Highlights
  • Plaza de la Virgen - The famous Plaza de la Virgen encompasses several historical periods that our guide will reveal with passion and enthusiasm, given that today it is one of the most loved squares by Valencians.
  • Plaça de l’Almoina - It is the “Kilometre 0” of the ancient Roman city. Here you can see one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe.
  • Valencia Cathedral - The Metropolitan Cathedral–Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia, alternatively known as Saint Mary’s Cathedral or Valencia Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic parish church in Valencia.
  • Placa de la Reina - A perfect spot to contemplate the baroque facade of the Cathedral, as well as the famous Miguelete, a 14th century bell tower that serves as a lookout over the city.
  • Santa Catalina Church (Iglesia de Santa Catalina) - The church of Santa Catalina, one of the 10 founding parishes of the city, offers incredible views from the top of its tower, which is considered a jewel of the Baroque period.
  • La Lonja de la Seda - It is striking to see such spectacular and expressive gargoyles on 15th century Wall Street, as if they continue to send an ancient message, and yet so fashionable… I guess, despite the passage of time, people are still the same.
    The now-visitable monument offers an unparalleled version of 15th century life.
  • Mercado Central de Valencia - The central market is located in an ancient trading area, as it is on the same spot where the Arab souk of ancient Balansiya once stood.
    Today, the almost 8000m2 of commercial space is one of the largest covered markets in Europe.
  • Torres de Quart - The second tower that remained standing after the wall was demolished in 1865. It was used as a prison while the wall was being demolished, which is why it is still standing. Today you can still see the cannon marks left by the various wars in its wake.
  • Torres de Serranos - Gothic in style, it is considered to be the main entrance to the city. This was the main entrance for kings and ambassadors.

Amazing private tour of old Valencia - We did a Segway tour. Our guide Santiago was amazing. Half out group had never ridden a Segway before, so he helped us quickly learn. Then he took us on a tour of old Valencia. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared the information in a very accessible and interesting way. He was able to answer all our questions. Another employee Christina joined our group and took pictures of us in front of different places. We could have easily spent more time with Santiago and Christina -- we had an amazing time. I highly recommend this tour!

Guided bike tour of Old Valencia - A brilliant tour of the historic city lead by the witty and knowledgeable David. The tour took in historical buildings, religious buildings and local street art. David clearly knew his stuff and brought everything to life with his vivid descriptions.

Perfectly ride in Valencia - Overjoyed! Highly recommended in the downtown, near park. Perfect bicycles for adults and children. Great price, excellent employee services. We visited and saw a lot in Valencia and we will definitly come again! Also, they have the option of storing suitcases at more cheaper prices than the applications offer. Tnx, one more time!

Amazing tour and friendly staff - As soon as I got to Valencia, I was recommended the Private tour of the Old City, and I can see why! Starting in Placa de la Virgen, it covers the whole historic centre of Valencia, including historic places like Placa de la Reina, Towers of Serrano, Silk exchange, Mercado Central, Placa Redonada and the Cathedral, all explained perfectly by the tour guide whose name is David. He never bores you with useless dates and he is also able to joke occasionally to make the tour more entertaining than it already is, and occasionally distributes bottles of water during the tour. The bikes are very high quality, no one got a punctured wheel and no one had problems with the gears or the breaks. 10/10 recommended.

Start your stay in Valencia with City Bike Tour & Albufera bike tour - David Gomez was an excellent tour guide. A native Valencian, David shared a thorough history of the city and of the strong character and influence of the city’s residents over 2000 years as the city grew and evolved. David shared stories that made the history very interesting and accessible (no saturation of boring dates and facts). The city bike tour was so enjoyable that we went with David a 2nd day on a bike tour to the Albufera. It was an exceptional experience and again David shared the important history of the fight to preserve this beautiful natural wonderland. David was very considerate of the pace, safety and comfort of both rides. Bikes were reliable, well-maintained and sturdy for 2-days of riding. David gets much credit for helping us get to know the beautiful city of Valencia and it environs in the short 2-1/2 days that we were there. Don’t wait to join one of Pelican’s bike tours and ask for David! Many thanks to David and the Pelican team.

Better by Bike - We took the 2-hour option to do the Old City Tour, and like 5 minutes later we were done…it was that good thanks our humorous and very knowledgeable guide, David, who in turn was ably abetted by Patricia, his very pleasant trainee. The tour covered everything we hoped to see, with unexpected nuggets along the way. The bikes were well maintained and perfect for the task, which isn’t always the case on other city tours. Would happily recommend this bike tour company to anyone wanting to get up close and personal with Valencia’s rich history.
