Freetour Valencia: COMPLETE Express Experience
The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in English
Description
• What is that terrible mistake that all tourists make with PAELLA?
• And do you know why we have a strange ANIMAL as the symbol of our football team and our city?
You are on vacation and only have a few days in Valencia. You want to make the most of your time. You want to ensure you see all the wonderful places that are truly worth it, take spectacular PHOTOS, learn the stories hidden in its streets, not miss that little detail that changes everything, and take home memories you want to keep. And, of course, you want to enjoy Valencia a little more like we do: know where to try the most TRADITIONAL PAELLAS and the tastiest HORCHATA, without ending up in the typical tourist traps.
That's what I'm here for . I'm Ulises, an OFFICIAL GUIDE in Valencia and also a HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER. I want to show you what makes me fall in love with this city. For 2 hours, we will walk together through its most iconic places: Torres de Serranos, Plaza de la Virgen, Cathedral, Central Market, Silk Exchange, Town Hall Square, and much more.
Perhaps because I'm also a teacher, I like to explain history and monuments in a way that's easy to understand and hard to forget: trivia, anecdotes, games, and mnemonics in which, from time to time, even The Lord of the Rings or Mickey Mouse lend us a hand. Because you have enough on your plate being on vacation without having to listen to an endless list of names and dates.
I want you to have fun, discover things you didn't know, forget about looking at your phone for a while, and go home with a bunch of stories to tell. After all, you're on vacation in Spain. You have to live in the moment.
And when we finish, ask me anything you want. From "Hey, Ulises, I'm staying in the Benimaclet neighborhood, what do you recommend around there?" to "I want to visit a historic town near Valencia, where would you go?" Tell me what you feel like doing and how much time you have left here; I'll be happy to point out what best suits you.
Just one thing: unfortunately, the spots for each tour are limited. If you already know which day you want to join, I recommend not leaving the reservation for the last minute.
See you on the streets of Valencia!

Guide: Ulises
Guiding since 2023PRO
Hi! I’m Ulises 😊, an official tour guide in Valencia and also a high school teacher.
With a name like Ulises, I guess it was inevitable 😄: I’ve always been fascinated by travel, adventures and great stories. I love discovering new places and, above all, being amazed by the stories behind them. After exploring different countries and cultures, there’s something I enjoy even more now: showing other travellers what makes me love Valencia.
Maybe being a teacher has something to do with it, but I’ve never been a big fan of endless lists of names and dates. I prefer stories, questions, anecdotes, games, memory tricks and the occasional unexpected reference to The Lord of the Rings or Mickey Mouse to make history easy to understand and hard to forget.
But most importantly, you’re on holiday. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, joining in, having a laugh and enjoying Valencia, not feeling like you’ve come to a history class.
So come with curiosity and ready to have a good time. Let me show you the Valencia I love. 🙂
