John - Tour Guide in Valencia

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, Portugal and now I'm here, in beautiful Valencia. I've been here for over five years now 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 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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with John. Lots of useful historic and practical information. Good energy, took us on an extensive tour of many of the main sights of Valencia and gave us information about other areas to visit. Followed up with promised advice on areas and places to eat. Highly recommend

John’s tour was perfect! He limits the group sizes to six people, gives quality information and stays energetic for almost three hours. The tips he’s giving are all great and most of the information remains very vivid. One of best walking tours I ever did, highly recommend!

Response from John
