About this tour

A guided treasure-hunt through Valencia's old quarter where families solve puzzles at landmarks to uncover tales of the city's legendary dragon. Starting at Torres de Serranos, you'll crack clues woven into historical narratives across two hours. Each challenge teaches something genuine about Valencia's past while keeping kids engaged—think detective work rather than passive sightseeing. Your guide keeps the pace manageable and the stakes fun, so everyone leaves with actual stories to retell, not just photos.

What to expect

You'll meet your guide at Torres de Serranos and receive your first puzzle. From there, the walk loops through old-town streets, stopping at 5–6 key spots where you decode challenges together. Kids spot hidden details in architecture or answer riddles connected to local folklore. It's structured enough that younger children stay focused, but loose enough that curious wanderers can explore side streets. Expect a mix of walking (roughly 2 km) and standing-still thinking time. The guide narrates context so solutions feel earned, not handed over.

Good to know

Bring a small notebook or use the guide's sheet for clue-tracking. Wear comfortable shoes; cobbled streets are uneven but navigable with prams. No physical climbing or scrambling required. Best suited to children aged 6+, though younger kids can tag along if a parent dedicates attention to them. Shaded stops help on warm days.
