Personable and comfortable tour - We have done many food/wine/history tours and this was by far one of the best! Our guide, Tula, was personable and very knowledgeable. She seemed genuinely interested in getting to know us as we got to know València. The attractions were amazing, located fairly close together and she allowed time to take pictures. The food and wine at the end were incredible as was the environment. We enjoyed the small group and getting to know each other as we experienced some true València flavors!

Old town tour with Tapas & Wine - Amilia was very knowledgeable & so friendly. Even a downpour didn't stop her enthusiasm. The tapas & wine (lots) were such good quality & an excellent way to taste lots of things you might not think of ordering. We were a party of 8 but i think this is a brilliant way to meet people if you were travelling solo. The tapas venue was stunning as well. Not cheap, but it's definitely worth it. Highly recommend this trip for culture and food/wine.

Must do tour! - This is a must do tour in Valencia. We booked the 1-5 PM tour as a private tour excursion while on our Viking Cruise. You just leave a little earlier to take a taxi back to the ship. We did the morning included tour with Viking than stayed in town to do this tour with Bogi. She was amazing. So nice, informative and accommodating!! This is a must do tour if you like a walking tour of Old Town, excellent tapas and wine pairing. We were amazed at the amount of food and wine that was offered! The setting was quite, intimate and unique.

Best Experience with a Food Tour Yet! - We’ve taken walking food tours all over world whenever we visited a new city. It’s the perfect way to get a “first look” at the city and the food. This tour took the experience to a new level. Rather than merely stopping for a brief bite at multiple sites, we were able to walk through a tour of Valencia history, and then ended up at a single restaurant that provided multiple different tapas and courses of Valencia food and wine. Ours was a group of eight that bonded immediately after stopping for the food. It was a wonderful time with new acquaintances. Emily, our tour guide, was the perfect hostess. From a presentational perspective, however, I would offer the suggestion that while explaining sites or historical notes, be sure to turn toward the group rather than toward the site being explained. With background noise, etc, some of us older folks with hearing issues had a difficult time hearing some of the presentation. Face to face is much better. 😉

Fantastic experience! - Our tour with Bogi was fantastic! She was extremely knowledgeable about Valencia history, culture, and of course food and wine! She cultivated a great sense of community within our tour group, which consisted of people from all over the world. The venue was very classy, private, and created an intimate atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable to talk and socialize. Overall, I would recommend this tour to foodies, history buffs, and anybody looking to make some friends in the city.

A must-do in Valencia, especially at the beginning of your visit! - A wonderful preview of the city and its history with recommendations on how to spend your time in Valencia followed by a fabulous tapas meal with a lot of food and fantastic wine pairings. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon/evening in Valencia! And our guide Amelia was a perfect host and guide!!
