I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who visit Valencia.

She also give some good insights into local knowledge concerning architecture and the stalls in the markets. I would recommend this tour as it's beneficial to tourists and relatively inexpensive. Thanks.

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.

Discover the 'Sistine Chapel' of Valencia. This spectacular church is located in the heart of Valencia. Recently restaurated, this beautiful place only opened to the public recently, even though it is one of the oldest churches in Valencia. Funded over 700 years ago, it was previously a gothic temple reformed in the centuries to come to give it the amazing facade that it has today. At the end of the XVII century, its inside walls were absolutely trasnformed and decorated with stunning paintings until they were comepletely covered by an opulent barroque style, which impresses its world visitors. Thanks to the Fundación Hortensia Herrero maecenas, over 2000m2 of these stunning paintings were restored. San Nicolas it's open from Tuesday to Sunday all day and the ticket includes an audioguide, which comfortable allows you to learn about this church.

Inclusions: Entrance Ticket, Audioguide

This is a beautiful and ornate cathedral with soaring ceilings and a lot of sacred art, so much rich detail and a fascinating history spanning the centuries. There’s a museum housing many sacred artifacts and a chapel which displays the Holy Grail (yes, THE Holy Grail!). A useful audio guide is available at the ticket counter to use on your self-paced tour and is included with the admission price. Also, there’s a gift shop but it appears to be rarely open. Looks like you can buy holy cards and rosaries there.
