Here’s an overview of your tour

On this tour you'll get to know Valencia's underworld! I can't wait to take you or your group of friends back in time. Together we will stroll through the historic center that is known for its mysteries and legends.

We'll check out historic Roman remains, where Saints where martyred. We'll stroll past the house of Valencia's last executioner and lets not forget to check out the public squares where all manner of crimes were committed and also punished. I'll tell you all about the city's most unusual stories that have been passed on from parent to child, from one generation to another.

Even though some of the places that hold the best legends no longer exist, I'll still show you the best locations. You'll hear all about the macabre stories that span the history of Valencia from its founding in 138 BC, right up to the modern day.

The best part of this tour is that it can be fully customized to your wishes! Just get in touch and I'll shape a tour just for you.

I look forward to meeting you!
