Great insights! - The tour was very good and Sara was an excellent host. She knew so many details about the city that came alive to us. Things that we had no idea about, even if we saw the same thing, made a lot more sense when she told us the history. In fact, that evening we could find the city's court of arms all over the pavement. Thanks to Sara for the great tour.
One suggestion: This is more for the company than for Sara. We would have liked an audio/headset so that we could hear her clearly. There was so much noise around the the railway station and the government house (kids shouting out) that sometimes it was hard to hear Sara even though she spoke loudly.

Old Town with entrance to monuments - Beautiful and very interesting walk with entrance to two really special monuments (the STUPENDOUS Silk Exchange). Gabor, our guide, was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of things effectively. Recommended

Unmissable guided tour! - Excellent English guided tour of the city!
Our guide Gabor was very attentive and explained the essentials of the city!
Gabor was even kind enough to “overflow” his 30-minute visit in order to take his time well.
Thanks to Gabor, I quickly found myself in the city with all the essential historical context.
I highly recommend!

Essentials of Valencia and World Heritage Sites - This tour was a fantastic way to see the city. Our Guide, Maria, was very knowledgeable and informative. She answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond sending us all restaurants in different parts of the city that are favorites of the locals.

The Alcazar and Cathedral - Large group tiuting the Alcazar and Catedral. In Seville, the guide was personable snd knowledgable. The radio sound quality was terrible. I’ve been on other tours of the Escorial and Segovia,Avila & Toledo where the machines sounded better. Also the guide needs to learn how to tslk slower and not drop the ends of her sentences.
