I had a wonderful time with Lara and Eduardo as they transported me to Valencia from my London kitchen. They provided a list of ingredients and were charming and patient when I produced my authentic paella. They cook alongside you on Zoom checking precisely browning, liquid levels and all other key processes. Lara is English so I had no worries with communication. Eduardo gave lots of historical and cultural information. I highly recommend this and look forward to visiting Valencia in real life.

I booked this tour on Tuesday for a tour on Saturday. I received a polite correspondence confirming the booking and asking me to suggest a meeting point. I responded. More than 24 hours later, I had not received a reply. I sent a message asking for a confirmation of our plan. No response. The next day I sent a second message, this time in Spanish. No response. On the Friday afternoon before our tour i received a message that our tour was cancelled unless we had a vehicle they could use. , and instructed me to cancel the tour on Tripadvisor. Since we were within the 24 hour window, if I cancelled I would lose all of my money. I asked the tour person for help with this. Two hours passed with no response. I called Tripadvisor support in CA from Spain and resolved the problem. ..not how I want to be spending my vacation time. I understand that problems come up. My complaint is not that the tour was concelled. Timely communications throughout would have made this a good experience even if the tour was ultimately cancelled.
