Our guide, Nerea, gave us a nice outing. Showed personal interest, and we could choose where we wanted to end the tour. In the newer part of Valencia we stopped at the Science Museum where we looked with admiration at the architectural art of special buildings for Tennis, museum, Aquarium etc. The guide gave us nice tips about where we can get tasty food and drinks. This was really worth it and so much more fun to see the city in a tuktuk instead of a bus.

Everything was great! The tour in the TukTuk was entertaining and informative. The drivers were in a good mood and clearly enjoyed showing us Valencia. However, we should book another guided tour for the old town, as the TukTuks cannot go there.

Tour was great and fun. The guide was the story-teller, we felt like being detectives. He gave us some clues to guess what could be the name or the function of a certain building. So it was a very entertaining way to get to know the city.

Very professional and friendly guide. Relevant explanations and answers to many questions, all in French, which was very pleasant. A very good time which allows you to discover a large part of the city.

We had a very nice and friendly guide called David.We really enjoyed the tour.He was very informative and had great passion for the city.Would definitely recommend it.
