This was an amazing tour! Angela was very knowledgeable about all parts and explained everything thoroughly. I highly recommend doing this tour, especially if you can do it with Angela.

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!

When I went I saw the temporary Pixar exhibition and it was crazy: they showed how they made cartoons! The other exhibits were a bit boring for children because it talked about anatomy 🫀and space🌙 but an adult would have liked them a lot. However, it is worth visiting and is a very nice stop for tourists but also for locals.😃

La visita più spettacolare della città e forse tra tutti gli edifici mai visti. Consiglio biglietti combinati per le entrate, in diverse giornate per non stancarsi troppo.

Excelente guía disfrutamos mucho. Muy informada y amable la visita fue una delicia. Las explicaciones fueron muy completas y amenas, y muy documentadas. Ademas domina varios idiomas y nos dio recomendaciones muy interesantes de la ciudad para comer, etc. Volveremos!

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.
