Our take
This is less a monument tour and more a conversation with someone who lives in Valencia, and it works very well on day one to get your bearings and leave with a list of places to eat. If you want the history of the Silk Exchange or the Cathedral told in depth, a classic guided tour suits you better.

- Travellers who prefer chatting with a local over memorised facts.

- Anyone wanting a visit with entry to the major monuments.
- Anyone after a cheap group tour.
