Private City Kickstart Tour: Valencia

Tips on what else to see in Valencia, especially San Nicolas. Guide had a great knowledge of the irises history.

Our tour guide was really lacking unfortunately. It all felt very rushed and there was barely any history discussed. We’ve had some incredible tours in Spain but this was by far the worst. Just no passion for the city or for sharing the history. Didn’t seem like he wanted to be there at all.

I had a wonderful tour with Marcos. The information was well structured and linked together beautifully, so I gained a deeper understanding of the beautifil city and its surroundings. I am a tour guides nightmare as I always have lots of questions, but Marcos was ever patient and I really appreciated the extra information. My inner geek was very happy! In addition, I use a mobility scooter to help me get around and this was never a problem - Marcos took care to make sure the route was easy for me to negotiate, but I never felt that this was a difficulty for him. There were many highlights to the morning, but the two that particularly stick out for me were the Archaeological Museum and the Silk Exchange. At the former, Marcos went out of his way to gain me lift access to the Roman level. As an ardent classicist, this made my very happy indeed. At the Silk Exchange we had an excellent discussion about the similarity of customs and practices in varying countries, as well as my learning the truth behind the funding for Christopher Columbus' first expedition. (You will have to take the tour to find out for yourself!) All in all, it was an excellent experience which I heartily recommend.

Christoff was an amazing tour guide; he gave me a brief description of a different places we passed and also taught me about the interesting street art found all throughout the city center. I left the tour feeling like I knew my way around the city and had some new places to check out in further detail. Great tour to start off a trip!

Marcos was an amazing tour guide. Took us on an amazing walking tour and was very knowledgeable of this beautiful city’s history.

Excellent informative tour. Marcos was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of historical information about Valencia and also provided useful tips on what we should do and see during the rest of our stay. Highly recommend the tour.

Our guide, Marcus, was friendly and knowledgeable. This is, as the name suggests, a great tour to do upon arrival. It helped our family decide how we most wanted to spend our time in Valencia.

Excellent tour guide ( Mimoza ) , very informative. She made the tour extremely interesting & showed us amazing historical buildings that we would never have found on our own. We would highly recommend !!

Wonderful tour. Marcos is an incredible and passionate Cicero. He drove us around the old city, in a friendly yet professional mood. Time flew by and now we’re eager to discover the city even further! A must do if you’re in Valencia!

Excellent tour . It was obvious that Mimoza our tour guide loved her job and was passionate about Valencia her adopted city . The old town is a delight and full of so much history. Myself and my husband were very impressed with this tour . Take this tour especially with Mimoza .
