Amazing Tour Experience - This was one of the best tours I have taken! We booked the tour and received a message from the guide asking if we needed a taxi from the train station in Valencia. We did and they provided a taxi that was waiting when we arrived. The train from Valencia Nord was around 40min. The venue is beautiful and our tour guide was the best. We explored the property, picked oranges, tasted a variety of oranges and lemons, and at the end, tasted freshly squeezed orange juice. The blood oranges were delicious. The guide showed us around the entire property explaining the history and process! Fantastic tour. Would highly recommend when visiting Valencia.

A delightful morning - A lovely morning walking through the orange trees. We sampled fruits from the trees and learnt a lot about the history and how they are grown. We took the train from Valencia tickets cost 12 euros and walked the 25 minutes up to the meeting point. We had refreshments and had an opportunity to purchase jams marmalades and other items from a small shop. Ana was delightful as our guide. Definitely recommend it

Worth the trip - We visited this farm on a warm afternoon, mid November. The guide was pleasant, speaking good English and very good French. She gave a brief history of the heyday of orange farming in Spain, and its current situation. Then we followed her through the orange trees, and saw a vide variety of citrus fruit. There are 10,000 trees, set in a beautiful valley, with many small orange farms rolling through the valley. The tour ended with a pause on the balcony, overlooking the whole farm. Beautiful site, and we were given fresh lemonade, which was neither bitter nor too sweet, we ate mandarines, and taste-tested the cookies the marmalade and other products available in the gift shop. It was a lovely time for me, my wife and our adult daughter, who had gifted the visit for her mother's birthday.

A great experience - We liked our stay in Huerto Ribera very much. After a warmly welcome in a very familiar and cosy atmosphere we learned a lot about oranges and different other fruits. From one of them, the "Hand of Buddha" we never heard before. It was a pleasure for us to see and taste the fruit. And there were enough other opportunities to taste different fruits and sweets made of lemon fruits. Huerto Ribera really is a small paradise. We can recommand this tour to everybody.

Amazing experience!! - We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful experience! Teresa took us through this incredible grove and taught us about all the different varieties of citrus growing around us. We picked oranges right off the trees and got to eat them on the grove!

Recommend this tour :) - This orange tree farm was really beautiful. Easy train ride to come from Valencia and Teresa kindly organized a taxi to and from the train station to farm. She shared a lot of interesting facts about oranges and other citrus fruits. My group and I enjoyed this activity. It felt a bit rushed at the end, I wish there had been more time to take pictures. Overall, I would recommend to anyone that is thinking of doing this. :)
