Description

Forget the dry history walk! Let's explore València's Old Town and get a real look at what the city is like today. We'll talk about the culture, language, and how to enjoy the city authentically & responsibly.

Your Guide:
My name's Kevin, I'm an American who moved to Valencia in 2018, married a Valencian, and became an official guide certified by the Valencian Government. I'm also a local influencer, making videos explaining (and poking fun at) Valencian culture. In 1hr 45mins, I show you the Valencia I actually live in.

We start in El Carme and wander the Old Town, past the Serrans Towers, the Cathedral, the UNESCO Silk Exchange, and the Mercat Central. I won't spew out random dates at you. Instead, I'll show you how the history affects the current society and culture.

We get into the Valencian language, the old Kingdom of Valencia, the food you should actually order, and the tourist traps to skip. Expect lots of jokes and honest answers.

English is my native language, and I also speak Spanish and Valencian at a C2 level. I used to be a language teacher, but now I'm a travel advisor too, so I stick around to ask any questions!

Hope to show you around soon!

The Perfect Introduction to Valencia’s Rich History

We had an exceptional experience on the Valencia Old Town walking tour with Kevin. He provided fascinating insights into the city's rich history, architecture, local gastronomy, and key attractions. The tour truly captured the essence of Valencia and is a worthwhile experience for any visitor. Thank you, Kevin, for an engaging and memorable tour.

Outstanding walking tour of Valencia

We had a fantastic experience exploring the old town of Valencia with our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and seemed to have an answer to every question we asked, no matter how detailed. What really set this tour apart, however, was the way he brought the city to life. Rather than delivering a traditional history lesson filled with dates and facts, he gave us a fascinating and enjoyable insight into the everyday lives of Valencian people, their culture, traditions, customs, and way of thinking. His storytelling was engaging, full of interesting anecdotes, and delivered with enthusiasm, making the entire walk both entertaining and informative. The tour was perfectly paced, interactive, and enjoyable from start to finish. We left with a much deeper appreciation of Valencia, not just as a beautiful city, but as a place with a rich and vibrant culture. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an authentic and memorable introduction to Valencia. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

You can tell Kevin knows

I've had tours before where you could tell the guide just threw some historical fun facts and dates here and there, but didn't really understand the culture of that place. You can tell Kevin has a deep understanding not only of Valencian history, but also of its culture. He will not only tell you interesting facts, but facts that are relevant to Valencians and affect their daily lives. Plus he's really friendly, so we had an amazing time!!
