Itinerary
In a 3-hour-long walking food tour you will dive into a world of culinary experiences! You will try only the best tapas in some selected bars and eateries of Valencia old town, also known as Ciutat Vella. Sipping a glass of wine or beer you will be able to feel this unique lifestyle, based on hard work but also moments of pleasure, social life and relax. We will walk through the beautiful streets of the town, passing by the most famous monuments, while our local expert will give an insight into the history and culture. All the food and drinks are included as described, but the tastings can slightly change due to the season and the availability of our partners.
You will start your culinary adventure in Plaça del Comte de Bunyol, a hidden gem surrounded by beautiful architecture that invites both visitors and locals to dive in the atmosphere of the city. Here you will meet your local expert to head to the first stop! Have a taste of esgarraet (from the Valencian esgarradet). It's another typical dish of the Valencian Community. It consists of a special salad made with roasted red bell pepper, salted cod, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. Otherwise, try a delicious pintxo of sardines. The perfect appetizer to start with.
Situated between the Barrio del Carmen and Plaza de la Virgen, Plaça del Tossal is another must-visit while in Valencia. Here you can see the Arabic influences that shaped Spanish history, such as the ruins of a Muslim tower or the city remparts from XII century. In a tapas bar nearby, you will have the chance to try a selection of local tapas, like Clóchinas, the small, thin Valencian sisters of mussels. This is the most beloved shellfish in the Valencian Community. Otherwise, indulge in a slice of potato tortilla or patatas bravas, Spain’s ultimate comfort food.
Valencia’s Central Market is a paradise you can’t miss. It is a must-visit in this city, a gigantic pantry of modernist architecture. Here you’ll taste typical products from the market, like fish, cheese or ham and see how this place contains fresh produce from the garden and the flavors and smells of the Mediterranean inside (lunch only).
Plaza Redonda - literally "Round Square" - is probably one of the smallest, yet most charming squares in Valencia. The square was built in XIX century by Salvador Escrig Melchor and conceived as a circular pen. Nowadays, it's also known as "el clot" (the hole), and here locals go shopping in the several shops or at the small market that takes place every Sunday morning. And it's right near this symbol of the city that you will find your next stop, where you will get the chance to try different types of local pintxos, of course served with a glass of refreshing beer!
You will finish your food journey in one of the most famous squares in town, Plaça de la Reina, with its stunning architecture and its view on the Cathedral. In fact, in a bar right behind the square, you will taste the most typical sweet treat of the city: horchata and fartons. An authentic refreshing drink typical in the Valencian Community where you dip its perfect accompaniment, are an elongated, soft and absorbent sweet (lunch only). In the evening, you can try a refreshing glass of another Valencia classic: Agua de Valencia!

We had a great food and drink tour with Anaïs. She was very knowledgeable and great company to be with. She shared her experiences and took us to several places to eat and our two hour tour ended up being a lot longer with Anaïs and the other couple we were with. She provided other recommendations for places to eat and answered all our questions. We can highly recommend this tour.
We had a fantastic time on this food tour in Valencia with Anaïs. She is very knowledgeable, and the tour was about much more than food. Along the way she shared stories and history about Valencia that gave us a real feel for the city. From the start we felt welcome and well looked after. Anaïs has a warm, easygoing manner, and she made sure everyone in our diverse group felt included. The food was amazing. She took us to places we would never have found on our own, and several of them we'll definitely go back to. She also gave us lots of good recommendations for other places to visit during the rest of our stay. Highly recommended if you want to taste Valencia and get to know the city at the same time.
Anaise was an excellent tour guide! She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the local culture and food. I would highly recommend this tour.
So much fun! We learned a lot of interesting things about Valencia through stories , food and drink. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared her humour and knowledge with us. We loved this experience!
