★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 175 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $32

Ride through Valencia’s historic center and along the Turia Gardens to the City of Arts and Sciences, stopping for photos and short explanations at major sights. The route is mostly flat, and you can choose a regular bike or e-bike. Guides include Daria, Jorge, Liliana and Martin, though the guide for your departure may vary.

“A great activity for a solo traveller. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable but took this to the extreme causing our tour to be an hour longer than advertised. This made it great value for money but quite overwhelming. The amount of fast paced talking did not make the trip relaxing especially as the final stop was so over time we were told to come back at another time to take photos. The promised water stop didn't even happen. There was a lot of getting on and off the bikes which were heavy and difficult to get started. Not sure why we had to carry a hefty lock and chain around…”
