The 10 Best Cultural Tours in Valencia, Valencian Country

July 16, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

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.

A Lovely village but very touristic all year round a lot of tourists visit Guadalest there is a walk up to the village proper.. some lovely views too of the Reservoir and greenery down below in the valley One or two museums to one is a House made in to a museum to show how people in Guadalest lived in days gone by. there was a small entrance fee too as it is privately owned. Lots of souvenir shops too but good stuff inside them not trash.

We had a great trip around Valencia in a Tuk tuk with Miguel. Great way to see the city as you can get down lots of small side streets that other transport can’t do. Miguel was knowledgable and tailored the trip to our needs, stopping for photos when we asked. Really good fun and we’d highly recommend

I have so many great things to say about our adventure with Valencia Excursions. My friend and I did the 4x4 off-roading tour and it was the highlight of our stay in Valencia. Our tour guide was Rafa, and he was so friendly and very informative. We learned so much about the rich history of Valencia and the sites that we saw on the tour. He made us feel very welcomed. We enjoyed the tapas and drinks at the top of the mountain. It’s also very nice that pickup and drop off is included, as well as pictures/videos from the GoPro. Nicole is lovely as well. She responds very quickly to messages and organized a great trip for us. Thanks for an amazing time!