We had a fabulous time with Anais. She is a top notch guide, sharing her knowledge of the culture, the history and the food. Each of our stops was both interesting and delicious. We tried so many delicious foods and enjoyed some great drink suggestions . We loved everything about our tour. Our friends highly recommended it and we are so glad to have taken their recommendation. Anais provided us a very entertaining and enjoyable experience. We would highly recommend exploring Valencia with her.
We had a wonderful food tour with Anaïs. She is an incredibly warm and welcoming person and the tour was excellently prepared and organised. She also made sure to consider all dietary requirements and took us to places where local eat and which we definitely would not have found on our own. She is extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information on history and the food. The food was delicious and we can only recommend going on this tour. We had much fun and enjoyed it a lot. She also made sure to share a list of her favorite places with us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Anais - it felt very personal and authentic. Communication before the tour was excellent so we felt reassured as we waited at the meeting place. Anais took us to traditional and long established eating places, and gave us an insight into the history and culture of the dishes we tried. It was a great introduction to the Valèncian food scene which was just what we were hoping for - thank you!
Anna was amazing. She’s been wonderful.
We had such a wonderful time on our food tour (we chose the 6:30 p.m. tour) and learned so much from Anaïs! She had even shared her bio with us ahead of time, which was a lovely touch and helped us get to know our guide before the tour began. The pace was perfect, and all four tasting stops were fantastic, each offering something special. Toward the end of the tour, she shared recommendations for places to visit and eat. What really stood out was Anaïs’s kindness and thoughtfulness. She went above and beyond at the end of the tour to help us find our Uber pickup spot, which we truly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more enjoyable experience!
Anian was a great guide, full of info and had a great sense of humour. Over 3.5 hours, you make several stops and get the equivalent of a full meal experiencing Spanish traditional food. I described the tour to four friends and they have booked it.
Anais was a wonderful guide, full of knowledge and easy going. She reached out via WhatsApp to introduce herself in advance and to confirm location and start time. The tour was paced well and we tried lots of local specialties that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The tour centred on food, supplemented by history and culture. It was a small group of 7 guests which was also a positive. Highly recommended!
Did this tour today with Anais, and it was excellent. She is a delightful person who readily shared much information about the unique food traditions of Valencia, connecting it to the history of the region. The range and diversity of local vendors was excellent. I've done many food tours in other parts of the world, and this is among the best.
What an incredible experience! My husband Pascal and I had the pleasure of discovering Valencia through this wonderful food tour with Anaïs, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! From the very first moment, Anaïs made us feel as though we were exploring the city with a good friend rather than a tour guide. She is incredibly warm, welcoming, passionate and knowledgeable, and her enthusiasm for Valencia, its culture and its food is absolutely contagious. We loved discovering authentic local places, tasting delicious Valencian specialities and learning about the stories, traditions and people behind them. It was the perfect combination of fantastic food, local culture and wonderful conversations. What made this experience truly special was Anaïs herself. She genuinely cares about her guests and about the small, family-run businesses she introduces them to. Even after the tour, she took the time to send us additional personal recommendations for restaurants and hidden gems around Valencia. That thoughtful gesture really says everything about her! Valencia is already a beautiful city, but experiencing it through the eyes of someone who loves it so much made our visit even more memorable. If you're visiting Valencia, do yourself a favour and book this food tour – and if you're lucky enough to have Anaïs as your guide, you're in for something truly special! Thank you so much, Anaïs, for the wonderful memories, your kindness and your positive energy. We absolutely loved it and would recommend this experience without hesitation! With love from Switzerland, Patricia & Pascal ❤️
We had a wonderful 3.5 hours exploring Valencia with Aiana who introduced us to various local dishes in places that we would not have known to venture in to. There was plenty to eat and drink, interesting facts about Valencia and it was also a pleasure to meet a couple of other tourists to enjoy the afternoon with. Aiana was so welcoming and created a very warm atmosphere for our small group.
