Nos encontramos con Amparo en la entrada del oceanográfico puntualmente! Tuvimos una experiencia increíble, ya que Amparo tiene un vasto conocimiento sobre las exhibiciones del acuario. En todo momento nuestras preguntas fueron respondidas con la mayor diligencias. Luego del acuario fuimos al edificio de las ciencias para explorar juntas las exhibiciones. Desde los detalles, comentarios hasta los tips de como volver a nuestro hotel, hicieron de este tour el mejor durante nuestra corta estadía en Valencia. Lo recomendamos 100%!!!

Beautiful tour but with a guided tour I found it paradoxically limiting as it lasts only 120 minutes and you enter at set times, also excessively expensive. Autonomously you would enter at any time and you would have more time to linger in some places. The guide was good but the time of entry was at 16, at 18 ended, at 19 dolphin show (time to go back from the museum of the arts was already 19) at 20 by now there was no more time to go back to spin and see things left out.

Quick and efficient.

The guide assigned to us was able to capture the essential to see, given the limited time available, avoiding the superfluous.
