Free Walking Tours In Valencia: Questions And Answers

Reserving ahead is simply how these walks work. A reservation is made on the walk's GuruWalk or freetour.com page, and nothing is charged to book, because free, pay what you want is the price. The meeting point is printed on each walk's own page, so read it before you set out. The Free Tour Valencia Essentials by SPAIN FREE TOURS, for example, meets at Plaça de la Mare de Déu.

Free, pay what you want is the price of every walk here. The tip at the end is the only payment the guide receives, and it is entirely up to you: no amount is suggested, printed or implied anywhere on this site. How much to tip is your own decision, made after the walk ends and not before. Nothing is requested during the walk itself.

Nothing has been paid, so there is nothing to lose. Cancel on the page where you reserved, GuruWalk's own page for the walk or the freetour.com listing, so the guide sees the change. If you cannot attend, cancel on the page where you made your reservation. The walk itself stays free, pay what you want, and cancelling simply frees your spot.

Yes, in the strict sense used here: every walk is free, pay what you want, and no euro figure is attached to any of them. The exceptions are walks that pass through places with their own costs, and the roster states them plainly. The Tapas Route Through Modernist Valencia by Danila stops at tapas bars, so food and drink at those stops is a cost you pay yourself. The tip, on every walk, stays entirely up to you.

The platform sets the scale, and this site prints each rating on its own scale rather than converting anything. GuruWalk walks are rated out of 5: the Old Town walk in English with a local, run by JC, is rated 4.99 out of 5 across 1,589 GuruWalk reviews. The one freetour.com walk, the Free Monumental Tour Of Valencia by Paraguas Rojos, is rated 9.4 out of 10 across 280 freetour.com reviews. The two numbers are never blended into a single figure.

The count is simply how many people have rated that walk on its own platform, GuruWalk or freetour.com. The most reviewed walk here is the one by SuperGurus that meets at Plaça de l'Ajuntament, rated 4.89 out of 5 across 5,060 GuruWalk reviews, in Spanish. At the other end, the night walk by Sonia that meets at Plaça de la Mare de Déu, also in Spanish, carries a single GuruWalk review. A small count means fewer voices, not a lesser walk.

Language is stated walk by walk, because each guide runs their own. Some walks here are English only, such as the Old Town walk in English with a local by JC; some are Spanish only; and several run in more than one language, including Italian on the walk by Antonio that meets at Plaça de l'Ajuntament. Every walk's own page on GuruWalk or freetour.com lists its languages before you reserve. Read that line first if language matters to you.

Meeting points are spread across the centre rather than gathered in one square. Several walks start at Pont de Serrans or the Torres de Serrans, others at Plaça de l'Ajuntament or Plaça de la Mare de Déu, and a few begin further out, at Estació del Nord, the Lonja de la Seda or Mercat Central. The exact spot is set by each guide, so read the walk's own GuruWalk page, or the freetour.com page for the one walk listed there, before reserving your place.

The 36 free walking tours on this site sit in four groups: essential Valencia, night and legends, history and heritage, and neighbourhoods and themes. Each walk page states its meeting point, its duration and its rating on its own scale. GuruWalk walks rate out of 5, while the single freetour.com walk rates out of 10.
