Amazing place with a good audio tour - Such an amazing place to see. The self guided audio tour takes you around the church and tells the history surrounding it. It takes around 30-45 mins.

Spectacular - Valencia Cathedral is an imposing Gothic building that has undergone several changes over the centuries. Its construction began in the 13th century on an old mosque and was completed in the 17th century. The building houses the Chapel of the Holy Chalice, which is believed to contain the Holy Grail.
The cathedral features a mix of architectural styles, from early Gothic to Renaissance and Baroque elements. Its Miguelete tower is one of the most recognizable symbols of Valencia and offers impressive views of the city from above.

Not to be missed - Incredible place and cannot be missed under any circumstances for those who obviously love this type of places where sacredness and Catholic culture serve as a teaching for those who want to discover and go back in time

GUIDED TOUR. - We visited the church with a local guide. Truly beautiful and the work done for the conservation and maintenance of the church should be appreciated.

Advertising is misleading, since you pay three sites to visit and visit only two. - The church of San Nicolás, spectacular and the Silk Museum very interesting. The Church of Santos Juanes closed for renovations, but during the visit they did charge us for it, so we did not see it but we did pay for it

Before purchasing tickets from VIATOR, check the operating hours of attractions on public holidays as they may vary. - We are disappointed because VIATOR sold tickets for the tour "Valencia: San Nicolás, Silk Museum, and Santos Juanes Church" despite the fact that Santos Juanes Church is currently undergoing renovation and was not open on May 1, when we had tickets. The renovation had already started before our visit some months before. I suggest checking the operating hours of attractions on public holidays before purchasing tickets from VIATOR, as the actual operating hours may vary.
Valencia is a fantastic city with a rich history and stunning modern architecture to explore. I highly recommend visiting San Nicolás and the Silk Museum, as they are truly worth experiencing. I hope we will have the opportunity to return to Valencia and also get to know Santos Juanes Church as well.
