Few destinations in the world can boast three different cultural attractions on the prestigious UNESCO list. This cultural walk covers Valencia's most essential, must-see sites, with a professional guide sharing the city's many stories.

We will enter the Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange), a masterpiece of Gothic civil architecture that was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996. The fabulous Trading Hall with its columns, vaults and ribs will transport us back to Valencia's prosperous Golden Age.

We joined the tour on Thursday and this was a perfect start to our hols. Gabor was our guide and despite not being a Spanish managed to convey all the information. Love his delivery. This is a walking tour so expect to walk for miles but great introduction. Definitely recommend this tour

Neil E

Excellent trip lasting 2 hours. Sara was excellent with lovely Spanish pronunciations of what we were looking at but excellent English descriptions. Plenty of time along the way for pictures and questions. Would highly recommend.

A reasonable introduction to the old town of Valencia but nothing more. It all seemed a little rushed and whilst the guide was knowledgeable he did speak very fast.

Great trip. Five star and very knowledgable. Highly recommended. A good education about the history of Valencia and the silk industry

Superb two hour tour. Sara our guide was clearly very passionate about Valencia. Visited City Hall and the Silk Exchange but stopped at various other points and learnt so much about the history of Valencia. Sara not only talked to us about the history but also used her iPad to demonstrate the evolution of the city which was much more engaging and informative. Well worth the money and a must do if you have a spare couple of hours.
