Free Tour Discover the essentials of Valencia, a two-thousand-year-old city.
In this unique tour, we will discover the essentials of Valencia's historic center. Additionally, we will see other monuments or curiosities that are not covered in other tours. I am a historian and archaeologist, which allows me to fully showcase a city with over 2150 years of history.
Join me on this entertaining adventure and you will learn about: the history, archaeology, art, architecture, traditions, gastronomy, and the Fallas of Valencia!
To understand the mark left by all the cultures that lived here, we will observe the evolution of the city through the following elements:
- The Roman baths from 100 B.C., the oldest in the Peninsula
- The Visigoth mausoleum where the tomb of St. Vincent the Martyr was located
- The 11th-12th century walls and towers of Andalusian Balansiya
- Medieval buildings such as: the Silk Exchange (World Heritage Site), the Serranos Towers, the Generalitat, the Almudín, the Cathedral (with the Tribunal de les Aigües, World Heritage Site) and the churches of St. John of the Hospital and St. Catherine
- The Jewish Quarter and the Humanist Luis Vives

Guiding since 2026PRO
I am an archaeologist by profession, with a degree in Geography and History, a tour guide license, and a Master's degree in Cultural Heritage Management. I know the city very well because I worked for many years excavating in Valencia's historic center, and I know I can share that knowledge with the tourists who visit us. I also worked in Pompeii for several years and on various campaigns. I love art, which is why I travel quite a bit, especially to Italy and throughout Spain. I compiled the Archaeological Guide to the Almoina Archaeological Center and also participated in its museum displays. I have also published two books: "The Islamic Alcázar of Valencia" and "The Institution and Building of the Almoina of Valencia."
