ADMISSION INCLUDED FOR TWO MUSEUMS/MONUMENTS. Your private guide will take you around the UNESCO-protected Lonja de la Seda, or our Silk Exchange, which was Valencia's center of commerce during the 15th century. The building itself is a testament to Valencia's history, decorated with ornate engravings and gargoyles that tell their own stories. If you choose to include entrance into La Lonja, your guide will take you through the orangerie, the grand hall, and the ornately decorated rooms.

ADMISSION INCLUDED FOR TWO MUSEUMS/MONUMENTS. Your guide will walk with you beside the reflecting pond that acts as a roof for our modern archeological museum, home to the Roman ruins that made up the city of Valencia. If you choose to include entrance into the Almoina, your guide will take you back in time to the Roman era and the very early origins of our city. As the museum is underground, this is a great option for a hot day.
