Julianna was a wonderful guide, and we especially enjoyed the wine tasting after the walking tour. There were multiple rounds of tapas and wine pairings, and all of it was delicious.
A good food tour goes a long way and this one hit the spot. The first part is a walking tour of the major historical places, and stories to go with them. Dani, our guide, was full of information andnlice of his city. The food portion is a sit down in a secret patio, wedged into a slice ofnthe city's vast history. The tapas support the wine and the local wine sates your spirit and palate. Highly recommend.
Warm walk through the center of Valencia. Nice and knowledgeable tour guide, Dani. Quaint location with private wine tasting & tapas that followed.
Thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour with Paula and the tapas & wine pairing. We had a great time and also picked up a few tips on things to see and places to visit. Highly recommend the experience.
Dani was great! A lovely evening, would 100% do it again!
Since it was my first time in Valencia, I decided to start with this tour as a way to get a feel for the city and what I’d be experiencing over the next few days and it turned out to be the best decision! Dani was fantastic, sharing interesting insights and fun facts throughout the walking tour. The highlight was sitting down together afterward to enjoy a wonderful selection of regional tapas and wines. What made the experience especially memorable was the opportunity to really connect with other travelers. I met some wonderful people and came away with great recommendations not only for Valencia, but for other cities as well.
Cormac was an amazing host and great personality, very knowledgeable and an over great person. The tour and experience is great value for money and is a good jump start to get to know Valencia before you go discovering on your own. To all my wine friends, do this tour!
Really enjoyed this walking tour and tapas, so glad I booked it! Paula was a fantastic guide. I was in Valencia for work and had an extra day. I looked up walking tours and this one was highly rated, rightfully so! It was easy to find the meeting place. Paula provided lots of history and information. She was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. She also made sure to find shade for us to stand in while telling us information and stories. It's sooo hot in August, so that was much appreciated. This tour is 1.5 hours walking tour, 2.5 hours wine and tapas. After the lovely walking tour, we went to the private location for wine and tapas. Paula continued to impress by telling us about the local wine and tapas. Overall fantastic, I highly recommend.
Paula, our guide was first class. She was knowledgable, engaging and helpful. The tour haves us the opportunity to learn about the history of Valencia and inspired us to go back and revisit some of these places. The tour included local food and wine and it was a great opportunity to try a variety of regional dishes and wines. I would be happy to recommend this tour.
Paula is the best guide! She is really in love with Valencia and is passionate to share its history with her clients. She also is a great host and will make sure you have great time with the wine and tapas tour!
