Highly recommended! - We’d never done one of these food tours before and was a bit unsure, but I needn’t have worried as we really enjoyed it, had a great night and it is the perfect way to see the city with a bit of local flavour. As a visitor you’d probably pass by some of the places we ate at on the tour as they’re not ‘touristy’ or are off the beaten track, but they were great. The food was really high quality, there was plenty of it and we always got a warm welcome. Ghita our guide was lovely and sociable and brought the group together well. We met some really interesting people, and had a great night out - what’s not to like! Would highly recommend it.

A lovely evening in Valencia with a chance to try delicious tapas which otherwise I would not know to order, with a chan - A warm and memorable evening in Valencia. The tapas were fantastic—authentic, full of flavor, and thoughtfully chosen. I loved getting to try dishes I wouldn’t have known to order on my own. What truly made the night special, though, was meeting fellow travelers from around the world and sharing stories over glasses of wine, beer, and excellent local vermouth. Victor, our guide, was a lovely and welcoming host—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommended!

Interesting food & drinks - We enjoyed the traditional foods and drinks. The tour took us outside of the Old City into less of tourist experience.

Great way to see Valencia - Good food, wine and company. We were taken to small, family run bars that we would not have found in our own. Jack, our guide, made the whole experience fun and very interesting.

Excellent Tour. Seniors Take Note. - Walking food tours have been our default “go to” familiarization tool for decades whenever we visit a new city, and we are glad that we chose the Valencia Tapas Crawl. Our hostess/guide, Ghita, was very good: personable, and knowledgeable about the sites and the food choices. We enjoyed the diversification of the choices, as well as that of the ages and nationalities of the other participants. As the oldest of the group (at 78) we experience some hearing problems, so the constant multiple conversations and background noise at the various sites detracted a bit from a 100% experience that we may have had in the days before wearing hearing aids. And, while Ghita and our much taller and younger Dutch colleagues kept up a brisk pace between sites (with us at the back of the pack due to hip and knee replacements), we were slower but tenacious. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, the food and drink, and the camaraderie. Although exhausted by the end, we’d do it again. Our issues are ours, however, and we can highly recommend this tour.

Not up to expectations... - Having already done a Food Lover Tour in Barcelona the week prior and having an absolutely amazing guide and experience, I was really looking forward to this tour in Valencia. Unfortunately it did not live up to my expectation. Our group guide was Ghita, and while she was very sweet, she was also low energy and not very engaging. She mentioned several times being tired from a large tour she had led that morning, and it showed. We weren't told any interesting stories or information about the restaurants we were visiting, and she didn't make much effort to describe the foods we were trying. She spent a lot of the time on her phone until it was time to go to the next stop. At the last stop when it was time to go she said her goodbye and left us sitting at the table. I think she was really knowledgeable because when we did get her to talk she seemed to know a lot, but she clearly was not feeling it this night. As far as the food, all the dishes we tried were fine, but none stand out as memorable. Maybe with more explanation about the dish and why it was included on the tour it would have been worth remembering. Again, it was just a disappointing experience after the great one in Barcelona. Everyone has a bad day now and then, so I guess we were the unlucky group that day.
