Additional Information

Join us as we explore Valencia’s incredible heritage with an official local tour guide.

Being a city with a history spanning over 2000 years, we’ll glimpse at all the key historical sites Valencia has to offer.

We’ll immerse ourselves in the culture shaped by Romans, Visigoths, Arabs, and the Crown of Aragon.

If you wish to personalize your tour in the historical district, we’re open to that. However, if you’d like to venture beyond the historical precinct, the cab fare (if required) will need to be covered by you.

Children must be accompanied by an adult
May be operated by a multi-lingual guide
during summer period (July, august and September) try to book early in the morning tour (09:00-10:00 would be the best, or 18:30 as we have light until 22:00 hrs), it isvery warm and complicated to run tours from 11:30 to 17:00.

Intersting & informative tour. - Sonia, having grown up in Valencia and worked many years in the Valencian tourist industry, was a wealth of information, very helpful & friendly, and just plain fun as a 2-hr companion. Highly recommend as a tour for 2+ (I was alone and paid a premium for that, making the tour a bit pricey).

Memorable tour - Sonia was our guide for the private downtown tour. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. We enjoyed every minute of this tour. Before leaving she gave us detailed tips for the next few days of our stay in Valencia. Thank you!

Fernando was... - Fernando was knowledgeable, very friendly, and when we told him we like history, he shared much about the history of Valencia. He pointed out little things like interpretations of carvings that gave me a much better understanding than I would have had if I were just seeing it on my own. My 82 year old mom was able to keep up with the pace he set - he catered the tour to us because it was private for 4 people in my family. It was fun to hear a local’s perspective. Recommend!

Private tour was great for a slower family member - We got a nice tour of the city with Ferron. He was able to provide historical details and answer our questions. We had a slower family member so he adjusted our pace to accommodate her. He brought us into two small museums we wouldn’t have noticed without him. It was very enjoyable for all.
