About this tour
A guided walk through Valencia's historic quarter with a knowledgeable local who reveals the city's layers—from medieval mercantile power to modernist architecture. Over two and a half hours, you'll explore the 15th-century Silk Exchange, the L'Almoina Archaeological Museum, and the early 1900s Central Market, with museum entries included. Groups of six or fewer get to taste horchata and fartons, regional specialities that anchor Valencian food culture.

What to expect
You'll move at a steady pace through narrow streets and plazas, stopping to examine architectural details and hear stories tied to each location. The guide contextualises what you're seeing—how the Silk Exchange shaped Valencia's wealth, what the archaeological finds tell us about Roman settlement, why the market's design mattered to early 20th-century planners. If your group is small enough, you'll sit briefly to taste local sweets and the milky horchata drink; this is not a restaurant experience, but a genuine flavour of what locals eat.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes; the route involves cobblestones and some inclines. The tour runs rain or shine. Museum entries are covered, but gratuities and additional food or drink are separate. Prams, strollers, and wheelchair access are fully supported throughout.
