Anais was amazing. We had the best experience. The food and drinks were all very good. But Anais made the night memorable. She gave us history of the places and the food. Everyone had a great time. At the end of the night she provided a list of her recommendations in the city.

An amazing excursion! We visited 4 places, the food was absolutely amazing and some real hidden gems we would have missed. Anaïs is the best guide and I would highly recommend this tour!

    What a lovely experience thanks to our super guide Anaïs who revealed beautiful Valencia with charm, knowledge and humour. We enjoyed every moment on the tasty journey she lead us on through the local history and contemporary culture, satisfying our thirst for information along with traditional food and drink. We highly recommend choosing this tour and hope you are lucky enough to have the friendliest of guides in Anaïs who will guarantee to you an intersecting and engaging journey through the ages and streets of Valencia.

    Amazing food with a bit of walking tour mixed in--highly recommend!

    Jesse_H, Jun 2026
    My friend and I visited Valencia for the first time and wanted to learn more about the food culture of the city. We were extremely satisfied with all the restaurants Anais brought us to, and she explained several of the historic/cultural sites of the city as we strolled along between bites. As someone who doesn't even like fish, I'm so glad she encouraged me to try the sardines at one of the fish restaurants because I enjoyed them!

    Enjoyed the food and history of Valencia. Amado was very informative and shared many places to see later in our own.

    So much fun!

    Good food and company

    Jayne_M, May 2026
    Great food choices and drinks. Aiana was a lovely host. As a preference, we like a bit of history to sit alongside the food. Would recommend and we have been back to one of the places since.

    Iana was one of the best...

    Mitchell_T, May 2026

    amazing food and historical education

    roland_w, May 2026
    Amazing walk with the perfect guide for Valencia insider food and history education. Anaïs is a real pro and her food selection was impeccable. If you want to see things you would have otherwise past by without knowing they were there then this is the tour for you.

    Good Variety, Short Walk

    Ira_T, May 2026
    An excellent variety of Tapas and beverages. Also good historical information. And the route is not very long.

    Excellent experience! ...

    Excellent experience!

    Pat_S, May 2026
    Anais was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and informative. Anais is multi-lingual and includes everybody within the group. We had 6 stops and all were a great variety and lovely experience. Anais was very helpful with food and restaurant suggestions. The 3.5 hours flew by!

    The best food tour and guide in Valencia!

    Kim_T, May 2026
    Our Valencia food tour with Aiana our guide was amazing! She was very friendly, professional, and a delight to spend the day with. She took great care us. The food was delicious and Aiana was great at explaining local culture and food. I highly recommend this tour and especially Aiana as a tour guide. You will have a great time and leave feeling very full and content.

    Great start to our trip!

    Emily_M, Apr 2026
    This was a great tour! All the food we tried was delicious and our guide Aiana lovely and full of great recommendations for the city.

    Best tour Ive had in Europe

    Taylor_O, Apr 2026
    Tour guide Anais provided a truly special experience. My partner was new to tours through Viator and she kept telling me through the food tour how much fun it was. Anais took the time to connect with us and really provide a great tour. I would do another tour with Anais again and would highly recommend.

    Good Variety of Food and Sights

    Errin_M, Apr 2026
    Good mix of walking and eating. Visited places we would never think to try. Aiana was very knowledgeable and made sure I didn’t eat anything to trigger my allergy. We couldn’t go into the Central Market due our larger group size, which was disappointing. But we still had a good time and recommend the tour.

    Excellent Tour

    Caroline_D, Apr 2026
    Excellent food Tour with Anna as our guide. Friendly and knowledgeable about the food as well as local history and culture. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful food tour!

    debbie_M, Oct 2025
    Wonderful tour! Anna was very knowledgeable and took time to explain the food and places we visited. I would recommend this walking food tour to anyone visiting Valencia. The only thing I would suggest is maybe to add a flag and a microphone/headset as Valencia is very crowded and it’s easy to get lost in the crowds.

    Good history of Valencian...

    Jim_S, Jul 2025
    Good history of Valencian culture and foods mixed with wine, vermut, horchata and beer. Daniel is a real character!

    A great way to taste what Valencia has to offer

    Paul_K, Apr 2025
    Angelique was a fantastic host, bringing us by interesting sights and filling us in with historical facts, as we traversed the city, from bar to bar. We had a wide range of delicious foods to try, overall a great afternoon and highly recommended.

    Fully Recommend Valencia Food and Drink Tour

    gary_c, Mar 2025
    Our tour guide Veronique, was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable, took us to places that we would never have gone, with a good variety of food and drink tastings. All in all a very enjoyable experience. Would fully recommend, when the tour finished Veronique even took us to our next destination, which we would have struggled to have found. Thank you Veronique for a lovely experience

    This was a great...

    Michael_B, Mar 2025
    This was a great experience. There were only 3 of us and our guide Daniel, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tapas and wines were amazing! This experience is highly recommended.

    Great fun and fabulous food and drink

    Julie_B, Feb 2025
    Had a fantastic evening tour with Daniel, who took my group of four to some real and unique tapas spots in central Valencia. Each tapas was paired with a drink and there was plenty of it! I’m so pleased we decided to book this tour because we visited some amazing and historical spots in the city that we wouldn’t have found ourselves, and tasted the best food as recommended by Daniel. He was a superb host and would thoroughly recommend.

    Top-unbedingt!

    Melanie_M, Feb 2025
    Es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht und war auch genug Essen zum probieren. Nicht nur kleine Proben. Daniel war hervorragend als Guide mit viel Wissen über die Stadt. Vielen Dank!
