Hello there! My name is John and I've lived in various places around the world, including New York City, Miami, Austin, Toronto, New Zealand, London, Lisbon and now I'm here, in beautiful Valencia. I've been here for over six years and it's because the city is obviously gorgeous but the people are wonderful, as well! But it wasn't always like this. This place has seen some incredible, and sometimes bloody, history since its founding as a settlement over 3,000 years ago. It's changed hands more than a few times! I love history and have studied the history of Valencia since I arrived. Let me show you some of my favourite parts and some of its secrets, as well as, where to go to find the best food, beaches and markets! Cheers! Salud!
John was so accommodating since I had to cut my tour to one hour. He was flexible and introduced me to a new are I hadn't seen, explained the history of the key sights and led me back to our starting point where I had to be. Thanks John!
The walking tour was a lot of fun. John, our guide, narrated the history of the city in a very entertaining way which made it all the more interesting. He recommended some good spots which only a local can share. He made our tour memorable. Totally recommend his tour to anyone visiting Valencia for the first time!
This is what I come to Free Walking Tours for! Well-spoken, knowledgeable, funny, and engaging (and very much unlike the all-too-often predictable, "haha"-funny way of other tours). Highly recommended, especially if you are interested in (at times hilariously delivered) history, easy-to-miss details and highly practical tips for exploring Valencia.
