Valencia Complete Full Private Day with Hotel Pick up

ADMISSION INCLUDED FOR TWO MUSEUMS/MONUMENTS. Your private guide will take you around the UNESCO-protected Lonja de la Seda, or our Silk Exchange, which was Valencia's center of commerce during the 15th century. The building itself is a testament to Valencia's history, decorated with ornate engravings and gargoyles that tell their own stories. If you choose to include entrance into La Lonja, your guide will take you through the orangerie, the grand hall, and the ornately decorated rooms.

ADMISSION INCLUDED FOR TWO MUSEUMS/MONUMENTS. Your guide will walk with you beside the reflecting pond that acts as a roof for our modern archeological museum, home to the Roman ruins that made up the city of Valencia. If you choose to include entrance into the Almoina, your guide will take you back in time to the Roman era and the very early origins of our city. As the museum is underground, this is a great option for a hot day.

ADMISSION INCLUDED FOR TWO MUSEUMS/MONUMENTS. Supplemental cost of 5€ per person (excluding children). Subject to availability. Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the Cathedral of Valencia is widely considered to be home to the Holy Grail, which you will see if you choose to include entrance into the Cathedral. Your guide will walk you around the outside of the cathedral, explaining the significance of the variety of architectural styles.

(Outside only is the norma) During your tour, your guide will reveal the secrets of the City of Arts and Sciences complex, designed by Valencia’s own Santiago Calatrava and Felix Candela. You can choose to end your tour at the City of Arts and Sciences to visit Europe’s largest aquarium and ocean research center, the Oceanografic. Our guides are happy to make reservations for you at the underwater restaurant or help you purchase tickets to visit the marine life.

No visit to Valencia is complete without a photo stop at the picturesque, wide sandy Malvarrosa beach area. You can choose to end your tour at the beach to soak in some of the Mediterranean sunshine. Our guides are happy to make reservations for you at one of our favorite beachside restaurants or recommend beach rentals for an afternoon in the sun.

During your tour, your guide will take you down the main shopping street in the city, passing by the Romanesque Bullring and the Art Nouveau style train station. Entrance into the train station can be arranged free of charge - please consult when you book your tour.

Decorated in an Art Nouveau style and featuring beautiful stained glass windows and Moorish-style arches, the Mercado Central, or Central Market, or Valencia, is the highlight of the city center. Your guide will take you through the rows of stalls piled high with fresh produce, meats, cheeses, wine, fish, olives, and more. You will have a chance to taste some of the delicacies of Valencia in the Central Market. Not available on Sundays, public holidays, or afternoon tours.

Located in the center of the city, the Plaza del Ayuntamiento is home to Valencia's center of government and town hall.

One of the most beautiful places in Valencia, the Plaza de la Virgen is located in the pedestrian-only historic city center. Your guide will take you through the plaza, showing you the Basilica, the Cathedral, and the fountain in the center of the plaza. You can take a break on your tour here to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine while people watching. You might even spot a few Valencian Falleras dressed in traditional 18th-century gowns.

If you'd like to get a good view of Valencia, we can climb one of the smaller towers in Valencia, one of the old main city gates.
