Monica was a kind and gracious guide. We had a small group as it was a Thursday morning in the off season, but she did have to go back and forth between Spanish and English. The caves were beautiful. The guides in the caves were also wonderful. Our boat captain David was really a lot of fun. If you are in the fence, just book the tour. You will not be sorry!

Joaquin kept us informed throughout and shared some insights into life in Spain. His conversational English was excellent. We felt the trip was good value and the team at the Sant Josep Caves were also very professional, keeping us safe and sound. All in all, we were glad to have made the booking, and despite our last minute decision to go, after the office had closed, the communication was excellent, first thing the next morning, with all the information we needed for a hassle free pick-up. Highly recommend this tour company, Valencia&Go.

Had a fantastic excursion with Ferran Costa. On the way there, everything about the area and history was told in an interesting and humorous way. The caves themselves were beautiful! Back we got many tips from Ferran about other activities. Had a nice morning with a good and friendly guide.

A perfect experience with Valencia&Go. The caves are amazing, but when you also have a guide who takes care of you, tells you all the curiosities (not only about the caves, but also about Valencia) and in your language .. we did it in Italian, it is the only agency that offers it!, the experience becomes even more special. My partner and I loved it. An ideal way to spend a morning. Highly recommended if you come to Valencia!!
