The 10 Best Historical & Heritage Tours in Valencia, Valencian Country

April 30, 2022 Flossie Demartino

You’ll find plenty of orange trees here, but the fruit known as the "Valencia orange" was actually developed in California. Travelers interested in local food should focus on paella instead. While the city contains many monuments, Valencia’s modern crown jewel is the City of Arts and Sciences, a futuristic complex of museums, cinemas, theaters, and more.

We had a great trip around Valencia in a Tuk tuk with Miguel. Great way to see the city as you can get down lots of small side streets that other transport can’t do. Miguel was knowledgable and tailored the trip to our needs, stopping for photos when we asked. Really good fun and we’d highly recommend

Evgenii was very welcoming, informative, passionate and a great photographer helping us love what the city has to offer. Thanks to both Vadym and Evgenii for going over and beyond to help us book in and enjoy the tour.
