Cruise along Valencia’s Turia Riverbed Park, very safe for bicycles along its bike path, stopping for commentary along the way to the famed City of Arts and Sciences. After gorgeous pictures there, and depending on your stamina, we will continue out to the beach area for wide open cycling before returning to the city center.
Valencia is one of the best cities to cycle in in Europe, as it is very flat, so we run bike tours with our private guides for families with baby seats on the back, small bikes and even double or 4-seater bikes with only 2 peddlers, for the less agile. The City Riverbed Bike Tour is a private tour just for you and your party, you can go at the pace you are comfortable with and cover more ground or less ground, depending on your stamina and choice. Your trained private tour guide will keep you safe, with a short tutorial at the beginning of your tour for the ‘rules of the road’, and you will be equipped with a great bike and a helmet.
After meeting at our bike rental partners shop in the city center, we will use the bike paths to head out to the surrounding river bed, fondly still called ‘El Rio’, where a 9km long park has a wide variety of sites from local sports’ fields, roman ruins, outdoor gyms and many people doing yoga, drumming and other interesting things to watch. At the eastern most end is our famed City of Arts and Sciences, where we stroll around (biking on those grounds in prohibited) to see the amazing futuristic architecture. We then continue down the Port Avenue to the Malvarrosa beach with a 5km long promenade that we can go along until your heart’s content or stop to have a bite to eat. We will return to the bike shop in the city center via the modern University area.
