Lucia was a very knowledgeable guide. Not only about the history and architecture of Valencia, but she also had lots of good tips on what to see and when to get the most out of your visit.

This is one of the best walking tours I've been on. The guide was highly knowledgeable and shared her insights into the city. She is also a passionate advocate for the city which really came across in how she talked and delivered the tour. I came away wishing I'd booked a longer stay in the city!
