Question 1

How long do walking tours in Valencia usually last?

Accepted Answer

Most Valencia walking tours run between 2 and 3 hours. Combined routes that pair the Old Town with El Cabanyal or the Turia gardens can extend to 3.5 hours. Exact duration is listed on each tour's booking page.

Question 2

Are walking tours in Valencia free?

Accepted Answer

We offer both tip-based free tours and fixed-price themed tours. Free tours have no upfront cost — you tip your guide at the end based on the experience. Themed tours such as paella heritage walks or modernist architecture routes have a set price.

Question 3

What languages are walking tours offered in?

Accepted Answer

Tours run regularly in English and Spanish, with French, Italian, and German available on selected dates. Valencian is the heritage language and your guide can share its history during the tour. The booking page lists confirmed languages for each departure.

Question 4

Where can I try real Valencian paella?

Accepted Answer

Paella valenciana is traditionally cooked with rabbit, chicken, and local beans — not seafood, despite the stereotype. Our guides will point you to neighbourhood spots near the Old Town, in Ruzafa, and out by Albufera where the rice is cooked the traditional way over wood fire. We don't endorse specific restaurants on the page because the right spot depends on day and timing — ask your guide.

Question 5

Does the City of Arts and Sciences feature on tours?

Accepted Answer

Our Old Town tours focus on the historic core and the Turia gardens, with the City of Arts and Sciences visible as you cross the southern end of the gardens. Dedicated architecture routes can include a longer stop at the Calatrava complex on request. Interior visits to the Oceanogràfic or Hemisfèric require separate tickets.

Question 6

What are the best tours to do in Valencia?

Accepted Answer

For first-time visitors, the best experiences in Valencia usually combine the historic old town — the Cathedral, the Miguelete tower, the Lonja de la Seda and the Central Market — with the seaside character of El Cabanyal and the striking modern architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences. Artista Tours offers options focused on history, local life and food.

Question 7

Is Valencia good for private tours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Valencia's mix of medieval old town, riverside gardens, beaches and modern landmarks makes it well suited to a private tour, with a flexible pace and a route tailored to your interests, whether history, architecture or food.
