This is a Pandemic-Buster activity that is outdoors with plenty of fresh air and limits interaction with other tourists you don't know.
This all inclusive tour takes you by bus through Valencia's city centre and on to visit one of the region's gems, the Albufera Nature Reserve. You'll be treated to a small boat trip on the lake and can include an optional, authentic local lunch.
Begin your day with a scenic tour from the Plaza de la Reina, past City Hall, the Alameda and the City of the Arts and Science. Audio-guides are included in your chosen language.
Moving on to Palmar and the Albufera, some 12 miles (20km) south of Valencia, you get to enjoy a relaxing 30-45 minute boat trip on the largest freshwater lake in Spain.
If you'd like more flexible times and a private boat trip with guide, take a look at our Albufera Boat Trips and Tours.
At Albufera lake you have a 45 minute boat ride included, allowing you to enjoy the beauty and diversity of the area from the water. Not only are the surrounding wetlands famous for their rice cultivation, they are also a haven for migratory birds and offer an array of bird watching opportunities.
After the boat trip you can head back to the city centre on the same bus or include a delicious, traditional lunch at a nearby restaurant and take the bus back afterwards (lunch available on tours that depart from the city centre before 1:30pm).
