Overview of your Valencia tour

Valencia has more than 700, 000 people with all its beautiful and different neighborhoods. In the historic center we feel its peculiarity and it seems like a small city, it is very special and walking through the streets we will feel and learn all the historical influences. This tour is oriented to the practice of Spanish. The guide will be in Spanish / English if it is necessary to clarify something; and it is programmed to be an active conversation in addition to listening to me. In addition, I will focus it so that we can converse, as far as possible, casually with local people, such as in stores, in the restaurant, in museums, and I will serve as support. We will visit very special and less crowded streets and also, upon request, we will visit monumental buildings and beautiful squares. We will have opportunities to share. This tour will also guide you to walk through the center and you will have places to visit if you stay in Valencia for other days.
