We had Dani as a tour guide and host for the night. He was absolutely amazing - very knowledgeable, funny, personable, and helped the group get talking! The whole set up of the night was very well thought through (though we also have a vendetta against the small tables in lieu of one big table).

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.

Paul was a great guide. Very personable and shared so much information. We enjoyed our 3 hours with him showing us beautiful old town Valencia.

Maria was enthusiastic and knowledgable about the history of Valencia.
