Duration: 8 hours

Location: Valencia City

Experience the very best of Valencia on this full-day private Lifestyle Tour – the perfect introduction for anyone considering relocating to Valencia. With your dedicated guide and private transport, we’ll take you on a journey through Valencia’s vibrant city neighborhoods, and charming suburbs, all at a relaxed, flexible pace.

We begin the morning exploring Valencia’s city center barrios, from the historic Ciutat Vella, with its cobbled streets, stunning plazas, and Gothic architecture, to the creative and lively Ruzafa, full of cafés, galleries, and artisan shops. We may also visit coastal neighborhoods, where colorful fishermen’s houses and the sparkling Mediterranean provide a glimpse of Valencia’s sun-drenched seaside lifestyle. Along the way, we’ll wander down quiet side streets, stop for coffee where the locals do, and soak up the unique atmosphere of each area, giving you a real sense of daily life in the city.

Around midday, we pause for a Valencian lunch (as quick or as relaxed as you prefer) at a local restaurant, where you can enjoy classic paella, fresh seafood, or a quick ‘bocadillo’. This is also a great opportunity to discuss all aspects of living in Valencia (housing, schools, healthcare, transport, and daily life) with your guide, ensuring you gain practical insights and local knowledge.

In the afternoon, we’ll head out to Valencia’s surrounding suburbs and towns that offer a different side of Valencia life. From leafy residential neighborhoods to coastal towns with charming plazas and local amenities, you’ll see the variety of lifestyles, housing options, and communities available outside the city center. Walking streets, visiting squares, and seeing local services firsthand will help you imagine what life could be like beyond the city’s historic heart.

Whether you’re planning a move to Valencia, or simply exploring your options, this full-day relocation tour provides a comprehensive, hands-on experience that shows you everything the city has to offer, from historic streets and vibrant neighborhoods to tranquil suburbs and Mediterranean charm.

With private transport, expert guidance, and a flexible pace, this tour is the perfect way to fall in love with Valencia, discover its lifestyle and rhythms, and gain the confidence to make informed decisions about your new home.

“Such a great day in Valencia. We asked for a neighborhood tour because we are considering a move to Valencia and they is exactly what we got. Walk all over town and Nicole was so knowledgeable she shared nuances about each area. Then we drove out of the central area to see other options. A great tour tailored exactly to our needs.”

“What a wonderful experience touring with Claire last week! Her deep knowledge of the region, enthusiasm, and generosity created such a fun and memorable day in and around Valencia.

Something special about this tour is getting to explore areas outside the city center that we would not have thought to visit on our own. Claire brought these areas to life with context and local insights that gave us a much deeper sense of each place’s character and charm than a guidebook or map could provide. It was truly a delight from start to finish!

Many thanks as well to Kate, who was so easy to communicate with in advance. Her responsiveness and thoughtfulness made planning seamless. So grateful to both of you for making this experience possible!”

“We found this company through a youtube interview with the founder. This was our first trip to Spain and we were looking forward to really getting the feel for Valencia.
Our guide was Carlos. He was absolutely fantastic. He took us through out the city as well as outside the city to see smaller towns.
He was very knowledgeable about all of the neighborhoods and the pros and cons of each. He answered all of our questions expertly. He also recommended the best places to eat!
Aside from all of this, Carlos took us to a restaurant that had double charged us and translated so that the issue was resolved – we have some but not a lot of spanish…
The entire process from initial contact to completion of the walking tour through the city could not have been better. I will definitely reach out to them again in the future.”
