Highlights
  • Pl. del Col·legi del Patriarca, 2 - Sample the most delicious tapas and drinks Valencia has to offer. A unique and fabulous way to eat, drink, and feel like a local in this wonderful Mediterranean city that you would not be able to experience on your own.

Locals in Valencia meet up for a “picaeta”, a word that comes from the verb “picar”, which means to eat small bites of different dishes that everyone shares. And that’s exactly what you will be doing: we will visit some of the city’s best hidden gastronomic gems for a full dinner, where we will share authentic, traditional tapas and drinks in the best company.

This dynamic and fun tapas crawl has four stops, all of them unique and charming in their own way. Away from touristy areas, each stop will showcase the best and tastiest tapas and dishes, like delicious “esgarraet” or “cocas”, ham or seafood croquettes paired with Valencia’s wide array of awarded wines and local drinks like “mistela”, all while you learn about the city’s culture and laid-back way of life from our experienced, passionate guides, who will help you experience all of this through the eyes of a local.

Brilliant experience! - This was a brilliant experience. We went along with our teenage son and 21 yr old daughter and they also enjoyed it. We visited 4 fabulous places that we wouldn't have found ourselves and discovered lovely wines and tapas. We met another lovely family also on our trip and shared a lovely evening. Tatiana our guide was very helpful and told us about the local wines and beers and introduced the various tapas. It was all very fresh and her knowledge was excellent. A truly lovely evening.

Recommended - Nice tour around the city and really really good food. We booked it on our last day in Valencia and it is a nice closure of the visit to Valencia but I really wish we booked it on our first day because we went to places and walked through neighborhoods that we would have liked to know about a bit earlier. Thanks to our tour guide Tatiana for the wonderful time.

Great evening, great food, great experience - Superb evening. We don't usually 'do' organised things but 2nd tome in Valencia and lots of the top rated stuff are more touristy so hoped we' d go a bit off grid with this experience. Absolutely great choices of places, food all delicious and Tatiana was a great host. Thoroughly recommend.

Amazing evening - Fantastic food and drink tour with Benjamin! The group was small and felt very personalised - I was even treated to some extra surprises as it was my birthday! We got to sample many alcoholic drinks including wine, vermut, beer, orange wine, and moscatel, and are delicious food including local dishes, tapas, cold cuts, cheese, then a traditional dessert. Benjamin was very funny and had lots of interesting knowledge to impart. Thanks for an amazing evening!

Awesome Tapas tour experience - Ben was a wonderful host and we had a lovely evening sampling a variety of tapas and drinks around Valencia while getting to know a variety of fellow travelers. The spots we visited had great service and delicious food, Ben gave the cultural and historical background for each item and we got tips on where the locals spend their time. After the tour, most of our group decided to continue the night at one of her recommended bars to have Agua de Valencia. This experience would be great for those traveling with companions or alone who want to meet new people and get a taste of authentic Valencia!

A beautiful experience - This experience is worth every penny when visiting Valencia. I enjoyed every spot we visited and our guide was so kind, sweet, and always answered any of our questions. She was very knowledgeable and gave us several recommendations. It was nice to learn about some of the history and background of the neighborhood we visited and from the stops we made. Learning this from someone that lives in the area and also has a background that represents other cultures within this beautiful city provided with such an authentic experience from her view. You also are part of a group of other tourists from different parts of the world and being able to talk and share this experience with them and at the same time learning from them made this experience that much more meaningful. I am someone who loves to learn about other cultures and this is what you will get from this experience. I highly recommend doing this experience.
