Wir waren sehr begeistert von der Führung von Angela Mari Soler. Sie konnte uns mit ihrem grossen Wissen und ihrer Begeisterung für ihre Stadt einen ganz ausgezeichneten Eindruck vermitteln und wir werden sicher noch einmal nach Valencia kommen.

Above & Beyond

Guia was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. She shared the history of the development of the City of Arts and Sciences and pointed out unique features. Then, since the interior of most of the buildings were closed, she expanded our tour to include parts of old town and the Central Market. Guia took the time to learn about each of our backgrounds and interests, which enriched the tour experience. She continued to share local history as we rambled, and ended our tour by guiding us to an excellent restaurant where we enjoyed Valencian paella and local vinos. Thank you Guia for an excellent tour!
