink and the company. Andrea was a charming and knowledgeable guide.
Racheal_M, Mar 2026
Our tour was fantastic and excellent value for money. Over the course of the evening, we visited four wonderful local spots and enjoyed a wide variety of tapas and drinks. At each stop, our guide provided thoughtful explanations about the origins and cultural significance of what we were tasting, along with fascinating insights into the importance of food in Valencia’s traditions and daily life.
The food itself was outstanding, and we had the chance to try several dishes we would never have thought to order on our own. By the end of the tour, we left with full bellies, a much deeper appreciation of Valencia’s food culture, and a long list of great recommendations for the rest of our stay. Highly recommended! 😄🍷🍤

Great time Great food A great way to see the best tapas options in town. Do this early In you out visit so you know where to go
Martin_S, Feb 2026
Really great walking tour of tapas and spirits tour in central Valencia. Absolutely as advertised and a very friendly guide in Andrea, a well-traveled but locally-based university professor. We got to know the area and learned about local foods, wines, vermouth and traditions.
Kate_N, Feb 2026
Really fun experience. Visited 4 different places, all of which we’d have walked past, but each serving delicious vermouth, wines and good.
Andreas was an excellent host for the trip, knowledgeable about the place, food and drinks as well as justifiably proud of Valencia. Great fun experience too.
Barbara_M, Feb 2026
Experience different parts of the city around the plaza and taste great traditional dishes with an explanation of the food’s history and origin.
Ian_B, Nov 2025
Absolutely fabulous. Ghita was spot on and the whole tour had great food, drink and discussion. Great value and well worth doing. Thanks Ghita.
Paul_B, Oct 2025
Would recommend. We sampled at least nine or ten different tapas and got drink recommendations for each place (although we could choose our own). Many of these items were ones I might not order. Plus the guide (Andrea) really explained each one well and connected it to València.
Our group was six people and as a solo traveler it was a great way to meet new people
JANNA_H, Oct 2025
Vicktor was an exceptional guide & host! We braved a rare raining night in Valencia and it was worth it. Food was great and portions substantial. A fun way to experience the Centro and learn some of the culture.
Michael_K, Oct 2025
Wonderful experience. Geta was great. Very engaging and had an excellent personality. Very knowledgeable as well. I would definitely book a tour with her and will recommend this tour to friends.
Luke_A, Oct 2025
Was a great selection of tapas at authentic places. We would have probably walked by all of the places If not planned, great experience.
Christopher_S, Oct 2025
You get to visit a variety of restaurants and try a wide range of local foods and drinks. A little something for everyone.
Barry_b, Sep 2025

We enjoyed the traditional foods and drinks. The tour took us outside of the Old City into less of tourist experience.
Anthony_G, Jun 2025
Good food, wine and company. We were taken to small, family run bars that we would not have found in our own. Jack, our guide, made the whole experience fun and very interesting.
Magnuss_B, Dec 2024
Ghita was very friendly despite having a cold; the foods and drinks were very enjoyable and it's nice that all of the locations we visited had that "local/hidden gem" feeling to them. Also, we made a new friend whom we accidentally met again the next day!
Alex_K, Oct 2024
I had to reschedule from 1 day prior due to a scheduling issue back in the US and they were very accommodating. Great group internationally represented and wonderful guide! All of the sites we visited were unique. I did not feel rushed to leave force the next location ever. I loved our initial meeting place. I will continue to use the same platform to book further visits. Wonderful time!
Eric_G, Sep 2024
The guide was not engaging at all, one of the fellow guests was asking the "get to know you" questions, while she was aloof and absent. What little time she did engage on the walks, were with certain people and not the group. The food selections were not good at all and we experienced much better food by eating at random places. We feel you go on a tour like this to get to know the local cuisine, but that was not even close to what our experience was about.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Hello Eric,
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our goal is to create a dynamic group atmosphere while also providing personalized attention to each guest. We apologize if you felt our guide, Tatiana, was not engaging enough during the tour. We strive to ensure every guest feels included and entertained throughout the experience.
It’s important to note that other guests from the same evening shared 5-star reviews and expressed that they had a wonderful time. The group atmosphere was described as positive, and we regret that this wasn’t your experience.
Regarding the food selections, we understand the importance of showcasing local cuisine, and we regret that you did not find it satisfactory. We continuously review our offerings to provide the best possible experience for our guests.
We value your input as it helps us improve. Please feel free to contact us directly if you would like to discuss your experience further or if there's anything else we can do to address your concerns.
Best regards,

The tour guide was lovely but for the price of 75 euro per head there was very little food included, certainly not enough for an evening meal as indicated. There wasn’t much variety in what was provided either. We had previously had a beautiful, substantial meal for two in one of the best restaurants in the old quarter for much less.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Dear Colette,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the company of our tour guide, as we strive to make every guest’s experience personal and enjoyable. Tatiana had a lovely evening with you both.
We’re sorry to hear that the food provided didn’t meet your expectations in terms of portion size or variety. While we aim to offer a well rounded experience that includes tasting local cuisine, the price of the tour covers much more than just the food.
We understand your comparison with dining options in the old quarter, and we appreciate your perspective. Our experience also includes the expertise of our guide, who provides valuable insights into the history and culture of the area, and the operational costs of organizing such tours.
Additionally, when booking through platforms like Viator, about 30% of the cost goes to cover platform fees. This helps make our tours accessible and convenient but does affect the overall pricing structure. I can recognize it’s a lot (for us too).
We appreciate your perspective and will take your feedback into account as we work to refine our offerings. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, we’d love the opportunity to make it right.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for a more satisfying experience.
Best regards,
Benjamin

Very friendly and knowledgable guide. Local restaurants. Good portions of tapas and a variety of different wines to choose from. Nice way to start a visit to Valencia.
Lukas_E, Jul 2024
Our guide (Ghita) was incredible! Very friendly and well-knowledged about the food we had and the city itself. We definitely recommend!
David_H, May 2024
Really enjoyable evening of Tapss and drinks at 4 different venues around Valencia. A good selection of the local drinks and matching food, with a diverse group of people from several countries. A fun evening.
Laura_M, Feb 2024
Very nice host, but a bit unorganised and meant we have to rush to leave places. Also a bit stingy, no extra or bread or water.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Dear Laura,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you found our host to be very nice.
We apologize for the aspects of the tour that did not meet your expectations, particularly for the extra bread. We do offer tap water if people asked for, and one drink is included each place you visit.
Your experience is important to us, and we regret that you felt rushed and that these provisions were lacking.
We hope you will give us another opportunity to offer you a more enjoyable experience in the future.
Best regards,
Benjamin

The Tapas Crawl was average. I would have liked to have gone to places with more ambience and with some more interesting Tapas such as grilled octopus, peppers etc.
Our guide Rita was lovely and very informative. I do highly recommend Rita.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Dear Laurie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found our guide, Rita, lovely and informative. We will certainly pass along your kind words to her.
We regret that the tapas selection and ambiance did not meet your expectations. The concept of our tour is to offer local Valencian tapas and to visit places frequented by locals. We understand that this approach may not appeal to everyone.
Your comments are valuable to us, and we will consider them as we continue to refine our tour offerings. We appreciate your understanding and your honest feedback.
Thank you again for your review. We hope you will join us on another tour in the future, where we can provide a more enjoyable experience for you.
Best regards,
Benjamin
