Our take
It's all of Valencia in a day with nothing to organise: the old-town monuments with tickets sorted, a proper paella at lunchtime, the obligatory horchata and, to finish, the City of Arts and Sciences. With a guide just for you. It's a new activity with no reviews yet, and it isn't cheap: from about €207 per person for two, lunch included; about €153 each for four.

In the old town you skip the queues at the Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the church of San Nicolás, known as «Valencia's Sistine Chapel». You stroll through the bustling Central Market and see the Gothic Serranos Towers and the Baroque facade of the Marqués de Dos Aguas palace.
At lunchtime, a Valencian paella with wine, water and bread. In the afternoon, a horchata with a traditional pastry and, to finish, the City of Arts and Sciences (from outside; tickets aren't included).
