Very nice experience - We had a tour of the older Gothic area of the city, and then moved on to the newer science focused part of the city. Then rooftop tapas.
The tour guide Martha was one of the highlights of the trip. She was proud of her city and that showed during the tour.
The other highlight was the young chef who made the tapas. Both of these employees are absolute gems.

Great tour in Valencia! - The communication with the company was super. We booked direct and fully understood where they picked us up and when. We were met by our tour guide and her driver the van for the 6 of us was very comfortable.
Shrine was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and a very pleasant demeanor. Great pace. Our group kept going into stores and she had a great attitude. So fun. The food, wine, service, quality, and venue were amazing.

10/10 recommend!! - This was an incredible introduction to the stunning city of Valencia, perfect for cruise ship passengers. our guide contacted us the night before and the morning of the tour to make sure we were okay and arrived on time. Emma was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and a great tour guide! she gave us great insight into living in Valencia and the history of the city. The tour started with an easy walk through the old town, markets and city squares before heading to the city of arts and sciences. we finished with a 8 course Tapas tasting on a roof top terrace with amazing views of the city, the port and the mountains in the distance, accompanied with a great selection of wines, the tapas is to die for! amazing food, wine and great company 10/10 recommend.

Take this Tour!!! - This was a fabulous tour; we had a fantastic time! Bogi was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We were able to see so much of the old and new cities and learn a lot about the history of Valencia. Plus, the tapas and wine at the end of the tour we're the icing on the cake! Plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend this tour. So glad I found it rather than going through the cruise line. They'd easily charge double ;)

See new and historic Valencia with a multi-course tapas and wine tasting! - Bogi was a friendly and helpful guide that made efficient use of our half day tour to cover both the old and new parts of town in Valencia. She met us at the Trasmed cruise terminal, which was a short shuttle ride away from our cruise berth. Ciudad de Artes y Ciencias was definitely a highlight and she took some great pics of us there and at other locations along the way. I didn't expect quite so much walking, but it was manageable. Transportation is via the local Uber-like taxi service, which she arranged for us. The final part of the day was the multi-course tasting at Sea Saffron's rooftop office location, which offered an amazing panoramic view of Valencia. The tapas were tasty and filling, and I was particularly impressed with the wine selection as I wasn't aware that Valencia was a wine producing region. Overall this trip was a great value and much better than shore excursions offered by the cruise line.
