¡Hola! Me llamo John y he vivido en varios lugares del mundo, incluyendo Nueva York, Miami, Austin, Toronto, Nueva Zelanda, Londres, Portugal y ahora estoy aquí, en la hermosa Valencia. Llevo aquí más de cinco años y es porque la ciudad es, obviamente, preciosa, ¡pero la gente también es maravillosa! Pero no siempre fue así. Este lugar ha vivido una historia increíble, y a veces sangrienta, desde su fundación como asentamiento hace más de 3000 años. ¡Ha cambiado de manos más de una vez! Me encanta la historia y he estudiado la historia de Valencia desde que llegué. Déjame mostrarte algunas de mis partes favoritas y algunos de sus secretos, así como dónde ir para encontrar la mejor comida, playas y mercados. ¡Saludos! ¡Salud!
We took this tour on our first day in Valencia to get an overview of the city from a local guide. We ended up having a private tour with John as the other party cancelled last minute, and it was great. John was very communicative prior to the tour in confirming meeting instructions. During the walk we learned so much about the unique history of Valencia (and Spain in general) from John. He is very passionate about history and such an entertaining story teller! We enjoyed all of his commentary and appreciated his recommendations for sights and dining to try during the rest of our trip. He even followed up and sent more recommendations via messenger afterwards. We all agreed that it was a nice way to learn the layout of Valencia while understanding more about the background of this unique place. Highly recommend John and the Guru Walk tour!
Ich empfehle die Tour mit John allen Geschichtsinteressierten. Es handelt sich um eine sehr unterhaltsame und informative Tour!
You definitely won’t be bored – his storytelling skills and vast knowledge are absolutely captivating. I’ve been on many guided tours before, but John is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever met. His cultural knowledge is impressive and far-reaching – I even gained new insights related to Hungary – things I had never come across before :) If you’re looking for an informative, engaging, genuinely enjoyable and truly memorable experience, don’t miss this tour. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience, John! :)
John was delightful, animated, enthusiastic and really well informed. He was also very personable, courteous and engaging. The time flew by and we ended the tour knowing far more than when we started.
As a history enthusiast, I found the tour to be both informative and entertaining. As there were not many of us on the tour, we decided to go off-piste and tailor it to our interests. I really recommend treating your guide to a cold beer in the Mercado de Colon.
