Highly Recommend! - Great afternoon tour in a small group with a lovely guide! Our group of 6 was led by Daniel who is a local Valencian and very knowledgeable about the city and its history! He showed us all the most important and beautiful spots and his enthusiasm and passion for the city was really catching. The afternoon ended at Sea Saffrons private location where we were served amazing tapas and spanish wines. Our group thouroughly enjoyed the experience and even went for drinks at a local bar Dani recommended after we left Sea Saffron.
If you don't mind a bit of heat, book the 1pm tour as everything will be open for entry unlike the evening tour where the msrket for example will already have closed.
And if you get Dani as your guide, consider yourself lucky. He's knowledgeable, funny and extremly helpful!

Highly recommend! - We were a small group of just 6 people for the 1pm tour on a weekday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Our guide Daniel is a local and thus quite knowledgeable about the history of Valencia. As we walked through the city he showed us all the most important and beautiful spots and told us about their significance. His enthusiasm was really quite heartwarming. The afternoon ended at Sea Saffrons private location where we were served delicious tapas and spanish wines. Our group then even went for more drinks together in a local bar Dani recommended. Whst a grest way to make new friends!:)
If you don't mind a bit of heat, make sure to book the afternoon tour as all the places will be open for entry unlike in the evening where some things like the market will already be closed. If you get Dani as your guide, you're lucky, he's not only knowledgeable about the area but also passionate, funny and extremly helpful! :-)

We learned a lot about the beautiful medieval centre . The tapas was amazing in a nice chilled location , the dishes just kept on coming and the wine kept on flowing !! The whole thing was excellent value for money .

Wonderful experience! - The walking part of the tour was terrific but the food and wine pairing was out of this world. I expected a few tapas but instead it was a multi-course meal starting with a few tapas. The wines accompanied beautiful. Also had the chance to meet and chat with others.
