We enjoy very much the trip. Our guide was very good, she really loves her job. She tolds us everything about the history of Albufera, showed a lot of interesting places. The boat tour in the lagoon at sunset was really gorgeous.

Dani is a very nice and knowledgeable guy who is open minded and very curious to his guests and history. Very nice tour, good length and great wine tasting combined with lovely food.

Great experience and Mike was a wonderful guide! I highly recommend the tour.

Great time. Can get a bit windy so bring a jacket if it’s not mid-summer.

Maria was enthusiastic and knowledgable about the history of Valencia.
