Our tour starts on Pont dels Serrans in Turia Gardens. You’ll hear some of the early history of Valencia while you walk.

The history of Valencia is a story about the relationship between a city and its river. Its first Roman settlement was built on an island in the Turia River in 138 BC. The settlement grew, influenced by the river until 1957 when, after a catastrophic flood, it was decided that the torrent should be diverted. On this walking tour, you’ll wade through 2,000 years of history that developed alongside the river.

I’ll then guide you from Torres de Serranos, an old city gate, through the maze of churches, cathedrals, and basilicas in the heart of Ciutat Vella (the old town) to emerge through Torres De Quart, Valencia’s other remaining gate.

The tour guides you through Plaza de la Virgen, where you’ll hear some of the square’s history.

Visit the city’s most impressive and beautiful Catholic places of worship, including the Royal Basilica, Valencia Cathedral, and Church of San Nicolás de Bari and San Pedro Mártir

You’ll pass through Plaça de Dècim Juni Brut and hear about its history while you walk.

I’ll show you the city’s most breathtaking attractions including Valencia Cathedral’s impressive 800-year-old Door of the Almoina.

See Valencia’s first public hospital, Sant Joan de l’Hospital, which relied mostly on miracles rather than medicine for healing

I’ll show you the city’s most breathtaking attractions including the Palace of the Marquis de Dos Aguas, and Europe’s narrowest house, La Casa mas Estrecha.
