The Cathedral of Valencia is really something to look at. Stunning city this is. We’re trying to find an affordable option besides the classic tour guides available, and we were lucky with this one.

It was super cool! I went to Valencia for a day and it was my best choice. :)

No wonder the city of Valencia is a World Heritage. Stunning architecture.

Good app with a nice and quick (1.5hrs) tour, interesting photo tasks :)
