Why we recommend it
Valencia Guías is a local guiding company founded in 2003 and based on the Paseo de la Pechina, next to the Turia garden. Over more than two decades it has built up a wide range of experiences in and around the city, from classic walking tours of the historic centre to food, wine and nature trips, and it works with private travellers, groups, schools and companies.
The heart of its programme is cultural sightseeing. Options include a historic Valencia visit focused on the old town, a more complete city tour, a Silk Route themed visit that explores the city's past as a centre of the silk trade, a contemporary architecture tour and an arts-themed visit. There is also a private visit to the opera house, the Palau de les Arts, and visits to the City of Arts and Sciences and the Oceanogràfic. Fully personalised tours can be arranged for any interest.
Food and nature feature strongly too. The company runs visits to the Central Market, Mediterranean cooking classes and trips to wineries, as well as excursions to the Albufera Natural Park, where rice fields, the lagoon and the village of El Palmar show where paella comes from. There are bike tours, run with its partner Valencia Bikes, sailing trips on the Mediterranean and city rallies or treasure-hunt style activities for groups.
Because many of the experiences are tailored, details such as duration, meeting point and price depend on what you book. The best approach is to contact the office, which is open from Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 18:00, by phone or email, or to use the request form on the website, saying how many people are in your group and what you would like to see. Book well in advance for busy periods such as the Fallas in March, Easter and summer.
Valencia Guías suits travellers who want an expert local guide rather than a large group tour, families wanting a private outing, and groups organising a trip or event. It is particularly useful if you want to combine several themes, such as a morning in the old town and an afternoon in the Albufera. The office is close to the Torres de Quart and the western part of the Turia garden.
