Tuathla, our guide was AMAZING! She was engaging and very knowledgeable. The tour was a wonderful mix of the Arts & Sciences and València’s major monuments. The tapas and wine were a fantastic end to our tour. Valencia is now our favorite city!
Perfect Day

Boglarka did an excellent job. I loved all 3 parts - the old town, the city of arts & sciences & the rooftop tapas and wine
Very nice experience
Kirk_K, Dec 2023
We had a tour of the older Gothic area of the city, and then moved on to the newer science focused part of the city. Then rooftop tapas. The tour guide Martha was one of the highlights of the trip. She was proud of her city and that showed during the tour. The other highlight was the young chef who made the tapas. Both of these employees are absolute gems.
10/10 recommend!!

This was an incredible introduction to the stunning city of Valencia, perfect for cruise ship passengers. our guide contacted us the night before and the morning of the tour to make sure we were okay and arrived on time. Emma was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and a great tour guide! she gave us great insight into living in Valencia and the history of the city. The tour started with an easy walk through the old town, markets and city squares before heading to the city of arts and sciences. we finished with a 8 course Tapas tasting on a roof top terrace with amazing views of the city, the port and the mountains in the distance, accompanied with a great selection of wines, the tapas is to die for! amazing food, wine and great company 10/10 recommend.
Best tour we have been on.

From the moment we met Emma at the cruise terminal until the end of the tour the experience was fantastic. We walked around the old town of Valencia and Emma’s knowledge was amazing. The pace of the tour was good and we did not feel rushed at all. We then got a taxi to the newer part and that tour was also amazing. Then we had our tapas and wine on a rooftop of a building in Valencia. Not in a bar but totally private with just our group! The wine and food was excellent. We had plenty of time to enjoy the wine and food which was lovely. Highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic Tour
Rebecca_S, Oct 2023
The lovely Emma our guide made this tour a breeze and one to remember!!! Absolutely appreciated how knowledgeable and passionate she is about Valencia. The Tapas and wine were fantastic. Well presented and simply delicious. Enjoyed every bit of it. Would highly recommend this tour.
Fun and Delicious!!
Brenda_M, Sep 2023
Dani greeted us on time and we felt as if we were seeing his city as his friends, not his customers. Dani was considerate and so very helpful. The tapas and wine were delicious and, even there, Dani taught us more about his country and culture. The views of the city were spectacular. This was the very best use of our cruise ship stop in Valencia!
Best experience of our trip
Shelli_K, May 2023
This excursion was the best of our whole trip. Bogi did an excellent job at giving us the history, and when we went for the tapas and wine tasting we were amazed. Thank you for an awesome time.
FABULOUS TOUR
Mary_G, May 2023
Absolutely WONDERFUL tour. Daniel could not have been more accommodating. The tour of the city was amazing, but the star of the show was the tapas. We were on the 33rd floor terrace, private balcony with panoramic views all around. We had at least 11 different tapas, with 5 kinds of wine….ALL fabulous!!! I’d love to do this tour again with Daniel!! He was so knowledgeable and fun. GREAT tour guide.
Just Go! An unforgettable Tour.
DAVID_R, May 2023
Wow,Wow, Wow. What a great Tour. Daniel was our guide and was so much fun. Extremely knowledgeable about Valencia, his home town. The wine was great, the Tapas was unbelievable and so tasty. The view were amazing and breathtaking! Just go and enjoy!
Great Tour
Robert_W, May 2023
Dani was great. Interesting guide. Roof top tapas and wine was an excellent experience. One area of improvement would be to made tour description clear that taxis were to be used for transportation. Also should have gotten a larger taxi to fix our entire party of 6 rather than splitting us up into two taxis. With tour guide in one of the taxis, it was very tight. Dani did fix that on the subsequent taxi rides.
Great experience
James_R, May 2023
Our guide was fantastic Terrific food and wine and a great time in the city Got to see everything. Love it
Interesting walking tour, incredible Tapas, a great day
John_H, Apr 2023
We had a wonderful day with Sharin. Our group was just two couples. Sharin was informative and interactive throughout. We had a great walking tour through the historic area of Valencia and also the beautiful City of Arts and Sciences. Transportation from our ship and during the tour was high quality. The Tapas and wine at the end were over the top! Served in a private room overlooking the city. Food and wine were outstanding and seemingly never ending, maybe 9 different Tapas. After the tour we really didn’t need dinner! We chose this tour instead of tours available from our ship. It was an excellent value and high quality. Sharin is the best!
Best Ever Tour
Cheryl_M, Dec 2022
We have been on many tours around the world and this was, by far, the best! Our guide was fabulous. The city tour was very well thought out and the tapas and wine part was wonderful beyond all expectations!
Highly recommend tapas and wine
Vicki_S, Nov 2022
Our guide Sonja, was amazing and worked with us even when we missed our bus. She arranged to meet up with us so we could join the tour. The tapas with wine was the best part and she was every accommodating and knowlegeable.
A good day in a city of contrasts.
RenaBlatt, Nov 2022
Sharin was a fantastic guide. She was so full of enthusiasm for what she was showing us. She had to be very flexible as we started out with more people than car space (were two excursions merged?). None of us were expecting the number of tapas that we were offered or the quantity and quality of wine. She also was able to tell us about each wine which enhanced the experience. The venue was interesting with a patio that was bordered with a wall from the 11th century and modern settings. I would definitely recommend Highlights of Valencia with Sharin.
Beautiful Valencia with a Fabulous Guide
Nancy_N, Nov 2022
This was an absolutely fabulous tour. Valencia is a beautiful city & we were so impressed with both the old & the new town showcased in this walking tour. Then to top it off, the tapas & wine experience was phenomenal. Sharin was a fabulous guide & hostess. The food was delicious & plentiful, as was the wine. Would highly recommend this tour — probably the best of all tours taken this trip.
Best excursion
Lisa_W, Nov 2022
Fantastic excursion. Kate and Bogie (sp?) we’re just fantastic. We were met at cruise terminal and taxied to the the Science and Art Center for informative tour and magnificent buildings. We had 15 people and split up into two groups for a very personal tour. Then taxi again to Old Town for up close tour of the city and the sights. Then we were taken to their private venue for an amazing tapas and wine tasting. The venue was quite, intimate and the tour group really got to know each other. I think we had 11 different tasty tapas as well as Cava, white and red wines. All Spanish and remarkable. The food was abundant and the wine flowed. This is probably one of the best excursions we have ever done and we done a couple hundred or more. Don’t pass this opportunity up.
Tapas & Wine Overlooking the City 🏙 of Valencia
Charles_L, Oct 2022
Sharin was a wonderful guide. She was enthusiastic and informative. We are older adults and she provided a nice comfortable pace of walk through old & new town Valencia. The real highlight was the tapas & wine tasting on the 33rd floor overlooking the city. We only had a party of 7 adults. We felt like we were visiting friends instead of being on an excursion with strangers! There was plenty of superb tapas and an ample amount of wine to sample. Both excellent quality. Thank You 😊
Spectacular Valencia!
Raymond_B, Oct 2022
What a fantastic tour! The mix of old and new Valencia is astounding! We’re so pleased we took this tour as we feel we would have missed half the locations on our own - let alone the history behind it all! We didn’t know any of the persons with us when we started, but by the end of the tapas and wine, it was like we were at a great celebratory family meal! We were supposed to end and have tapas at an 11th century monument, but found ourselves ending at a rooftop location with spectacular views instead - and quite honestly found it to be a fantastic addition to our experience
