About this experience

It is an interactive and participative route in which the attendees are not passive agents that are limited to listening. Participants have to solve different challenges and participate in fun games to gather information and take an active part in the explanations and discoveries. In these tours, the guests are the protagonists and the experience is personalized according to the preferences of the group. With flexibility, without haste and with fun, laughter and surprises guaranteed to discover Valencia in a different way.

What makes this tour different from other walking tours?
Games and interaction with the group.
