Ride from Valencia’s old town to Malvarrosa Beach with Luke, stopping for landmarks, local tips, horchata advice, snacks, and a drink.

See Valencia's old town, beach, harbor, and City of Arts and Sciences on a lively two-hour tuk-tuk tour with local guides.
“Laura our guide was great, such a thorough history of the city and a clear and easy way to understand it. Took us to all the major sites and a great way to see the city in a short amount of time and with NZ children who aren’t used to walking in 38 degree heat this was the perfect little adventure ! Highly recommend. Thankyou”

“Excellent tour. We had arrived in Valencia the day before and decided to take this tour to give us an idea of what to see in the city, get the layout of where various places were and not tire ourselves out by walking for miles. Our instructor Nilles was wonderful, very knowledgeable and accommodating. The bikes were easy & comfortable to ride. Pace of tour was easy, with plenty of stops.”
Taste five artisanal Spanish wines with sommelier Tristan Van Doorn, paired with tapas, in Valencia’s L’Eixample district.
“As a wine lover, looked forward to this experience only to be disappointed. The event was way overbooked with about 35 people on this tiny terrace. The actual occupancy should’ve been max 10-15 people. Everyone was sardined in and couldn’t move nor hear the explanation. Speaking of sardines, the “high-end petit fours” were sardine paste on white bread and a whipped gorgonzola thingie with fig, along with plain white bread. All of which were served late in the tasting and were of questionable taste level. All in all, the wine selection was fine, the host provided some information although it was hard to hear with all the people there and…”

Review of Valencia’s private Segway tour, covering the Turia Gardens, Torres de Serrans, and City of Arts and Sciences.
“Santiago was the best guide! My family of 5 had a private tour. None of us had ever been on a Segway and it was very easy. We saw the old city as well as the arts and sciences. He made stops along the way and pointed out some interesting facts about the city. He also took photos for us and even a video of us all riding. It was by far the most fun experience and tour we had in our 10 days in Spain. 10/10 highly recommend and thanks again, Santiago!”

“I had a wonderful tour with Marcos. The information was well structured and linked together beautifully, so I gained a deeper understanding of the beautifil city and its surroundings. I am a tour guides nightmare as I always have lots of questions, but Marcos was ever patient and I really appreciated the extra information. My inner geek was very happy! In addition, I use a mobility scooter to help me get around and this was never a problem - Marcos took care to make sure the route was easy for me to negotiate, but I never felt that this was a difficulty for him. There were many highlights to the…”
