About this experience

This excursion involves visiting the Caves of San José, where you will walk one kilometre through the cave formations before taking a flat-bottomed boat ride into the cave. The total duration of the tour is 4 hours and 45 minutes, including a panoramic drive through Valencia highlighting sites such as the City of Arts & Sciences and the Turia Gardens. The tour accommodates travelers seeking a guided experience with local insights. However, it may not suit those who require all communication in English, as the boat trip is conducted by local boatmen and could be entirely in Spanish. Your guide will provide commentary in your chosen language before and after the boat trip.
