Your guide will greet you right at the cruise terminal and introduce the day’s itinerary. Clear instructions and local tips are shared to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Then we hop into a private taxi to begin our adventure in Valencia.
We start the morning like a true local with an “esmorzaret” breakfast in a lively neighborhood market. Choose from a variety of delicious fillings for your bocadillo sandwich, made fresh with regional ingredients. To finish, enjoy a warm cup of Cremaet, a signature local coffee with brandy and citrus zest, the perfect kickstart to your day.
We then take a short private taxi ride to the unique and colorful Niñot Museum. Each statue on display was once part of the iconic Fallas Festival, where giant papier-mâché figures are paraded and then burned. Only a few are "saved" each year, and you’ll hear the stories behind these beloved cultural creations while exploring the museum.
From the museum, we enjoy a gentle walk to one of the most iconic modern attractions in Spain - the City of Arts and Sciences. Built in the old Turia riverbed, this architectural complex features futuristic structures surrounded by pools and gardens. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the design and purpose of each building as you explore the area.
Our final stop is a warm and welcoming bodega, where you’ll taste a curated selection of local wines paired with delicious Valencian tapas. Learn about regional wine styles and food traditions from the passionate staff. Enjoy a glass of sherry and local Cava to cap off your experience in true celebratory style.
Before heading back, enjoy a small surprise inspired by Valencia’s love of fireworks and festivities. Then we return by private taxi to the cruise terminal, relaxed, full, and inspired by the city’s vibrant energy.
