Tour was very informative, 3 hours went by quickly. We did not have to wait in any of the lines and the guide points out things I would have missed on my own. Our guide kept it well paced and was animated and fun to listen too.

Excellent tour- extremely knowledgeable guide. She gave us a great deal of details about the history. The old river now being used as a 10km park is an amazing green space for the city dwellers. Highly recommended!

Monica was incredibly...

Betsy_C, Jul 2026

Monica was incredibly knowledgeable. She had so much information for us about so many details of the city in its various incarnations from roman to muslim to christian times. We enjoyed all the historical facts as well as the art history content of the basilica and valencia cathedral, the silk exchange, the central market, saint nicholas church and many other structures we passed along the way. It is a lot of walking, but she found us a bathroom at the halfway point and a few places where we could sit down for a bit if needed. We learned so much and Monica was very friendly and a pleasure to learn from. We highly recommend This tour if you want to learn sone history of the city and you enjoy walking around!

A good way to learn about and see Valencia

Luis_S, Jul 2026

This was an outstanding tour through historic parts of Valencia! The Silk Trade building and it's story was very interesting. The Valencia Cathedral was beautiful. However the church of San Nicolas & San Pedro was highlight of the tour. Absolutely stunning artwork and the light show was amazing! A must see for anyone that visits Valencia. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history of Valencia and our stops and also took the time to answer questions. I would recommend this tour to anyone for three reasons, the knowledge of the tour guides, the ability to skip the lines and communication before the tour started was very good.

Interesting tour with knowledgeable guide

Halima_W, Jul 2026

Excellent tour. Found out lots about the sights and Valencia from Paolino. The entrances to the monuments are included which is really good especially on a hot day and you see the long queues waiting in the sun. Highly recommended.

Arts and architecture tour

Pam_C, Jul 2026

We wanted to get an overview of the city history and sites. Catalina was an awesome guide. She was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and truly cared about what we were learning and seeing. I highly recommend her and the tour. Was great to skip the lines at all the venues. Highlight was the light show at St Nicholas church. To note - we did the tour on a Sunday so the Central Market was closed. Not a big deal cause we went back another day.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Pam! We're delighted that Catalina helped bring Valencia's history to life and made your experience so enjoyable. She'll be thrilled to hear your kind words. We hope to welcome you back to Valencia again soon!

Valencia city center is lovely!

Susan_M, Jul 2026

Beautiful and informative tour! Each of the sites were spectacular. City center in Valencia is lovely. Guide was knowledgeable and answered everyone’s questions. It would have been helpful if the guide wore a speaker and we had headsets. At times it was difficult to hear what he was saying at when he turned to whatever we were viewing.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you very much for your review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and that you found the sites and the city center of Valencia beautiful and informative.

Great overall tour of Old Valencia

PETER_S, Jun 2026

Well done. Our guide was very excellent and gave a great experience. We had a financial issue with our payment since there was a slight itinerary change that had to be resolved the day prior. The tour operator was prompt at taking care the issue with several last minute emails.

Old Town Valencia

John_O, May 2026

Great overview of old town Valencia, starting at the Towers of Serrano, the original old city gates. This approach was perfect, because it gave us a framework to understand the rest of the morning. I would give this activity a 5 out of 5. Our guide, Monica, was outstanding. I'd give her a 10 out of 5 if I could!

A lot of churches

Joseph_G, May 2026

This tour was informative - for us it was a lot of information about the churches and not enough about the buildings. We didn’t really enjoy the light show in the church.

As described in the tour overview, the experience focuses strongly on Valencia’s religious art, historic churches, and architecture, including visits to San Nicolas Church, the Cathedral, and La Lonja.

Joaquin was very knowledgeable. He was also aware of special events occurring at the sites we were visiting that day and made sure we got in with enough time to see the best stuff (like the Holy Chalice). He also made sure folks on the tour with limited mobility were accommodated and comfortable.
