Duration: 5 hours

Location: Valencia City

Take your time and truly savor Valencia on our 5-hour Private Valencia City Highlights Tour, our recommended tour for groups of over 6 people, anyone who enjoys a more relaxed pace, or those who wish to explore more than one historical site. In just five hours, at a pace tailored to you, we’ll give you a complete sense of the city, and show you why Valencia captures the hearts of everyone who visits. You’ll quickly see why so many guests are pleasantly surprised by how much Valencia has to offer, that the masses often miss, through our combination of private transport and walking.

Enjoy a panoramic drive along the golden sands of Malvarrosa Beach, where you can breathe in the Mediterranean air and hear stories about how this seaside stretch became one of Hemingway’s favorite escapes. From there, we’ll pass by our gleaming City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia’s modern icon, with time to stop for photos and a closer look at its incredible design. Our drive continues past the Plaza de Toros bullring, medieval towers, and the Turia riverbed park.

In the historic center, we usually spend anywhere from 2 to 3 hours, depending on your interests and walking speeds. We wander through the Ciutat Vella, our old town and point out the many iconic and hidden gems here. Every corner holds a layer of history — from medieval plazas to Roman foundations and Gothic spires. Your tour includes entrance to up to 2 historical sites, depending on your pace and group size. Most visitors choose the UNESCO-listed La Lonja Silk Exchange, once the Wall Street of the 15th century, or the L’Almoina Archaeological Museum where the Romans founded Valentia in 138 BC. However, we may also go into Valencia’s beautiful Cathedral, boasting the Holy Grail, climb up a Medieval tower, or even into one of our many art museums, or old palaces. If you prefer a lighter pace and perhaps some shopping time, we can simply “peek” into our favorite landmarks together – no rushing, just enjoying.

And of course, we’ll pause for a short break, usually to enjoy horchata and fartons, our beloved local treat (or a similar snack with coffee, if you prefer), either while strolling through the Central Market or during a relaxing stop at a nearby café.

With extra time built in, this extended tour gives us the freedom to take more photos, linger over stories, and truly soak in the sights, sounds, and culture of Valencia. It’s the perfect half-day experience, expanded for a fuller, more immersive adventure — a day you’ll remember long after you leave.
