Excellent. We took the tour with our 11-yo who's interested in history. Knowledgable and also friendly and easygoing. Communicated well with the entire group, including children. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing tour! Ferran was a wonderful tour guide, very friendly and personable. He was well informed on the history of everything we saw and we had a great time! Would definitely come again. Thank you!!!
Great and lively tour to discover Valencia’s historic city center. Our guide was very friendly and giving good insights especially on the history but also on the daily culture.
We did this free tour of Valencia with a group of Belgian students and teachers, and the experience was unbeatable. From the very first moment, he knew how to adapt perfectly to the group, creating a very pleasant and close atmosphere. The tour was in English, with a practically native level, which allowed everyone to enjoy the visit immensely. He explained the history of Valencia in a very dynamic way, combining cultural information with a lot of curiosities and details that even those of us from here were unaware of. In addition to being a great professional, he was very kind, attentive, and managed to make everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire tour. I recommend it 100%. Without a doubt, I will repeat; in fact, I hope to organize another tour with him soon with my friends, because I am sure they will love it as much as we did. Thank you very much for such a beautiful experience and for showing us Valencia in a different way!
Great tour and Guide who provided great historical info with many fun facts and recommendations. Brought Valencia to life for us and have much more appreciation of this fabulous City. Would definitely recommend.
Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and created a good rapport within our group. The tour gave us a great overview of the city’s history and cultural heritage and helped us to identify sites we wanted to return to see in depth. Our only suggestion would be for our guide to have an identifying sign at the meeting point as it was a little difficult to find him given the number of other tour groups meeting at the same location. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend the tour.
I'm very glad to know the tour was hepful for your stay appart from interesting and entertaining, that's my goal. I'll take in consideration what you said about the identifying sign. Thanks for the suggestion and of course thank you for your review and for your company!
Our guide was absolutely excellent. His knowledge and ability to convey so much interesting information about the history of Valencia and its current times was impressive, especially as he was speaking it in English and not Italian. We would definitely recommend this guided tour by him. Full marks, thank you!!