Annalise was amazing! Such a fun evening, great food and history of the city. Highly recommend this your

The Valencia food tour was a fantastic experience. Anais was friendly and knowledgeable, and each stop offered delicious local specialties. It was a great way to explore the city’s culture, history, and hidden gems while enjoying amazing food. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Valencia.
Anais was sooo knowledgeable and shared freely! Such fun and great food of the region we would have never tried. Wonderful tour, easy pace and so glad we did it!
Annalise was so knowledgeable about the culture and food scene. She even gave us recommendations for after the tour. Come hungry!
We had an awesome time on our Valencia food tour with Anaïs! She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire experience. We loved trying all the different tapas and Agua de Valencia while learning some history about the city along the way. We had a great group, which made it even more fun! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the meeting location and instructions were clear and easy to follow. We enjoyed exploring Valencia so much that we went back the next day to visit the Mercat de Valencia, which wasn’t part of our tour, and actually ran into Anaïs again while she was leading another tour! Such a fun experience and a great way to get to know the city. Highly recommend!
Just finished a delightful trip with Anaïs. Just the perfect balance of history, local info, detailed between numerous food and drink stops. Shared with good company from around the globe. Highly recomend.
A great experience on 9th October the busiest day of the year for Valencia. Still we had a fantastic time and learnt a great deal about this wonderful city. Anna was great, English was better than mine and a fantastic host. Would highly recommend Graham and Tracey
A fantastic food tour and a great way to discover Valencia’s old town! Aiana was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout. We enjoyed a great variety of tapas, with wine, beer or soft drinks at each stop, and discovering some hidden gems we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. Along the way, we also learnt so much about Valencia’s history and culture, making it much more than just a food tour. Aiana made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommended!
Our guide Veronique was outstanding. We had a very relaxing, not rushed tour. She was extremely knowledgeable on the history and food. We really enjoyed the tour and food. I would highly recommend this tour.
Was a great tour of some delicious food places in Old Town Valencia I would have never found otherwise - our guide Veronique was particularly fabulous and so knowledgeable and personable.
This was a fun way to munch your way around the city. There was plenty to eat and drink with some historical facts added in while we moved from venue to venue
Great start to a mini break Good food and drinks with informative guide. Nice mix of people made for a fun night.
My 2nd ever food tour & I’ve used Do Eat Better for them both… 1st time by chance & 2nd time through the insight of how good the 1st one was. Our host Véronique was absolutely incredible, so happy/smiley, knowledge in abundance & making a group of complete strangers feel comfortable with each other from the offset… I booked this as a food tour, but turned out as so much more & this was down to our hostess. She had this amazing ability of naturally gelling us all together, it was like spending the afternoon with a group of friends whilst enjoying & encountering the same unique experience. We stopped at various venues to try different foods along with a little history & explanation, each of the numerous stops were great & took me to a world of eating foods that I wouldn’t have normally considered. Such great value for money. At the end of the wonderful tour, Véronique felt just like an old mate … a real asset to your company/brand. I whole heartedly recommend Do Eat Better for any culinary delight whichever country you find yourself in…. & no, I’m not on commission or have any affiliation with this company 😃 If you do the one in Valencia, then I hope you get to do it with our guide, who turned out to be an absolute gem. Thank you so much Véronique for putting up with the cheeky chappie & making me feel so relaxed whilst being on a solo trip. Muchas Grathias.
We love doing food tours and this one was no exception! It was a small group and we had such a good fun together. Anaïs was really knowledgable. We didn’t have long in Valencia so it was great to learn more about the city’s history, culture and food. The food was delicious and a good mix, plus the perfect amounts. It’s true what they say about this tour…it’s like going for dinner with friends. Felt sad to say cheerio to everyone at the end of the evening!
Great experience, delicious food, wonderful way to see the city and get a good taste of Valencia! Anaïs, my guide, was such a delight!
We had so much fun on this tour! We tried so many different things that I had more than a meals worth of food and drink and all of it was delicious. Anaïs was so engaging and did a great job of giving us the history behind everything we were trying. I've already recommended one of the places she took us to another friend in the area.
