We’ll immerse ourselves in the culture shaped by Romans, Visigoths, Arabs, and the Crown of Aragon.
If you wish to personalize your tour in the historical district, we’re open to that. However, if you’d like to venture beyond the historical precinct, the cab fare (if required) will need to be covered by you.

- during summer period (July, august and September) try to book early in the morning tour (09:00-10:00 would be the best, or 18:30 as we have light until 22:00 hrs), it isvery warm and complicated to run tours from 11:30 to 17:00.

Great Private History Tour - Sonia was a wonderful ambassador to València and the tour was excellent. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the history, language, art, and culture of the city from someone who knows it inside and out. Sonia also marked up a map for us showing other museums and attractions that were interesting to us with the times when they were open. It was great—everything we hoped it would be!

Excellent English-language tour of historic Valencia - Our guide Sonia was ready and waiting for us, and led our group of four on a rambling tour of Valencia’s historic centre. Her English was excellent and her knowledge of what to see and the history of the town surpassed our expectations. Thoroughly recommended.

Fun albeit shortened walking tour - My wife was pickpocketed during our walking tour so sadly we had to cut the tour short in order to report the theft to the credit card company. But our tour guide Paulinho was very knowledgeable and a good guide.
