Visit to Valencia. - The visit has been a great experience by very special corners and places of the city.
The guide’s explanations have not helped to understand which aspects were the most interesting in each place, besides their curiosities.
Thanks for this day!

Tour with a true Valencian - My husband and I did a three-hour private walking tour with Elena. We loved her passion and enthusiasm for Valencia. We felt like we learned a lot. At the end, she went an extra step by calling ahead to a restaurant that was just opening for the day and telling them that a party of two would be coming for Valencian paella, which apparently takes an hour to make. So, we got there, had an appetizer, then our paella was ready.
