It was great for all of us: me, my sister, mom and 2 children. We enjoyed every minute of it and spent there almost all day. There were great views, beautiful locations, wonderful animals. The dolphins, belugas, gigantic turtles, sea lions... If you like animals, you'll love that place. When we finished the excursion, we went to the favourites once again. The one thing that is not great - is the price. It's too high for me and my family.

We loved are experience. It was very informative and loved learning about the oddities of the the architect. As for the food and wine, they were amazing. We had a great group of people and wish the night could have continued. Our guide Kate was amazing.

Mateo was our guide and he did a wonderful job of showing us Valencia and explaining the history. We got to see all the highlights! It was a perfect way to see the city.

Absolutely amazing experience. We would highly recommend this for both adults and children. It was very educational. Loved every minute!

It was quite an experience - must go, when in Valencia.
