Know More about this tour


The famous Plaza de la Virgen encompasses several historical periods that our guide will reveal with passion and enthusiasm, given that today it is one of the most loved squares by Valencians.
It is the "Kilometre 0" of the ancient Roman city. Here you can see one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe.
The Metropolitan CathedralBasilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia, alternatively known as Saint Mary's Cathedral or Valencia Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic parish church in Valencia.
A perfect spot to contemplate the baroque facade of the Cathedral, as well as the famous Miguelete, a 14th century bell tower that serves as a lookout over the city.
The church of Santa Catalina, one of the 10 founding parishes of the city, offers incredible views from the top of its tower, which is considered a jewel of the Baroque period.
It is striking to see such spectacular and expressive gargoyles on 15th century Wall Street, as if they continue to send an ancient message, and yet so fashionable... I guess, despite the passage of time, people are still the same.The now-visitable monument offers an unparalleled version of 15th century life.
The central market is located in an ancient trading area, as it is on the same spot where the Arab souk of ancient Balansiya once stood.Today, the almost 8000m2 of commercial space is one of the largest covered markets in Europe.
The second tower that remained standing after the wall was demolished in 1865. It was used as a prison while the wall was being demolished, which is why it is still standing. Today you can still see the cannon marks left by the various wars in its wake.
Gothic in style, it is considered to be the main entrance to the city. This was the main entrance for kings and ambassadors.

    As soon as I got to Valencia, I was recommended the Private tour of the Old City, and I can see why! Starting in Placa de la Virgen, it covers the whole historic centre of Valencia, including historic places like Placa de la Reina, Towers of Serrano, Silk exchange, Mercado Central, Placa Redonada and the Cathedral, all explained perfectly by the tour guide whose name is David. He never bores you with useless dates and he is also able to joke occasionally to make the tour more entertaining than it already is, and occasionally distributes bottles of water during the tour. The bikes are very high quality, no one got a punctured wheel and no one had problems with the gears or the breaks. 10/10 recommended.

    Fedor was an enthousiastic guide who adapted his tour to our needs. He knows the city very well and knows a lot about the architecture off the buildings. Highly recommended to book a tour with him!

    ‘s Ochtends hebben we de 2 uur durende tour gedaan, daarna hebben we de fietsen nog tot 19:30 gehuurd. De tour, door David, beviel ons erg goed. Hij heeft veel kennis van de rijke geschiedenis van Valencia en vertelt dit op een vermakelijke manier. De fietsen waren van goede kwaliteit en zien er ook nog leuk uit. We kregen zelfs allemaal een flesje water met het warme weer. De prijs-kwaliteit verhouding was goed, we hebben ons echt vermaakt en Valencia werd door de tour nog interessanter! Geschikt en leuk voor jong en oud.

    David Gomez was an excellent tour guide. A native Valencian, David shared a thorough history of the city and of the strong character and influence of the city’s residents over 2000 years as the city grew and evolved. David shared stories that made the history very interesting and accessible (no saturation of boring dates and facts). The city bike tour was so enjoyable that we went with David a 2nd day on a bike tour to the Albufera. It was an exceptional experience and again David shared the important history of the fight to preserve this beautiful natural wonderland. David was very considerate of the pace, safety and comfort of both rides. Bikes were reliable, well-maintained and sturdy for 2-days of riding. David gets much credit for helping us get to know the beautiful city of Valencia and it environs in the short 2-1/2 days that we were there. Don’t wait to join one of Pelican’s bike tours and ask for David! Many thanks to David and the Pelican team.

    We took the 2-hour option to do the Old City Tour, and like 5 minutes later we were done…it was that good thanks our humorous and very knowledgeable guide, David, who in turn was ably abetted by Patricia, his very pleasant trainee. The tour covered everything we hoped to see, with unexpected nuggets along the way. The bikes were well maintained and perfect for the task, which isn’t always the case on other city tours. Would happily recommend this bike tour company to anyone wanting to get up close and personal with Valencia’s rich history.
