Ali is such a nice tour guide. Very friendly and open minded. He took his time and we did not feel in a rush at all. Within the three hours we saw the highlights of Valencia. We stopped at several spots where Ali took care of the bikes while we were given the opportunity to explore the area on our own and take some pictures. We can absolutely recommend the tour.
