Tour description

😲Not everyone knows that, in Valencia…

           • …a single bat became the greatest hero and guardian of the city.

           • …the first paellas used an “unusual” ingredient that was banned and remains forbidden today.

           •… people here were once terrified of the deadly “turkey birds

           • …the Holy Grail of Jesus Christ ended up here… and is still kept in the city

           • …there’s a house so narrow that not too many people could get inside

           • … a building so powerful it once controlled the silk trade across the Mediterranean

           • …

The answers to all these mysteries are waiting for you on the Complete Express Free Tour of Valencia. 


In just 2 hours, you’ll explore the essence of Valencia through a route that connects its most iconic squares, monuments and hidden corners. As we walk through places such as Plaza de la Virgen, Plaza de la Reina and the lively Market Square, you’ll start to see how each space tells a different part of Valencia’s story. From the impressive Serranos Towers to the bustling Central Market and even the narrowest façade in Spain, every stop has something surprising to offer. Along the way, you will learn curious stories, like how a simple bat became the city’s most important hero, or why people here were once feared the so-called “turkeys birds”.


Throughout the tour, you’ll also get closer to local culture and traditions, including the origins of paella and the influence of Romans, Visigoths, Arabs and Christians on the city. You will discover the importance of the Fallas festival, as well as traditional drinks like horchata. Of course, you will also receive recommendations for authentic places to eat and drink, so you can continue enjoying Valencia after the tour.


The tour is designed to be dynamic, easy to follow and enjoyable from start to finish, combining storytelling, history and a bit of humor. Whether it’s your first time in Valencia or you’re coming back, this experience will help you see the city in a different and more meaningful way.
