Meet Andy

Andy is British and has called Valencia home for over eight years. Passionate about the city’s food, art and local culture, he runs culinary and cultural tours for travelers and cruise passengers and loves introducing visitors to the Valencia he has come to know as a local. He has learned about Spanish cooking and Valencian cuisine by spending time with local chefs, exploring neighborhood markets and cooking alongside Spanish friends. For Andy, food is an essential part of experiencing Valencia. Whether sharing a traditional paella, introducing travelers to local wines or sitting down together over a Valencian meal, he enjoys using food as a way to connect people with the city and its culture. Join Andy for a private Valencia art and food experience that combines some of the city’s most interesting contemporary and classical art with a local Valencian meal and wine. Along the way, Andy shares his personal perspective on the art, food and everyday culture that make Valencia such a special place to call home.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Art Tour & Dining Experience: (2-10 guests) Discover Valencia’s vibrant art, traditional cuisine, and local culture on a private three-hour experience with your host, Andy. Your experience includes admission to the Hortensia Herrero Art Centre, followed by an authentic Valencian meal in Andy’s home. Meet Andy at the Hortensia Herrero Art Centre, one of Valencia’s leading destinations for modern and contemporary art. For added convenience, you can select an optional round-trip transfer, including private taxi pickup from your Valencia hotel or the cruise port. Explore the art centre’s impressive collection while Andy shares insights into Valencia’s art, history, architecture, and culture from a local perspective. During the tour, pause at a neighborhood café for coffee before continuing your exploration. After your private art tour, accompany Andy to a local shop to collect freshly prepared traditional Valencian paella. Then, head to his centrally located home for a relaxed meal and a glimpse into everyday life in Valencia. At Andy’s home, exchange stories, enjoy the sunshine on his terrace—weather permitting—and share an authentic Valencian meal accompanied by local wine or beer. A sample menu may include traditional Valencian paella and home-cooked dishes such as ensalada Valenciana, prepared with fresh Valencian tomatoes and local olives, and Padrón peppers cooked in olive oil. Side dishes may vary according to the season and the availability of local ingredients. Ideal for couples, families, and small groups, this private experience offers the opportunity to visit the Hortensia Herrero Art Centre with a local host, learn about Valencia’s art, history, and culture, taste authentic paella and seasonal dishes, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of a local home. It’s a personalized and memorable alternative to a standard group tour.

Notes: Guests must be 8 years or older. If you choose the optional transfers add-on, you will be picked up by car and dropped off at the end of your experience. Andy can accommodate lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan diets with advance notice. Please share any dietary restrictions or allergies at the time of booking. The experience involves a moderate amount of walking but no steep inclines. Wheelchair access is available; however, the experience may not be suitable for guests who have difficulty walking for extended periods. Please share any mobility or accessibility requirements at the time of booking so arrangements can be discussed in advance.
