The experience

How do you cover nine kilometers of gardens, historic gates and futuristic architecture without spending the whole day walking? You ride an e-scooter. The tour starts at the Serranos Towers, one of Valencia's original 12 medieval gates, and from there the guide leads you through the Turia Riverbed Gardens: one of Spain's largest urban parks, planted with tropical trees and palms, dotted with Roman ruins and the Palace of Music. The scooter lets you move between stops without the fatigue of a walking tour, so you actually have energy to stand and look when you reach the City of Arts and Sciences.

The City of Arts and Sciences is the reason most people book this tour. It's a sci-fi-style cultural and architectural complex that looks like nothing else in Valencia, or anywhere else, and the scooter gets you close enough to see the detail without the walk becoming the whole experience. Your private guide narrates the route in your choice of English, Spanish, French or Czech, so you're not following a group or a headset. The pace is yours and the guide adjusts to what interests you. Two hours is enough to hit all three major stops and understand how the city rebuilt itself around this former riverbed.

The scooter, water and guide are included. Service animals are welcome. If you're traveling with an infant, specialized seats are available. The tour suits all fitness levels, though you do need to be comfortable balancing on a scooter and confident enough to ride in city traffic. Public transportation options are nearby if you want to get to the meeting point by metro or bus.

What’s included

Is this one for you?This is a private tour, so the guide and pace are yours alone. Choose it if you want to move through the gardens and architecture without keeping up with a group or waiting for slower walkers. If you prefer to walk and explore at your own speed, or if you're not comfortable on a scooter, a walking tour or self-guided visit to the City of Arts and Sciences would suit you better.
