Worth every penny! Lara is a wonderful tour guide, and made everyone in our group feel so welcome. The food was unbelievable, the wine was on point and Sea Saffron covers every detail from the time you arrive. The views, the atmosphere. For anyone traveling solo or in a group, this is a must book.

We really loved our Science, wine and tapas Tour with Sofía, for my sisters hen party. Making us very welcome and started the tasting with some fizz for my sister- such a lovely touch. The food and wine was amazing, and Sofía was a wonderful host. Definitely recommend.

Highly recommended that people visit these venues whilst in Valencia. Just one thing to note, be ready and sure what you want to do and the timings for your choices at these venues as the staff were a little brusque with us whilst we made our mind up.

Overall good experience but in my opinion I wouldn’t recommended science museum. Huge building but exposition not as impressive as we were expecting. Oceanografic was amazing experience.
