2.Valencia Old Town Tour with Wine & Tapas in 11th Century Historic Monument

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,234 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $96

Walk Valencia’s Old Town with guides such as Martha, Mimi, and Dani, then enjoy tapas, paella, dessert, and regional wine in a historic Barrio del Carmen setting. The group is capped at 12, and the market visit depends on the time and day.

“This tour is two separate things: one, a guided tour (no food or drink) then two, tapas and wine in a single hidden-away venue. Completely unrelated. The tour guide was excellent. The food and wine were pretty good. Overall I had an excellent evening. I rally was hoping for one of those tours with a walk around the area, discussing both the places of interest AND stopping regularly for food/drink, but this is not that. It was still excellent.”
