Amazing immersive tour with a delicious ending!! - Such an amazing immersive tour with incredible tour guide. If you do the tour I am sure all of their tour guides are amazing but if you are lucky enough to have Sharin as your guide you have struck gold.
We met as a group (9 to be precise? The tour does not go over 12 small size is awesome) at the edge of the old city then walked in as a group after introductions. As we stopped at Amazon site after site Sharin told us the history and story of every. We felt surrounded by the ghosts of the past. And she also informed us about the relevance of these sites to Valencia today. It was truly an educational experience as we learned all about the history of Valencia.
We were then taken to their own venue a gorgeous cafe with a lovely outdoor back are wheee we all sat and were treated to glass after glass of amazing local wine and tapas. With each pour Sharin told us about the history of each type of wine we were drinking.
Sharin was (and is) a lovely host person and guide. We are to grateful for this experience and plan to take the tour again upon our return (hopefully this year).
Thank you Sharin!

Great way to experience local food, wine and learn about historic wonderful places - This tour was an incredible way to dive into the history of Valencia. Walking through the Old Town and learning about the historic places and fascinating facts really brought the city to life.
That said, the highlight for me was definitely the food and wine! The tapas were delicious, made with fresh local ingredients, and the wine tasting was such a fun way to discover more about Valencia’s wine culture. I left knowing so much more about local flavors and traditions.
Our host was amazing—super knowledgeable, patient with questions, and full of energy. It also turned out to be a fantastic way to meet people. Even if you’re traveling solo, you’ll leave with new friends.
To top it off, they even gave great recommendations for places to continue the night afterward. Overall, a perfect mix of history, culture, food, wine, and fun. Highly recommended! 🍷✨

My friend and I booked a... - My friend and I booked a tour with Dani and we ended up being the only two people on the tour but we had so much fun! Dani was very accommodating- he gave us the option to switch to a tour with more people or continue with the original time which we chose to do. He was very knowledgeable about Old Town and we learned a lot, our favorite tidbit was about sleeping under the Valencian sun. He answered all our questions and gave us some recommendations for things to do. The food and wine were delicious and it was so neat to hear about the backstory of the wine we were drinking.

Lovely from start to finish - We had a lovely time with our host, Piya, and the other visitors on the tour. It started with an informative walk through the historical part of Valencia. Questions were encouraged and always answered. This was followed by a wine and tapas tasting in a beautiful house. As it was my birthday the day after, Piya even got me a dessert with a candle on it, and everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to me. Afterwards, the whole group went to a pub and enjoyed the evening together. We even exchanged contact details. All in all, it was a perfect tour which I would highly recommend.

Great walking tour; Great guide - Really enjoyed this walking tour of the Old City with Cormac, our guide. Loved his outgoing personality, mixture of history knowledge and added humour. The tour ended with us sampling Valencian cuisine and wines. Again Cormac’s love and knowledge of the food and wines along with his personality was outstanding

Old town tour, tapas, and wine. - Emily was personable and knowledgeable of the old town. My favourite dish was the dessert which was like a deconstructed splice (Aussies will know) but 10 times better. The two white wines were my favourite drinks also.
