Private Welcome to Valencia: 2-hour Introductory Tour
The perfect starting point for any first visit to Valencia, this private 2-hour tour covers the city's most iconic landmarks with the insight and context that only a local guide can provide. Starting at the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, Valencia's civic heart, framed by the stately City Hall and the ornate Central Post Office, the route moves through the Mercado Central, one of Europe's largest fresh produce markets, celebrated for its stunning modernist facade and intricate stained glass windows.
The tour then pauses at the Lonja de la Seda, a 15th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site that tells the story of Valencia's golden age as a Mediterranean silk-trading hub. Valencia Cathedral, a compelling blend of Gothic, Romanesque, and Baroque design, and the beloved Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados follow before the tour concludes at the 14th-century Torres de Serranos, one of the last surviving gates of the medieval city wall — with sweeping views over the Turia Gardens beyond.
