What To Expect

Jardi del Turia (Pass By)

Our tour starts on Pont dels Serrans in Turia Gardens. You'll hear some of the early history of Valencia while you walk.

Pont dels Serrans (Pass By)

The history of Valencia is a story about the relationship between a city and its river. Its first Roman settlement was built on an island in the Turia River in 138 BC. The settlement grew, influenced by the river until 1957 when, after a catastrophic flood, it was decided that the torrent should be diverted. On this walking tour, you’ll wade through 2,000 years of history that developed alongside the river.

Torres de Serranos (Pass By)

I’ll then guide you from Torres de Serranos, an old city gate, through the maze of churches, cathedrals, and basilicas in the heart of Ciutat Vella (the old town) to emerge through Torres De Quart, Valencia’s other remaining gate.
