It was a very nice well organized evening, our host was funny, told us a lot of unexpected facts about Valencia Old Town and finally we ended our walk in an absolutely charming place where we could try some regional food and wine and enjoy our evening. Totally recommended.
We only had one day in Valencia and I am so happy we booked this tour with Paula. I loved going to the market and seeing some of the sights of this gorgeous city. I learned a lot about Valencia and Paula kept the tour well-paced, interesting, and found us some helpful shady spots to pause. The communication before and after the tour was excellent - asking about dietary restrictions and they were thankfully able to accommodate my vegetarian diet. The food and wine portion of the tour was really special, I felt like we were tucked away in a nice little oasis to enjoy and learn more about wine/food of the region. I thought everything was delicious and the servings were generous. After the tour, Paula reached out to me to offer suggestions for where to watch the July 1 fireworks that evening, which was really sweet. Book this tour and go hungry, you won't be disappointed!
Everything about this tour was incredible. Such great history followed by a never ending wine and tapas lunch. Boglárka was absolutely amazing. This tour is a cannot miss when in Valencia!
A wonderful experience! Our guide, Paula, was very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. A great introduction to the city! Plenty of recommendations. Food, wine and venue: beautiful. Highly recommend!
Had a great time on this tour. Our guide Paula was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. The walk is very manageable, and the food and wine high quality. Great way to learn about the historical significance of Valencia, learn about the local food and wine, and perhaps make new friends.
Paula was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of València old town and its origins. After an informative walk we went back to a beautiful tranquil venue for an amazing spread of tapas, each one with a brief description by Paula, and 5 or 6 glasses of excellent locally produced wine. I can't recommend this tour enough, it's a must do.
Bogy was fun and very knowledgeable about Valencia and its monuments. She kept us entertained and engaged. At the end she took us to a great venue, very intimate and a beautiful place where we had amazing Spanish local wines and delicious tapas cooked by them. The group had a great time together and learned so much from Bogy.
We had a magical evening! Mimi showed us around the Old Town and her knowledge and easy-going manner made us feel right at home. We left the tour feeling very in love with Valencia. When it comes to the tapas and wine - oh my goodness, I was not expecting this level of wonderment. The tapas was incredible and so was the wine served in such a beautiful and tranquil setting. I would give even more stars if I could!!
This is a great tour that allows you an opportunity to see the old town of Valencia and hear the stories of how the city came to be what it is today. Highly recommend that you do this early on in your trip as it sets the tone for the remainder of your stay in the city. Our tour guide Juliane was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and easygoing ensuring that we stayed comfortable even in the hot weather. The tapas and the wine were the icing on the cake as we got to experience the region as a whole through the food and wine that makes Valencia special. Would definitely recommend to anybody visiting!
Boglárka was an exceptionally knowledgeable guide through Valencia's Old City. In addition, the food and wine at the end of our tour of the city were delicious. Her restaurant and rooftop tips were spot-on, and she pointed us to great local wine and olive oil shops. I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting.
