Highlights
  • Plaza de Toros de Valencia - What is the name of the bullring? Are bullfights still held? Does the building send us some hidden message? - Start the route discovering this emblematic monument.

This building cannot be visited inside unless there is a specific event. The explanations and activities take place outside.

  • Estacio del Nord - Help me decipher the messages and stories that its façade hides and discover its interior with the first challenge of the route.
  • Plaza del Ayuntamiento - The Plaza del Ayuntamiento is a constantly changing environment and an ideal place to learn about the City Hall, the neighborhood and the city of Valencia in general through a group challenge in which you will interact with the whole group. How many badges can you get?
  • Edificio de Correos y Telegrafos - Discover this beautiful building in front of the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
    The explanations and activities take place outside.
  • Central Market of Valencia - Discover its architecture, its history and soak up the atmosphere inside by facing a time trial that will allow you to explore the stalls and familiarize yourself with all the products on offer.
  • La Lonja de la Seda - Admire the beauty that the Golden Age left us and discover the sins and vices that the building’s façade hides.
    The explanations and activities take place outside. However, the flexibility of the activity allows us to stop and visit it inside for an extra price of 2 euros (to be paid at the door). Admission is free on Sundays and holidays.
  • Iglesia de los Santos Juanes - A little bird told me… This phrase will acquire special relevance at this stop, where you will discover old customs (not all of them nice to remember) that will help you visualize and better understand Valencia’s past.
  • Plaza Redonda - Discover this hidden square and the changes it has undergone in recent times.
  • Placa de la Reina - To which queen is the square dedicated? How has the environment changed in recent centuries? Soak up history and admire the Cathedral and the bell tower while you rest for a few minutes on the benches in the square and regain your strength
  • Valencia Cathedral - Discover its Baroque main façade, learn everything there is to know about the bell tower (El Micalet) and be surprised by the immense cultural load of the Gothic side door.

The explanations and activities take place outside. However, if the group is interested in stopping to visit it inside, they can do so for an extra price: 2 euros to climb the bell tower and 5.50 euros to see the cathedral (payable at the door).

  • Plaza de la Virgen - Discover an ancient institution declared a World Heritage Site, learn about the relationship between the Virgin and the Fallas in Valencia, explore the fountain in the square and decipher what it tells us and solve another of the challenges on the route
  • Almoina Archaeological Center - Admire the remains of Roman Valencia and learn about its founding and the first “Valencianos” to occupy the place. This stop extends more or less depending on the time of the participants in the activity and can be eliminated or passed in a minute without stopping too much (my routes are flexible and adapt to the preferences of the group and their times).
  • Torres de Serranos - Learn about the walls and the changing function of the towers. Here we’ll tally up the badges the group has earned along the route with the games and challenges and… SURPRISE - I can’t unravel the whole mystery, but you’ll have to put the shame aside to complete the experience along big ;)
  • Pont dels Serrans - We will say goodbye in front of the Serrano Towers, on the other side, next to the river, where we can take a beautiful group photo with one of the most emblematic views of the city and learn a little about the Turia River and its importance for Valencia.

A great tour guide from a local! - We love taking food tours in every city. It's a great way to walk around parts of the city you normally wouldn't see and taste some of their local flavors. Alba was really knowledgeable about Barcelona and it's history. She will customize it as well if you want a longer or shorter time. We highly recommend her!

Great experience! - The Tour was really fun! I noticed a lot of things in Valencia which I never saw before. Even for people who already know Valencia it is worth it. We also played some mini games which were also fun!
