The 4 Tapas Tours in Valencia That Earn Their Price

1.Valencia Old Town Tour with Wine & Tapas in 11th Century Historic Monument

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,234 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $96Our pick

Walk Valencia’s Old Town with guides such as Martha, Mimi, Dani, or Ellie, seeing La Lonja, the cathedral, plazas, and Central Market. Then enjoy tapas, paella, dessert, and regional wines in a private setting inside an 11th-century monument. Groups are capped at 12.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon with Mimi. The walking tour was great. I really loved the Central Market so I have to go back. The venue for the tapas, cava and wines was beautiful! A little outdoor oasis. We also got toasted almonds, delicious olives, and many types of tapas. The dining room was equally lovely. Here we experienced a soup, potato topped with quail egg and bacon crumbs on a smear of aioli, paella, red wine, lemon granita topped with ice cream, a local liquer and a chocolate truffle. So good! Highly recommend this tour as a way to learn about the city, local specialties, and to pamper yourself.”

4.Tapas and Drinks Evening Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 334 reviews · from $78

Join a small group of up to 10 for a three-hour evening food walk through Valencia. Guides such as Tatiana, Rita, Fatine, Ghitta, and Jack lead you to four local bars for shared tapas, Valencian dishes, wine, beer, vermouth, and mistela.

“The tour with Cris was fantastic. I hooked the evening tour but because there were too few numbers for that one, the company gave me the opportunity to switch to a day tour and I am so glad that I did because we got a tour of the fabulous Russafa Market. The class itself was informative and generous and Cris made sure we were all engaged and any and all needs were met. So grateful to have had the opportunity to learn more about Valencian cuisine (and drink!) and to try the absolutely delicious traditional Valencian paella!!Read more”
