Over 20 years ago, an American family stepped off a plane in Valencia for what was supposed to be just a vacation — and their hearts never left. KC, a professional athlete and former sports agent, and his wife Svenja fell so deeply in love with this city that they made it their forever home.
Two years ago, Markus — an ex-professional basketball player and KC's dear friend — came to visit. What started as a trip to reconnect became a life-changing moment. He and his wife Nastassja couldn't resist Valencia's magic either. Now they're here with their sons, building memories in the same streets we fell in love with all those years ago.

Sport brought our families together, but Valencia made us family.
This tour isn't something we created for business — it's something we created from the heart.
Nastassja's father, a trained chef and passionate singer, sparked something beautiful in us. Inspired by his love for food and culture, Nastassja and Svenja spent countless afternoons wandering Valencia's hidden corners, tasting, laughing, discovering. Every restaurant we share with you, every cultural gem, every quiet moment — we've lived it first. We've felt it. And now we want you to feel it too.
This isn't just a tour. It's an invitation into the city that changed our lives — and the life we've built here together.
