About this experience

A perfect opportunity to explore authentic local life outside of the city center. Your full-day tour is completely private, only for you and your party, including a private guide and private transportation. Since your tour is catered specifically to you and your interests, you are free to customize any part of the tour. This tour is a full day of history, seeing caves that were used in pre-historic caves (only the opening), and you get a boat ride through nature's cathedral and Europe's longest subterranean river. We will eat lunch somewhere typical (lunch price not included and we cater to all lunch budgets) and you will see fabulous Roman remains of Sagunto, where the 2nd Punic War started, and the biggest Roman fort still left on the Iberian peninsula. Uniquely, we also have a great deal of tangible Jewish history here and you will see a Jewish Rabbi cementary, Mikveh and 14th century jewish quarter among other hidden treasures in this off-the-beaten-path area.
