Great tour to learn Valencia

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.

A must do in València

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!

Great way to spend the afternoon

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...

Judy_H, Oct 2025

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!

Tour with a passionate Valencian for an unforgettable informative experience.

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. Your guide was Anais, one of our passionate Valencian experts, and she’ll be so happy to read your words! We’d love to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable Valencia & Go adventure! ✨

Lost unhappy tourists.

Howard_Y, Sep 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, Sep 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.

Excellent tour

Anton_B, Sep 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

Erin_M, Aug 2025

This is a great tour! Our tour guide was very knowledge and enthusiastic about the tour and the sights he was showing us. He conducted the tour at a good pace and kept us in the shade as much as possible (even stopped at shop so we could purchase some water - it was HOT). It was a small group (5 people) and we walked right into all attractions, no waiting! My husband and I highly recommend this tour. There are so many things we just would have missed out on knowing if we had not taken this tour. It was a great thing to do when we arrived as it heped us get oriented with the city as well. Book it!

Response from Host, Aug 2025
