Old Town Valencia with Tapas and Piella lunch
Leisurely walked through the old town area of Valencia. Restaurants, largest open area market in Europe, Roman and Moorish architecture. Lunch was served in a building originally built in the 1100's by the Moors. One original wall remains in this very comfortable covered patio and dining room. Lunch was tapas, cheeses, nuts, olives, wine and paella. Dessert with Moscatel sweet wine. Very good tour and a lovely region of Spain.

The real Valencia
Very personal and informative. Tualtha was very knowledgable and passionate about her city, the food and the local wines.

Great tour even in the rain!
This is an excellent tour. It isn’t a walking food tour. The food is in the middle of the tour at a very special place. There is lots of food and wine. It combines old and new Valencia. Our guide was Martha and she is delightful. Very knowledgeable and very passionate about Valencia.

Fantastic tour! Worth every penny
Bogie gave us a leisurely taste of old Valencia (just six of us). Beautiful weather in December. Bogie was very knowledgable on the history of Valencia and very patient with all our questions. A sophisticated presentation of tapas and five Valencia wines was delightful. We felt very pampered. Bogie then took just two of us to the incredible City of Arts and Science area, before putting us in a cab to take us back to our ship. We look forward to future tours with Seagram, through Viator.
Response from the operator: Dear Guy, it was a pleasure to have you on our Valencia Old Town Tour with Bogie and that the sun was shining for you! We hope that you enjoyed the sights and went back to your ship full of new facts on Valencia. Safe travels and we can’t wait to welcome you back at Sea Saffron!

Excellent City Tour, Tapas and Wine with our tour guide Bogi
My husband and I had an amazing experience City Tour with tapas today with our guide Bogi. The relaxed pace of the City Tour was much appreciated with enough time to see the sights and ask questions. Our next adventure was tasting outstanding València wine, cava and tapas. Last but not least was a mini traditional paella that was so, so so gooood! Bogi explained the food and wine pairings. We were too full to walk back to our hotel. Luckily, the tour included a hotel drop off otherwise we would end up taking our siesta on some quiet square or plaza. Overall a fantastic tour with our guide Bogi, beautiful day and ultra delicious València tapas and wine.
Response from the operator: Dear David, hearing that you enjoyed our Old Town Tour with Wine and Tapas really means a lot to us. Bogi is a wonderful tour guide who puts a lot of effort into teaching you all about the history of the city. We are glad you got safely dropped off at your hotel to avoid any siestas in the plaza and we hope to see you again at another Sea Saffron experience🥘🍾

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shore Excursion: City Tour with Tapas in 11th Century Monument: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valencia.
How much does Shore Excursion: City Tour with Tapas in 11th Century Monument cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 Shore Excursion: City Tour with Tapas in 11th Century Monument 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 Shore Excursion: City Tour with Tapas in 11th Century Monument worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 116 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Valencia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shore Excursion: City Tour with Tapas in 11th Century Monument?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Shore Excursion: City Tour with Tapas in 11th Century Monument 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 Shore Excursion: City Tour with Tapas in 11th Century Monument?
+
Around 41 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 Shore Excursion: City Tour with Tapas in 11th Century Monument 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.
