5A wonderful tour of Valencia
Bogi was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to about the history and architecture of Valencia. The wine and tapas were outstanding as well. We highly recommend this excursion!
5Exceeded our expectations!
Wow, were we pleasantly surprised by this tour! Bogi was a fantastic tour guide. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge about the area and its fascinating history. After a tour of old town we went to a private venue for tapas and wine tasting. The venue was stunning and a place that was only open to our group. The wine flowed all afternoon and the tapas were more than plentiful. We were fortunate enough to be paired with a really nice group of people, which enhanced the experience. We highly recommend booking a tour with Bogi. What a delight!!
5City and Tapas tour
What a wonderful evening !! We spent a good amount of time learning about this beautiful city and Juliane was incredibly knowledgeable. we happened to be the only two people in the group so this made our experience even more special . The tapas we had in the monument was equally as good and we have taken some great memories away from this evening and recipie ideas ! Thank you all , especially Juliane !
5Old Town Valencia with Tapas and Piella lunch
Leisurely walked through the old town area of Valencia. Restaurants, largest open area market in Europe, Roman and Moorish architecture. Lunch was served in a building originally built in the 1100's by the Moors. One original wall remains in this very comfortable covered patio and dining room. Lunch was tapas, cheeses, nuts, olives, wine and paella. Dessert with Moscatel sweet wine. Very good tour and a lovely region of Spain.
5The real Valencia
Very personal and informative. Tualtha was very knowledgable and passionate about her city, the food and the local wines.
5Great tour even in the rain!
This is an excellent tour. It isn’t a walking food tour. The food is in the middle of the tour at a very special place. There is lots of food and wine. It combines old and new Valencia. Our guide was Martha and she is delightful. Very knowledgeable and very passionate about Valencia.
