Great food tour! - Vivi is a great food tour guide- she gives really enthusiastic and engaging introductions to every establishment and food item. She tells us tidbits about history, shows us cute and interesting places and neighborhoods and, most importantly, brings us the best foods and drinks! I learned so much and felt so happy after this tour. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Highly recommend.

Well worth the money- interesting and delicious - Vivi knows everything there is to know about this wonderful city. She is intelligent and interesting to listen to and all the food stops were superb- no tourist traps, just really high quality food that represented the best of valencia. Each stop told a different story and from different eras and cultures that shaped the history of this part of Spain. So many highlights We thought the market was exceptional with the freshest of every fruit , vegetables, meat and fish - the eels were so fresh they were still swimming! It’s such a shame I couldn’t take some of the items home with me So many different tastes - the Vermouth de Casa, Horchata and Fartos the finest aged ham, the list goes on At the end of the tour we wanted try some ice cream and Vivi showed us the best in the city even though it wasn’t part of the tour. We would highly recommend Vivi- she gives so much of herself, and makes it so enjoyable. Some guides learn a script and just spout it off - Vivi makes it accessible and personal Many thanks We had a ball 😊

True Valencia Experience - We had a wonderful experience with Vivi. She is fabulous, fun, and incredibly friendly. We tried so many great things — nougat, sardines, horchata, croquettes, and plenty of drinks along the way. What is there not to love? I would highly recommend her tour. You also get a great sense of the city with the history she shares — Roman, Arabic, and Spanish influences — so it really feels like two experiences in one. We had such a lovely time at the market that we went back the next day for oysters and fresh spot prawns.

Loved our tour with Vivi! - We are two Canadian semi-retired couples staying in Valencia for a whirlwind visit. Today we did Valencia’s Greatest Food, History and Culture Tour with Vivi. The focus was on the Old Town of Valencia. It was about 3 hours long with plenty of spots along the way to rest as Vivi explained different aspects of the Valencian/Spanish culture and the history of Valencia. While we have been to Spain many times, we all came away with something we did not know before about the culture as well as a wealth of information about the history and people of Valencia. Vivi is charming, extremely engaging and knowledgeable. She chose a diversity of places to stop for tastings including the signature Horchata. We had a serious seafood allergy and someone who was gluten free in our group and she seamlessly and caringly found alternatives for them to sample along the way. I can’t recommend Vivi enough as a guide. She is definitely a 5/5.
