Great tour of Valencia’s old town followed by a fantastic dinner and drinks in a private restaurant. Our guide Emma was incredibly knowledgeable about both the city and it’s history as well as the food and wines served. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer evening. Would highly recommend to all as a nice night out in Valencia.
