The tour is a great way to experience the natural beauty of the area adjacent to Valencia, and learn something about the history and lifestyle associated with Albufera. It’s a nice walk on a boardwalk into the wetlands, a lovely ride through them on a local-style boat and a look at a traditional fishing cottage. A great trip for birders too, especially during migration season. Our guide, Benito, was fun and very informative, speaking in Spanish and English throughout.

If you are traveling with a friend, or a romantic partner, this excursion is a special opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty of València and in each other. Particularly the evening boat trip.

Nice experience to see a beautiful wetland and to see the Albufera at sunset was truly a magical experience. A great night tour!

Lovely experience, our guide Ferran was amazing and funny. The sunset was amazing and the boat ride was peaceful. We also learnt a lot during the trip.

The boat ride was nice and the sunset was relaxing! However, I wouldn’t rate this is a top to do activity. The tour guide was very nice, but the tour was a bit unorganized and we didn’t know what was happening when/what was next. If we were in Valencia for a few weeks I’d recommend this, but if you only have a few days I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Ferran was a great guide, he’s very knowledgable and passionate about Valencia, especially paella! Everything went smooth, great organisation and the sunset boat ride was very special.
