About this tour
This 4–5 hour private tour covers Valencia's essential layers in one arc: the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences with guided walkthrough, a scenic drive past the transformed riverbed gardens, then the old quarter on foot. You'll enter the cathedral and UNESCO-listed La Lonja, finish with horchata in a traditional café, and meet your English-speaking guide at the port. It's a structured introduction threading together architecture, heritage and local flavour without rushing.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the port and drives you first to the City of Arts and Sciences, where you'll walk the futuristic complex with commentary. Next comes a seated panoramic loop past the gardens and city landmarks. The final third shifts pace—you'll walk the old town's tight streets, pause at the cathedral and La Lonja, then sit down with a glass of horchata. The itinerary balances looking and moving; expect 2–3 hours on foot total, mixed with driving and one proper stop for a drink. You can bolt on meals, museums or Albufera if you want more depth.
