Valencia Iconic Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
A cathedral claiming the Holy Grail, defiant towers and a thousand years of arguments about water — Valencia's icons play along.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Valencia on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Enter the orbit of La Catedral de Valencia and its Holy Grail chapel
• Storm the Torres de Serranos, the city's mighty medieval gate
• Read the Roman layers beneath the Plaza de la Almoina
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Spanish, English, French, and German.
The old Turia riverbed can wait — the old town comes first.

What To Expect
Starting at Plaza de la Almoina, beside the ornate Casa Punto de Gancho, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and begin where Valencia itself began. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.
La Catedral de Valencia rises next door, guarding what many believe is the true Holy Grail. Riddles weigh the evidence, chapel by chapel.
The Torres de Serranos follow — the massive 14th-century gate that survived the walls' demolition to become the city's triumphal front door. Trivia mans the battlements.
Back at the Plaza de la Almoina, glass floors reveal Roman baths and streets beneath your feet, with clues buried in every layer.
Around two hours through the Ciutat Vella, horchata breaks permitted. The leaderboard crowns the winner beneath the Miguelete.
