Top Valencia Day Trips

Great trip . Think it would be a good idea to tell travellers to meet at the coffee shop near the football stadium as we were not sure we were in the right place . The bus was great fully air conditioned. First stop waterfalls would recommend trainers as it’s a steep walk down and you can climb higher . After that lunch in the square lovey really nice sandwiches reasonable price . There are natural water fountains to fill water bottles at the waterfall and the pools . Very windy roads to the top so if you are travel sick you need to prepare for this . Tour guide was all prepared for this with plastic bags we did have someone v sick she was brought to the front of the bus and was better . I get travel sick but had a tablet and was fine . Waterfall was nice and the pools lovely nice swim right amount of time in each place . Changing rooms at the pools and toilets and a small shop . Surprise stop was beautiful as well . Our guide was amazing speaking 5 languages very organised friendly and knowledgeable so helpful . The photographer was also really nice taking lots of pictures and of course we had an amazing bus driver . Really enjoyable day worth the money .

The tour starts with a bus ride to the caves and our tour guide, Uriel, explained things as we passed by Valencia and into the outskirts. Once we got to the caves, we had about 25 minutes to take pictures, grab a water or visit the restrooms. Then, we were allowed to go into the caves. It is a boat ride inside the caves and you are not allowed to take pictures until directed to do so. It feels a little chilly in the cave and that was quite nice considering the summer heat outside. Our bus/tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to be on my boat, but be advised that usually, the cave boat guides only speak Spanish and the bus guide does not usually go on the boats. The caves portion was about 40 minutes long and very interesting. The ride was smooth back to Valencia and it was overall a great trip! It was a great way to start our day.

Leisurely walked through the old town area of Valencia. Restaurants, largest open area market in Europe, Roman and Moorish architecture. Lunch was served in a building originally built in the 1100's by the Moors. One original wall remains in this very comfortable covered patio and dining room. Lunch was tapas, cheeses, nuts, olives, wine and paella. Dessert with Moscatel sweet wine. Very good tour and a lovely region of Spain.

We had an amazing time. Mike was an engaging guide and immediately created a sense of community within the group. We visited a beautiful waterfall before heading to the thermal pools. Mike's place was equipped with plenty of space for folks to change and store their belongings and even had water shoes and noodles and swim boards for everyone. The waters were so refreshing and Mike took us to the best spots. I could have stayed there all day. After, we had a delicious lunch. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

I expected this tour to be amazing but I did not expect to be totally wowed!!! Fiona, our tour guide was incredible. She navigated the streets like a pro while excitingly telling us the fantastic history of Valencia. From Napolionic cannon ball blasts still visible on tower facades to the jaw dropping Calatrava structures in the arts and science area of Valencia. Absolutely amazing!!! Thank you Fiona for an incredible experience! Hope to see you soon!

We had a wonderful afternoon learning about and making paella! The tour started in the market where we learned about the ingredients. We moved on to a sangria workshop and then had a truly hands on experience making paella. It was delicious!! Our chefs were awesome and kept the fun and sangria flowing. Would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again.

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!

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.