Absolutely solid 10/10 experience. Going to even go so far as to say it was one of the best city tours I’ve been on. We were taken to some of the best local places we would never have found - so many interesting facts about Valencia we found out and the food 🤤 so good! Anais is a sunbeam - such a lovely human being genuinely wanting us to have a wonderful experience. We loved every minute and didn’t want it to end! Thank you Anais for such a wonderful day we’ll never forget x
We had a fantastic tapas tour experience in Valencia! Our guide shared lots of interesting stories about the city and gave us great insights into the local culture. The food was delicious! I highly recommend this particular tour—what a great way to discover so much about Valencia in a short amount of time! :)
Veronique was a fantastic guide! Engaging and knowledgeable about the area, taking time with each member of our small group, getting to know us and offering stories of herself. We are well and learned history about the surrounding area. Very much recommended!
OMG, what a fantastic experience! Anna was the most wonderful guide/host we've ever spent time with. She was very attentive to our needs while keeping us on track to visit these most wonderful places. I could not recommend a guide/tour more enthusiastically than this tour with Anna. If you want to spend a wonderful afternoon exploring and learning about the food and heritage of Valencia, book this tour

Anna is a very good guide. The tour is great, local food and drinks. It is a recommendation
The food was amazing, it would have been a five if our guide was more familiar with history of the area and the wines we were served. Also, feedback, she was lovely and very friendly. We could only hear what she was commenting on as we moved from place to place if we were walking next to her, therefore we missed a lot of what she was sharing as we moved from place to place. Overall a good experience, some of the best muscles we have ever had
Veronique was an excellent guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we enjoyed our time. The food was great and the sights were better. She took us places we never would have gone on our own.
What a wonderful, fun, informative, and above all delicious tour we had! With 10 friends in Valencia and Anaïs as our guide, we enjoyed the Valencian specialties. Anaïs introduced us to the culinary side and the history of Valencia and was also very interested in our group, as if she were part of it rather than just being our guide. Next time we are in Valencia, we would love to take another tour with her!
Our guide Anais, was a golden soul with a glorious combination of knowledge and passion, coupled with a deep desire to make sure we had the best time possible. Sometimes one can feel a bit left out as a vegetarian but not with Anais. Our small group could not have had a happier or more fun time, as we learned about local cuisine and history. We felt blessed.
Anaïs is an amazing tour guide. I loved how she blended history, culture and food into the tour. By the end of the tour, we were all friends. The food stops on the way were all high quality and we also used some of the recommendations made later in our trip. Must do if youre in Valencia
Anaïs was an absolutely wonderful guide. Very friendly and knowledgable, gave us some great recommendations and made our experience so amazing!
A group of us friends went on a culinary walking tour of some special spots. Anaïs, our guide, really became part of our close-knit group of friends; she told us loads about the hotspots we visited and about the local food, drink and customs. It was a lovely time, a brilliant experience, and I’d recommend it to everyone. Thanks, Anaïs!
We really enjoyed this tour. It was definitely more about the food and drink than the city/culture, but there was plenty to eat and it was a really fun evening. We were quite a big group of 12, but everyone was great and we ended up staying to chat at the bar when the tour ended. Our guide Aiana was lovely.
Anais was fantastic. Really knew all the local places, history and culture. She was happy to speak in English, French and Spanish and we really enjoyed her company. Thoroughly recommend this tour. C'était fantastique cette tour. Anais m'a donné l'opportunité de bavarder un peu en français et j'ai vraiment apprécié l'expérience. Bon appétit et merci.
Really great trip with lovely food and drinks and a very knowledgeable tour guide.
Great experience, our tour guide Aiana did an excellent job of keeping us informed about the City, the food and the drink, of which was awesome
Great company, lovely local food! A nice way to spend 3 hours in Valencia. Thank you Anais.
