“A great way to taste authentic valencian food. Vivi our guide knew everyone and took us to places she shops at for herself. They all knew her and food choices were amazing. Vivi was so personable and welcoming. We bought spices at her favorite place and will be eating dinner where she recommended tonight. Only wish we had taken food tour soon after arriving for paella as place we chose ourselves was no good. She is a true gem and her company is blessed to have her working for them.”

I don’t speak Spanish, and I would be somewhat intimidated trying to figure out where to go & how to order the local foods we ate today. Everything we experienced was authentic, fresh & delicious. A word is advice, come with an appetite & skip breakfast so you can enjoy all the foods offered on the tour. Alex is a native of Valencia, & very informative & passionate about Valencia. She also gave us great advice & suggestions for other activities &…”

When we mentioned we had an early dinner reservation, he adjusted the route on the spot to fit everything in smoothly. Javier was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and showed us parts of Valencia we definitely would’ve missed on our own. Ten out of ten, couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you!”
