Great port day - I had an amazing experience on the tapas and city tour with Martha! She was so sweet, knowledgable, and passionate about Valencia. We learned so much about the city's history and culture while strolling through its beautiful streets. The tapas we tried were absolutely delicious, and the wine pairings were perfect. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Valencia - it was a true highlight of my trip!

Best tour we’re ever taken plus high end tapas and wines in a private serene setting. - Good info to know going into this: this is not a tapas bar hopping tour. You spend about 3 hours touring and then 1 hour eating. So much better for learning about Valencia.
We met our fabulous guide Martha (the reviews are right on about how great she is) and we traveled in a waiting ride share car to the area of the 17 km park created when the river was diverted following a flood. There we toured the exterior of the Calatrava deigned Art and Science museum, IMAX “Eye” and opera house as she explained the architect’s imagination and purpose. We were very thankful for all the info we got from Martha to better appreciate this marvel.
We took another ride share car to the historical area and Martha gave us a great lesson in Valencia’s long history in a totally enjoyable way. Then we walked a short distance to our final tour destination: the tapas room!
The area was just for the tours by this company and since some folks canceled, it was just the two of us enjoying about 13 different tapas items, from almond and olives to dessert paired with 5 newly opened wines just for us!
Martha suggested since we love art, to visit the St Nicholas chapel and she walked us there before saying goodbye. Great suggestion!
She arranged a ride share to pick us up whenever we were ready to head back to the port. All included in the tour cost.
What an unforgettable experience!

Great tour in Valencia! - We had a fabulous time with Martha! She picked us up in front of the cruise terminal and we were on our way to the area surrounding the City of Arts and Sciences. This time of year we were the only people so we had a private tour for the first half of our time with her. She shared a lot of knowledge as we walked this beautiful part of Valencia. Then we went to the old part of Valencia and met another person that joined our group. We walked and learned about their market, churches and history. We then stopped in a private place and were served a variety of tapas. All delicious. Highly recommend.

A great full day tour with Narwell Tours: Panama Hat making and Pacoche National Reserve were highlights - Our private shore excursion with Narwell tours with group of 11 was a well planned success. 5 stars for our guide Victor and our driver Darwin. Our itinerary was rearranged due to religious celebration, so that we could cover everything that was planned. We visited the elaborately decorated museum to El Faro, a celebrated president of Ecuador during the revolution, the Panama hat making center of Montecristi, the Manta ship building area and the fish market, and the Pacoche National Reserve. I highly recommend this full day trip. Be sure to wear hiking type shoes, sunscreen and hat for walking in the reserve. Reasonably priced and great communication with me during the planning process. I used the Cruise Critic website and the roll call of our ship to organize the tour on the Spreadsheet. Muchos Gracias Victor and Narwell!

Valencia! Wow! - Daniel was an amazing, informative, passionate, and knowledgeable tour guide. Our family of 4 (two adults and two teens) enjoyed our tour of Valencia. Transportation was seamless. Daniel even waited for us for 15 minutes since our cruise ship docked later than expected. The food and wine at the end of the trip was amazing and probably the best we had on our whole vacation. This was a great tour!
