Summary

Starting at your preferred time and a central location of your choice, your guide will lead you through the ancient streets of the historic city center, recounting stories from the Roman, Moorish, and Medieval eras. You will have the chance to marvel at some of the most stunning architecture in Spain, including Roman ruins dating back from 138 B.C. as well as Valencia's towering cathedral, which, according to legend, is home to the Holy Grail. Descend into the L'Almiona Archeological Museum with your expert guide, where you will see first-hand the uncovered Roman ruins that made up the city streets more than a thousand years ago.

Please note that the Central Market is closed on Sundays and daily after 3PM, but Valencia Private Tours will supplement the market tasting for a tapas tasting at one of our favorite local restaurants.

Your guide would be happy to give suggests for restaurants and shopping in the city center.
