Your Itinerary

Estacio del Nord

This is our meeting point and first landmark we will visit. It´s one of the most beautiful train stations in Spain built in modernist architecture.

Iglesia de San Agustin

We´ll head to the first restaurant (close by the station) where I´ll tell you about the origin and meaning of tapas. I´ll share recipes and cooking tips. There´s a big surprise awaiting you regarding a rooted local sport. We´ll taste 2 "tapas" (snacks) and a local drink, that can be a soft drink, beer or glass of wine

Plaza del Ayuntamiento

On our way to the second restaurant, we´ll stop at the spectacular Town Hall Square, where I´ll talk about some aspects of the rich history of Valencia (19th-20th century period).

La Lonja de la Seda

Our next stop will be at the iconic Silk Exchange Market, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. I´ll talk about the splendour of the city during the 14th-17th centuries and its importance in Europe.

Central Market of Valencia

The Central Market is a gem, one of the best examples of Modernism in Valencia, and a wonder for the senses. I´ll share some recommendations for tasting "paella valenciana" and other local delicacies.

Iglesia de los Santos Juanes

Santos Juanes Church is the second most important Baroque church after Saint Nicholas Church, known as the Valencian Sixtine Chapel. Both are linked and I will tell visitors about it

Torres de Quart

We´ll taste 1 or 2 more tapas (depending on the number of participants) and one drink (soft drink, beer or wine) in one of the most legendary bars located in the heart of the Arab quarter, Barrio del Carmen.

Lucía was a really engaging guide who took us to really off the beaten path places, especially Trinquet Pelayo. We tasted delicious Valencian tapas I´ve never heard of like "titaina", drank local wine and learnt some of the history. The perfect combination!!! I truly recommend this tour

What a wonderful time we had with Lucia! She took us to some beautifully decorated restaurants where we could try a selection of delicious dishes. She was able to explain the history of those dishes and shared the recipes. I highly recommend this tour where you will learn about food and a bit about the history of the amazing city of Valencia

Lucia is very knowledgeable of Valencia. We had a well planned itinerary. The tour was actually a summary of Valencian history, delicious tapas and drinks in various venues. My wife and I recommend Lucia 100%.

What a fabulous way to explore the old town area of Valencia and enjoy a couple of tapas restaurants you probably wouldn’t have found yourself. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly with a genuine passion for Valencia. A tour I would greatly recommend

My wife and I had a very pleasant evening tasting Valencian cuisine. Lucia was a polite and knowledgeable guide who gave us further recommendations for our stay in this amazing city. We were surprised and delighted with local white wine, too. I surely recommend this tour.

I highly recommend Lucia´s tapas tour because it´s the perfect mix of a bit of history and architecture and some delicious food. Lucia took me to two restaurants, the first one had a traditional ball game court and the "titaina" we tried was awesome. The second one had some live flamenco music and I loved the "aubergines with honey". Lucia has a very charming character and amazing life stories. A fantastic evening.

We loved this tour with Lucia because it combines a bit of the extraordinary history of this beautiful city with some local food and drink. At the lovely restaurant we went to, we tasted "ensaladilla rusa" and "tabla de embutidos" that were delicious. I surely recommend this tour.

marienguixc

I really enjoyed the tapas tour with Lucia. She showed me some places in Valencia which I would never have seen if it weren't for her. The tapas were excellent. The "Titaina" and the "smoked sardine" were my favourite and I would not have tried them if it were not for her because I did not know that they even existed. I had a really good time so I recommed it and will do this tour again when I come back to Valencia
