10 City Tours in Valencia That You Shouldn't Miss

October 28, 2021 Brandee Mangan

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.

My husband and I met Sonja for our private tour of Valencia and it was the best time! Sonja took us to the beach, old and new Valencia, to a food market that was a great experience and after walking through town to her favorite place to eat for true Valencia Paella. I will never forget this tour.

We spent our Valentine’s Day with Angela learning about the very rich history of this beautiful city. We moved here during the summer and had been walking around these beautiful buildings not knowing any of the history behind them. Angela was spectacular, she taught us so much and yet merely scratched the surface of the the extremely mixed history of Valencia. She’s is an excellent tour guide as she explains everything clearly. I now walk my dog and am able to recognize some of the Roman, Muslim and Christian influences that made this place we now Call home. I am so impressive but mostly grateful she shared some her knowledge with us. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to visit and curious about Valencia. There is so much to discover and she is 100% the best person to navigate that journey. Thank you so so much.

I had a wonderful time with Lara and Eduardo as they transported me to Valencia from my London kitchen. They provided a list of ingredients and were charming and patient when I produced my authentic paella. They cook alongside you on Zoom checking precisely browning, liquid levels and all other key processes. Lara is English so I had no worries with communication. Eduardo gave lots of historical and cultural information. I highly recommend this and look forward to visiting Valencia in real life.
