Explore the beautiful city of Valencia, and get off the beaten track on local led tours that take you to the hidden gems in the city, as well as food and wine experiences that give you a taste of true Valencian cuisine.

From the moment you touch down in Valencia, your passionate, welcoming local host will help you uncover the very best authentic things to see and do in the city, meaning your time is spent packed with activities that make your short break unforgettable.

On your first day, your guide will help you get your bearings on a walking or cycling tour of the city, so that for the rest of your stay you know all the best hidden gems when it comes to places to eat, drink, or simply wander about and soak up the atmosphere.

Your second day is spent as a true Valencian local, as you explore local markets, pick up your own fresh produce, before using it during a paella cooking class that will help you learn about the local, authentic cuisine. In the evening, you’ll be sampling some of the best wine that’s local to the Valencia region, each wine paired with some tapas dishes you will only find in this part of Spain.

Throw in a free day to explore for yourself and travel independently, and you have a unique, off the beaten track city break that goes beyond your standard long weekend, and helps to create memories that last a lifetime.

Your guide will ensure you see beyond the aesthetic beauty of the cobbled streets and the grand colonial architecture, bringing the city to life with old stories and local quirks that help you really get to know Valencian culture.

With all this fresh in your mind, spend the evening at your leisure, soaking up the unique Valencia atmosphere and using your new-found local knowledge to find the perfect place to eat or drink.

Valeria

Born in Valencia (Spain) to Chilean parents, I graduated in Tourism Industry studies which took me to Germany, later, to Uruguay where I finished my degree final project on Wine Tourism. Later I studied sommelier courses WSET Level3 and in 2018 I was fortunate enough to be granted a scholarship by the Taiwanese Government to learn Mandarin Chinese. I feel blessed that I have learned all these different languages at the same time as becoming a cultural ambassador of my destination, as an official licensed guide (in English, German and Mandarin) in Valencia, Castellón & Alicante. Also, riding a bike is my hobby so in 2021 I published a guidebook "The Best Bike Routes in and around Valencia".

Join me on foot or by bike, I would love to show my guests around, taking them off the beaten paths!
