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!
The tour was very interesting. John is passionate about history and told us lots of anecdotes while showing us the most beautiful places in the city! We highly recommend his tours!
John was an absolutely outstanding guide and truly the perfect person to discover Valencia with. He has deep, in-depth knowledge of the city, its architecture, and its history, but what really sets him apart is how he delivers it. He is funny and an excellent storyteller, so even if you’re not usually interested in history, you’ll be completely engaged. We were very interested, and John went the extra mile by extending the tour and taking extra time to dive deeper into the topics we cared about. He had thoughtful answers to all of our questions and never made anything feel rushed. On top of that, he gave us great recommendations on where to eat and which museums and churches are truly worth visiting. Highly recommended, this tour exceeded all our expectations thanks to John.
One of the best, if not the best, tour I've had on GuruWalk! John was a fantastic guide. He was clearly very passionate about Valencia and had a deep knowledge of the history of the city. He managed to bring the history and important information to life with his dynamic storytelling and good humour. John also keeps his tour groups small (less than six) for a better experience which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour to others. Note: John only accepts cash tips so be prepared to pay with cash at the end.
John has a great sense of humor and that made me enjoy the tour so very much! Thanks!
