We were treated to a warm welcome by Kiki and Daniel. This was followed by a pleasant drive through the Valencian countryside, a walk through a very quaint town, a boat ride featuring a gorgeous sunset, followed by a delicious meal. The experience was made most memorable by the congenial atmosphere and many nationalities present on the excursion.

Beautiful sunset

Jessica_S, Apr 2025

Miguel was wonderful. Very well coordinated. The boat ride and sunset was beautiful and lots of fun. The seafood paella was excellent. Our young daughter had a blast and so did we. Highly recommended.

Too expensive for the service offered

Sandrine_L, Apr 2026

We tell you 4 hours of excursions, in fact, after the 30 min of minibus, we arrive at the small village of Albufera, where we offer you a visit of a block without any interest... Then, an absolutely incomprehensible and uninteresting explanation by the captain of the boat in a room in front of a map of the lake, not to mention the big sign indicating the price of the boat trip: 7€ !!!! Finally comes the boat ride, to 32 people in a boat...so very tight... We sail 20 min in the marshes, then the boat stops at the exit of the marshes for 20 min to observe the sunset. Then return to the place of departure... The highlight of the show is the Valencian paella... in a restaurant overlooking a parking lot. Paella very hearty in rice, but only one little piece of chicken... not seen the rabbit, not smelled the spices... fortunately there was sangria .... The only positive thing is this excursion which costs the modest sum of 75 €: the kindness and availability of the two guides!!! Thank you to them and courage!!!

I'm very sorry you didn't enjoy it, but you're not just paying for the boat trip. You're paying 27% (€20.25) that goes to the website (we don't own the website, we only advertise), €7 for the boat trip, plus €30 for the paella menu, total is €57.25 of that €75, we only keep €17.75 per person, from which we have to cover transportation and the guide's salary. The company is left with very little, so the price is practically a steal, but you only see the €7 for the boat trip and nothing else. The explanation given and then the boat trip (45-60 minutes) to watch the sunset are excellent, and people are very happy with them. The paella is also delicious. I don't think it's fair that you give me one star without knowing the cost of everything. The boat has a capacity for 34 people and they are not crammed in, it is large and spacious, so what you say is not true. We don't take you around the town (you did that on your own) because the tour includes the boat ride, an explanation of rice production and the lake, watching the sunset, and eating paella.
