The experience

What makes this tour work is the guide handling the navigation. You cycle through the city's most vibrant stretches (Ruzafa with its street art and nightlife, the neoclassical Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the Mercado Central, one of Europe's largest fresh food markets), while the guide picks the safest streets and keeps the group moving at a relaxed pace. The route covers more than 25 stops, so you're not lingering at each one. Instead you're building a map of the city as you ride.

The middle of the tour takes you through Valencia's medieval core: the Silk Exchange, a 15th-century Gothic masterpiece; the Cathedral, built over a Roman temple and now holding the Santo Caliz Chapel; the Serranos Towers, one of only two surviving gates from the old city wall. Then you break in the Turia Gardens, a 9-kilometer urban park that replaced a riverbed after a devastating flood. The community chose green space over a highway, and now it cuts through the entire city as a continuous ribbon of trees and open air.

The final stretch carries you to the City of Arts and Sciences, where Santiago Calatrava's futuristic buildings (the Hemisfèric, the Science Museum shaped like a whale skeleton, the Oceanogràfic aquarium) mark the edge of the modern waterfront. You finish the ride there, having covered the old town, the neighborhoods, the gardens and the new landmarks in one morning or afternoon. The bike is comfortable and fast, the helmet and lock are yours for the ride, and water is included.

What’s included

• Comfortable and fast bike with helmet and lock.
• bottled water.
• guide navigation through the city's streets so you can focus on the ride instead of directions.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, German, Ukrainian, Polish and Dutch.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

How much of the Turia Gardens do we actually cycle through on this tour?

The Turia Gardens run 9 kilometers through the entire city, and the tour includes a break in the gardens as part of the route. You cycle through a section of it on the way to the City of Arts and Sciences, but the tour doesn't cover the full length. It's a rest stop and a landmark, not the whole park.

What's the Mercado Central actually like when we stop there?

The Mercado Central is the oldest and largest market in Spain, a modernist building from 1914 with a vast interior filled with fresh food stalls, produce and vendors. The tour passes through it as one of the 25 stops, so you see the scale and the energy of it, though the stop itself is brief since the route covers so much ground.

Can I book this tour if I'm arriving tomorrow and want to go the next day?

Bookings made less than 24 hours in advance don't guarantee guide availability in your selected language. You may be offered an alternative time or a different language, so it's worth checking what's available before you book.

Does the route change during the Fallas festival in March?

Yes. During the Fallas festival (March 1–19), the guide may adapt the route to ensure a smoother, safer and more comfortable experience. The 25 highlights stay the same, but the streets you take to reach them may shift depending on festival activity.

Is this tour suitable if I haven't cycled in a while?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels and the pace is relaxed, so returning to cycling is manageable. The bikes are comfortable and fast, and the guide sets the speed. However, the tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, and there's a maximum weight limit of 120 kg.
