Perfect tour

5.00I learned a ton during our private 6-hour tour of Valencia - Javier was excellent at answering all of our extra questions and found a great balance between key historical facts/events and the personal stories and anecdotes that bring a place to life. There was also a nice mix of the city's early history and more modern changes. It's incredible how much Valencia has evolved over the last 70 years. Thanks for such an enjoyable day, Javier!

5.00A wonderful afternoon in Valencia with Alessia. She is a fabulous guide who is very kind, passionate, patient and highly informative. We walked the streets and soaked in all the culture and wonder of this lovely city. Our lunch was so delicious, and we had great service at the restaurant. We were incredibly fortunate to arrive during The Fallas of Valencia celebrations, which really capped off our day with colour, costumes, celebrations and art works. Thank you sincerely Alessia for a truly amazing day!

5.00I can’t suggest this tour enough! Marta was our private guide for a full day, and she was absolutely fantastic. Her energy was great, she knew everything about the area, and her English was perfect. She shared the local history with such care and deep respect for the city's roots. We got to sample amazing treats along the way, and she even recommend us her family’s favourite spot to taste authentic Valencian paella.

5.00Isabelle was fantastic! She was incredibly informative and had a sharp, fun sense of humor. We’d done a group walking tour before, but this private experience was much better. Isabelle pointed out details we had completely missed during our wandering and on the earlier tour through the historic quarter. Her insight into the area’s history was impressive and easy to follow. We ended the afternoon with great memories—absolutely worth it.

5.00We absolutely loved our tour with Ector. Within minutes, the conversation was flowing and didn’t stop the entire day. He was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly well-versed in everything Valencia. He tailored the experience to exactly what we hoped to see—both in the city and beyond—and made the whole outing feel effortless. Highly recommended!

5.00Elena was an outstanding guide! Her deep knowledge of Valencia’s past, combined with her excitement for the city, made every story unforgettable. She painted such vivid pictures of the people who once lived here—their struggles, dreams, and celebrations—that it almost felt like stepping into another era. This experience was far more than a history lesson; it was an emotional journey through Valencia’s identity. Truly unmissable!

5.00I had the chance to travel to Spain for business, and with a couple of extra days, I booked a private tour with Laura. I was blown away by how perfectly everything was arranged. Laura is such a warm person with a fantastic personality, and her knowledge of Valencia is outstanding. I honestly feel I got incredibly lucky to have her as my guide—she made sure I didn’t miss a single detail of the journey. I’d absolutely recommend Laura to anyone visiting Spain. It was an unforgettable experience and worth every cent!
