I traveled to Valencia by way of a cruise, with my Mom and my 2.5 year old, jet lagged toddler. He decided it was a good day to be a total pill, but our guide, Sonia, was a godsend. She was patient and kind and accommodating and very knowledgeable. If we make it back to Valencia, we will be booking another tour with Sonia, for sure! Traveling with a toddler is already stressful, and we have definitely had some guides who were not kid-friendly - Sonia was a breath of fresh air, and made at least one of our travel days a little less stressful and a little more relaxed. I'm forever grateful!

Fabulous tour -- and fabulous guide! Even though it was a last-minute plan, everything was perfectly orchestrated for our group of 10. Coordinating with Kate was perfect!

This experience was one of the best tours I've been on in my many trips to Spain. Josep was an absolute rock star. We started very early, drove around many points in and around Valencia, shared stories of our love for Spain and Valencia and other aspects of our lives. We then stopped at a beach front cafe for a coffee and a look at a map to see what we had covered and how different parts of Valencia are situated. We walked and drove around some more after our coffee stop, and around lunch time we hit a restaurant for a nice lunch and break from the sun lol. After lunch we ventured around the Arts and Science area and checked on public transportation stops and stations, as I'm always interested in jumping on a bus or train like a local and seeing the cities from that vantage point. It was an all day tour, so a lot of information, a lot of questions, some walking some driving, a lot of talking.... but I feel way more informed about beautiful Valencia than I did before my trip there. Josep was patient, funny, very easy going and easy to talk to, he was very familiar with Valencia and it's surrounding areas, and overall just a good person to have as a guide and as a mentor on the many things that make up Spain. If you are interested in learning about the different neighborhoods of Valencia and the mixed cultures that make up the city, sign up for either a half day or full day tour. You can't go wrong either way.

My wife and I spent a full day with Kate on the Valencia Lifestyle tour. We had so much fun and learned so much about Valencia! Kate is amazing! Not only is Kate a really fun person to spend a day with, but she also really knows her stuff. She told us everything we would ever need to know about all the different neighborhoods in Valencia and the surrounding area with a lot of history information mixed in. We have already recommended Valencia Private Tours to friends who are traveling to the region and would definitely look to book additional tours with them on future visits.

Vincent was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the tour very much. He went above and beyond to give us the best experience

If you are in València, and you want to actually learn about the beautiful city you are visiting, then book with Valecia private tours. Kate’s communication, while doing tours herself, never missed a beat. We scheduled last minute and the professionalism was unbeatable. Carlos was our Guide and he is not a tour guide, he is an incredible Human being. His knowledge is in unmatched, and it felt like we were walking with an old friend.

Valencia Private Tours was able to accommodate us with a late tour request. They met us for a late start since we were traveling into Valencia by train. Nicole met us at the train station and did a four hour walking tour. She was very accommodating to stopping when we wanted to and resting. She provided us with an amazing tour of the best sights in historic Valencia. Plus, we jumped in a cab and toured the Arts & Science area. It was a fun packed, educational four hours!!

Nice half day tour from cruise terminal and back to cruise ship with Sonia. Perfect host for individual tours as she was very responsive to our likes and physical limitations. We liked it so much that we plan to come back to see more of that beautiful city.

We had a wonderful experience visiting Valencia and the surrounding area orchestrated by the experienced guides Sonia, Claire and Nicole. Besides visiting Valencia we went to Alcala del Jucar, Teruel and Alabrracim. If you are looking for different and customized experiences, I highly recommend the services of Valencia Private Tours.

After spending the entire day sightseeing.. I needed to unwind so went for a beer at the famous Bear Club and then topped off my night at Zensations Massage For a fantastic massage to relieve all my tensions. Highlight of my day.

My wife and I enjoyed an all-day walking tour with Sarah-Kate Redding. She wonderfully showed us historical, religious, and shopping area across the city. She is knowledgeable, entertaining, and enthusiastic. We have taken personal tours many times over the past 20 years and this was one of the best!! Sarah-Kate is a top talent - her before you leave home - she is very very popular. She can be reached at kate@valenciaprivatetours.com

What a beautiful city and how lucky we were to visit it with our guide, John. He was terrific! He and Sarah-Kate, Valencia Private Tours owner, customized a tour for our group so we were able to visit all the places we wanted to see. We were a group of 11 and John managed to get us around the city with no problem and made sure we saw all the highlights. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating and covered so much with us in such a short amount of time. We even sampled the yummy Valencian sweet drink, Horchata, and a pastry as well! So glad we found this personal tour instead of doing the large scale shore excursion of our cruise ship. Thank you, John and Sarah-Kate, for your hospitality!

Carlos provided us with an excellent private tour of Valencia. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to visit most of the major sights of the city. He provided a terrific introduction to the city and its history. I highly recommended Valencia Private Tours and Carlos.

Manuel picked us up as expected and was a wonderful guide from the start. He accommodated our needs as the tour progressed making it a great day. He is very knowledgeable and shared interesting and fun facts about Valencia. He even helped set up our reservation at La Pepica after the tour. A great tour and tour guide.

I highly recommend this tour group. Sonia was our personal guide for two days in Valencia. She was wonderful. She was energetic, knowledgeable, very nice and spoke English extremely well. She explained the history of Valencia in a thoughtful manner with great respect for it's background. We experienced food and drink through the tour. She brought us to her family's favorite paella restaurant to experience "real" Valencian paella. If we return for another visit to the South of Spain, we will certainly use this service and Sonia.
