What you'll see and do
Real Monasterio De Santa Maria Del Puig
After pickup in Valencia we make our way to the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria del Puig, *journey time 25mins. Our guided tour of the Monastery starts 1000hrs. Background: founded by King Jaime I "The Conquerer" in 1240 it´s historical relevance is due to the definitive confrontation of Valencia, the Battle of El Puig 1237. A church was completed by 1240 & affiliated with the Mercedarian Knights order. Soon the church was insufficient for the flood of pilgrims & in 1300 the present stunning Gothic church erected. In 1588 the imposing Monastery was built & we visit the cloisters; Salón Real still used by monarchs on visits to Valencia; Salón Gótico of King Jaume I with replica his sword & Salón of Ceramics. Highlights include Frescos of Camarin de la Virgin, the 6thC Byzantine image of Santa Maria carved in stone set in a stunning painted retablo, admirable collection of paintings from Vergara & Espinosa among others and ancient ornaments.

The order of our route varies. (*Journey time El Puig to Sagunto 20 mins.) This is a walking tour with inclined road to the theatre & castle. I consider it easy/moderate difficulty & is gradual ascent- if one has walking problems/health issues this may be difficult but similiar to my other tours to Xàtiva & Peñiscola Castles in walking involved, visit my website!

El Puig & Segunto
Fun side trip experiencing the countryside of Valencia. The colorfully entertaining Martin, a sommelier and wine maker, took us to the monastery at El Puig, which was very enjoyable, to an artesan winery for intimate tasting along with local cheese. After visiting the roman amphitheater and Seguntum ruins, we enjoyed a wonderful multiple course lunch and five wine pairing on the terrace of Le fou restaurant.
Response from the operator: Many thanks for your great review.....I do my best to make it special for all clients !

Lots of history, food, and wine!
We loved the sites, food, and truly fantastic wine!!! When talking about history, wine, and food, our guide was very knowledgeable, professional, and intriguing. But there were a few times he branched off into non-relevant modern day politics and it took away from the experience
Response from the operator: Many thanks for your review & criticism. Walking a thin line for total customer satisfaction is a challenging experience....however tours are professional, serious & courteous and only focus on tour material .
via Viator
Educational and fun experience!
The Sagunto tour had three parts: first, a tour of an old monastery nearby; second, a tour of the Roman ruins at Sagunto, and finally, a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant. Each part was a great experience, with a very knowledgeable and personable guide. I would recommend this to anyone, but bring good walking shoes!

Castle in the Sky
Toni was a very good guide for us. The monastery portion was interesting and special. We then traveled to the Castle and really appreciated that Toni took us on an adventure up to the Castle, as it is a long trail through town. He is very knowledgeable, and the wine tasting was very good. I will say that this trip is not for the faint of heart, but it is well worth the climb, and the view from the top is special.

Great tour
Was a wonderful tour. Toni was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Would highly recommend. And suggest good walking shoes and water, as there is some hiking involved.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Roman Wine of Valencia/ Castle-Amphitheatre + El Puig Monastery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valencia.
How much does Roman Wine of Valencia/ Castle-Amphitheatre + El Puig Monastery cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Valencia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Roman Wine of Valencia/ Castle-Amphitheatre + El Puig Monastery take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Valencia is not rushed.
Is Roman Wine of Valencia/ Castle-Amphitheatre + El Puig Monastery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Valencia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Roman Wine of Valencia/ Castle-Amphitheatre + El Puig Monastery?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Roman Wine of Valencia/ Castle-Amphitheatre + El Puig Monastery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Roman Wine of Valencia/ Castle-Amphitheatre + El Puig Monastery?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Valencia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Valencia and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Roman Wine of Valencia/ Castle-Amphitheatre + El Puig Monastery start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Valencia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Valencia?
+
On Outty we rank every Valencia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Valencia Bike Tour from the City to the Beach, plus Bike Guy App!, Paella Cooking Class, Wine Tasting & Central Market in Valencia, Real Paella Cooking Class – Market Visit & Sangría Workshop. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Valencia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Valencia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
