The experience

Since the tour is completely private (just you, your party and your guide), you shape the day around what matters to you. The operator lists ten stops across the city: the Silk Exchange with its 15th-century ornate halls, the Central Market packed with fresh produce and local cheeses, the Cathedral (which claims to house the Holy Grail), the City of Arts and Sciences designed by Santiago Calatrava, Malvarrosa beach on the Mediterranean, the Serranos Towers for a city view, and the plazas and shopping streets in between. If something else catches your interest, the guide will work it in. Entrance to two museums or monuments comes included. The Cathedral costs an extra 5€ per person if you choose it.

The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or one additional language, and your hotel pickup means no navigating transit on arrival. The tour runs 6 to 8 hours depending on what you choose to see and how long you linger. The Central Market visit includes a tasting of horchata, the traditional Valencian sweet drink. The operator can arrange reservations at beachside restaurants, help book tickets to the Oceanografic aquarium, or suggest beach rentals if you want to end the day in the sun. Mobility restrictions and dietary needs are accommodated, and the city center is wheelchair accessible throughout.

You pick your group size at checkout: the option shapes how many people travel together and how the price breaks down, but the private guide and vehicle stay the same. If a traditional Valencian meal is part of your choice, the guide will take you to a local restaurant where you can taste regional favorites. Otherwise, meals and drinks beyond the horchata are on you.

What is the Silk Exchange and why is it worth seeing?

La Lonja de la Seda, or the Silk Exchange, is a UNESCO-protected building that served as Valencia's center of commerce in the 15th century. The structure itself tells the city's story through ornate engravings and gargoyles. If you choose to enter, your guide walks you through the orangerie, the grand hall and the decorated rooms.

Can I visit the Cathedral and what does it cost?

The Cathedral of Valencia is included in your tour as an outside walk-around, where your guide explains the mix of architectural styles built between the 13th and 15th centuries. If you want to go inside to see the artifact claimed to be the Holy Grail, entrance costs 5€ per person and is subject to availability.

The Central Market is part of your tour, and your guide will walk you through the stalls of fresh produce, meats, cheeses, wine, fish and olives. You'll taste some local delicacies there. The market is not available on Sundays, public holidays, or if you book an afternoon tour.

Your guide will show you the complex designed by Santiago Calatrava and Felix Candela and explain its architecture. You can choose to end your tour there and visit the Oceanografic, Europe's largest aquarium and ocean research center. Your guide can make reservations at the underwater restaurant or help you buy tickets.

How does hotel pickup work?
