The 10 Best Tours in Valencia, Valencian Country

June 18, 2021 Kelli Reichel

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.

Today, I asked private tour for my family. Even though I asked it in this early morning, they've accepted happily and offered magnificent tour. I was really depressed and worried during these days but I recovered all my positive energy through this tour. My family, we are fascinated by the wonderful professional guide named Mimosa. Thank you very much.

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

We laughed a lot during the tour. Daniel told us interesting stories and show us most beautiful sceneries. He even took momerable pictures of us. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who visit Valencia.

It is a fresh, dynamic, fun and different excursion. Outdoors, private and for very small groups. It is an excursion on a sailboat, in which you go alone, with a skipper, but not with other people: it is a private sailboat. We embark at La Marina de Valencia and visit the interior dock and the Copa América facilities from outside (bases, Veles e vents, etc.), We will see the traditional constructions such as the old dry dock, the fish market and the sheds. We will go sailing in the open sea, in front of the Cabanyal and La Malvarrosa beaches, to see the skyline of the city of Valencia from the sea. Our skipper, if you feel like it, can teach you basic notions of sailing for an even more enriching experience, which you will surely want to repeat!

Inclusions: All Fees and Taxes, Bottled water, Soda/Pop, Boat, skipper, mooring, insurance and fuel
