Valencia Bike Tour from the City to the Beach, plus Bike Guy App!

JANINE_R, Jun 2026

A morning well spent!

What a fantastic tour! Cannot recommend Luke enough - he was very knowledgeable about the area; giving great tips for drinks spots, best paella in the area, brunch spots, museums to see etc, friendly and great craic! We covered lots in the 3-4 hour tour and as it was our first visit to Valencia it really helped to get our bearings. I would recommend doing this on your 1st day in the city as the next day we hired bikes on our own and explored more of the areas we liked. It’s definitely the best way to get around the city! When we come back to Valencia we will definitely try one of Luke’s other tours! Muchas Gracias ☺️

Best way to enjoy Valencia, when short on time.!

Great tour!! Our guide Jaro loved Valencia and it showed. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture. We had a private tour with 4 people so we were able to make a lot of stops to enjoy the sites. We were only at this port for 7 hours and electric bike tours is the absolutely best way to see a lot of a city and fun. I would highly recommend this tour.

So much fun!

All around this was an amazing experience! Our guide Martha was so informative and knowledgeable. She was able to answer everyone’s questions and gave us a really interesting tour, even giving us time to pop into several churches. She was fun and kind and a blast to be with. The venue for the tapas and wine was magical and beautiful. The food was delicious and they were able to cater to everyone’s dietary restrictions while giving us all the history behind the food and drink. It created a fun vibe for everyone to enjoy the night.

From Valencia: Day Tour in Peniscola, Game of Thrones

Ingrid_E, Jun 2026

A Perfect Day Trip from Valencia

This was an excellent excursion and one of the highlights of our time in Spain. As cruise passengers, we had a limited schedule, and our guide went above and beyond to accommodate us. He thoughtfully rearranged the itinerary so that all of the guided portions of the tour took place at the beginning of the excursion, allowing us to leave early and return to our ship with plenty of time. His flexibility and consideration were greatly appreciated. The tour itself was comprehensive and engaging, providing an excellent overview of the historic castle and old town of Peñíscola. Fans of Game of Thrones will especially enjoy learning about the filming locations and seeing the settings that appeared in the series. Even for those unfamiliar with the show, the history and architecture of the castle are fascinating. Peñíscola is a charming coastal city with beautiful views, picturesque streets, and a relaxed atmosphere. It is well worth visiting in its own right. If you have already explored Valencia and are looking for something different, this tour offers a refreshing change of pace and a chance to experience one of Spain's most attractive historic seaside towns.

San Jose Caves Guided Tour from Valencia

Carole_T, May 2026

Visit the San Jose Caves while in Valencia, Spain

This was a nice way to see Valencia outside of the city and experience the magical feeling inside the San Jose Caves. Ferran was our English guide and he did a great job explaining things during the journey to the Caves. Our driver also did a good job and we felt safe and comfortable. Devices were provided so you only heard the information in your chosen language. Everything was well timed and organized. Ferran and his colleague clearly explained the when and where for everything which kept the group moving along nicely. The Caves and boat ride are truly an experience worth making time for. First time ever for us in any caves and this was the perfect choice.

Valencian paella workshop and visit to the Algiros market

Chris_S, May 2026

Paella and Vino - Perfecto!

This was an absolutely brilliant experience- we not only learned the history of Paella and how to properly prepare it, we shared the time with people from five other countries. We also learned how to cook traditional Spanish omelette and sponge cake for dessert. Pair those with wine and Sangria and it’s as good as it gets!

Essentials of Valencia and its World Heritage Sites

Priya_S, May 2026

Good tour of Valencia

Gabor was a great and knowledgeable guide who showed us some great parts of the city and helped to orient us to Valencia. The tour helped us figure out where to spend most of our time and Gabor had some good recommendations for how to make the most of our trip. Only issue with the trip is that it was a very loud day (St. Mary’s festival) and so the city was extremely chaotic. We could not really hear Gabor for parts of it unless we were inside and that made it tough. Wish the tour had headphones included to hear guide better.

Real Paella Cooking Class – Market Visit & Sangría Workshop

Estrella_B, Mar 2026

This experience will be remembered :)

I did this tour two summers ago while in Spain and I still think about this class often. So much fun making the paella!! They give you unlimited drinks too and applies and honestly, that was a nice surprise. Some tours are quite stingy with the extras. So this was wonderful! And of course, the paella was AMAZING! Definitely do it!!

Seafood Paella cooking class Sangria workshop & Local Market

Patricia_L, Nov 2025

Wonderful cooking class - highly recommend!

This cooking class was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Spain. Guillermo (?) led our market visit, and Jose and Christine were the fantastic chefs who taught our class. They are absolute stars! We opted for the seafood paella option, and all the participants had a chance to prepare the ingredients and cook. Jose gave great instructions and lots of useful tips, and Christine showed us how to make delicious sangria. They had a great rapport and really seemed to enjoy teaching. We enjoyed meeting the other participants, and there was great conversation and a lot of laughter. We highly recommend this class!!
