We had an amazing time with Carolina visiting Valencia. She made the extra effort to ensure we were able to visit the city during La Fallas and the key sights within! Her understanding of the culture and history of the city helped us to appreciate Valencia and her people.

My wife and I really enjoyed multiple day tours exploring Alicante and Valencia with Carolina. Carolina is an excellent guide with in-depth knowledge and an ability to change plans in any moment when my wife was unable to walk long distances or climb many steps. Carolina is also such a sweet person as she customized tours of each city to accommodate our special needs, including arranging a wheelchair for the day so we could walk & roll around Valencia’s old town. We also explored villages outside the metropolitan areas where we seemed to have the most fun tasting chocolate at a family-owned factory, and touring a local nougat factory. So delicious!! We highly recommend contacting Carolina to explore Spain, and please ask her to take you to the best ice cream shop we ever visited, which is locally owned and produced in Alicante. Gracias, Carolina!!

Our group of 7 on a cruise enjoyed a great tour of Valencia with Carolina. She went above and beyond to make everyone in our group happy. Carolina was careful to keep us on schedule and helped us secure taxis back to our cruise ship. We loved thqt she showed us the special marketplace and shared stories about this beautiful city. She was very good about messaging. We enjoyed her fun personality.
