Valencia Private E-Scooter Tour: Turia Gardens & Arts Complex

Summary

Discover Valencia’s Sights by E-Scooter with a Local Guide

You’ll see Valencia’s highlights in one go—historic towers, lush gardens, wild architecture, and the sea breeze at the beach—all with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story.

What’s the experience like?

Right from the start, you feel the city’s energy. We kicked off in a lively square—locals chatting over coffee, pigeons darting between tables. Our guide handed out e-scooters (super easy to use, even if you haven’t tried one before) and we zipped off toward the Serranos Towers. The old stone gate looks even taller up close, and if you listen carefully, you might catch the distant bells from a nearby church.

The best part? Gliding through the Turia Riverbed Gardens. It’s huge—palms and orange trees everywhere, and the air smells faintly sweet after last night’s rain. We passed joggers, families on bikes, even a guy playing guitar under a bridge. Our guide pointed out Roman ruins I’d have missed on my own and stopped at Park Gulliver—kids climbing all over that giant sculpture. You can really see how locals use this park as their backyard.

We cruised on to the City of Arts & Sciences. The buildings look like something from another planet—shiny white curves against the blue sky. Our guide shared stories about how it was built and which movies were filmed here (apparently some scenes from “Tomorrowland”). After that, we headed toward the beach. The breeze picked up, salty and cool, and we watched surfers waiting for waves while sipping water from our bottles. Last stop: the old Royal Gardens—quiet paths, shady spots, and just a few people reading or walking their dogs. It felt like we’d seen every side of Valencia in just a few hours.
