Great tour!

Zoe’s tour was great! It gave us a more in depth background on Valencia than we would have known otherwise. She is very knowledgeable and responsive to questions. Highly recommend this tour!

Great intro to Valencia

We really enjoyed Doe’s tour. Friendly and knowledgeable, she added context and stories when pointing out historical landmarks, making the two hours educational and memorable. She also shared insider tips for when to visit sites and where to eat/shop.

A private tour

We were a little surprised that we were the only two persons that booked the tour. Nevertheless our Guide Doe did a great job on this private tour we had. We learned a lot about the city and its history. She also answered all our questions about current political and cultural developments. Would recommend!
