This tour is special because it is planned as a journey through time through more than 2,000 years, visiting the most emblematic buildings where key events in the history of the city took place.

Two hours was only just enough time to give us a taste of the culture and history of Valencia but Lucia was very informative and entertaining and we could recommend this tour if your time in the city is limited.
