What to expect
Your guide meets you and leads a small group through Valencia's neighbourhoods, ducking into family-run shops and casual tapas bars. At each stop, you'll try a different dish whilst your guide explains its origins and cultural significance. The pace is unhurried, allowing time to chat with fellow food enthusiasts and ask questions. Drinks are woven throughout—sample local wines or alternatives if you prefer. Expect genuine neighbourhood spots rather than tourist traps, with authentic preparations and honest portions that genuinely add up to a meal's worth of food.
