Had the best tour with David! He truly knows what he is talking about, shared a LOT of super interesting stories and facts about parts of history that I was specifically asking about (feminism!) and is such a kind and hospitable person. Absolutely loved it and would 1000% recommend going with him. Small group, very knowledgeable guide, absolute value for money!

David is absolutely amazing! Provided our group with insight into the history of Valencia in easily digestible bits of information. Recommend taking this tour the first day of your visit because he will suggest places of interest that expand on what you learn in his tour! We could’ve easily gone for more than 2 hours with him! Gracias David!

The tour with David gave us a completely new perspective of the city and made it so that during the rest of our stay in valencia we had a new found appreciation for Valencia's history. The tour was filled with all kinds of cool little facts that we wouldn't have picked up anywhere else. It was a very interesting experience and David was very friendly and accomodated us in any way possible. His English is excellent and I couldn't think of a way the tour could be any better. If you're pondering to take this tour, just do it, as early in your stay in Valencia as possible, it will enrich the rest of your stay in the city.

We did this as a couple and were in a small group in total about 5 of us as was in March 2023. Our guide was very personable with excellent English and very informative. It was about two hours and the walking was relatively flat. Valencia is a fascinating place. You go past ( but not really in…you will need to go back at your own pace) some important landmark buildings. I would recommend this tour. Thanks very much to our guide.
