Overview of your Valencia tour:

An ancient Roman city, torn apart by the Roman empire and threatened by Christian martyrs. Later conquered by Moors and Islam before being reconquered by a Christian King. At one time besieged by Napoleon's troops. And key to the story of this fine city is the Spanish Civil War, including the swing from Monarchy, to Republic, to Dictatorship. During the Spanish Civil War people travelled from all over the world to defend democracy, including Ernest Hemingway and George Orwell. Valencia has notable architecture from the Gothic and Art Nouveau periods. It also has many fascinating stories, all of which you can hear about with me, your guide Danny — a passionate fan of the city. Valencia is famous for its great weather, relaxed vibes, and great food. It's also the home of the authentic Valencian paella; and great Valencian orange juice — if you like alcohol you can try it in our local cocktail "Agua de Valencia"!
