Every visitor to Spain wants to try tapas and, while Valencia is more famous for its fantastic paella, there’s also plenty of tapas on the menu at most bars in the city. In fact, the choice can be a little overwhelming. If you fancy joining a tapas tour of Valencia to find out what’s what and where to eat it, there are plenty to choose from. Here’s our pick of the best in town.

Evening Tapas Tour

This small group tour is especially good, as it offers the chance to try some lesser-known local Valencian tapas specialties that you might not think to order otherwise, like esgaraet (a salted cod and roasted pepper salad) and the unique sobrasada sausage. Try it early on during your trip, and you’ll know exactly where to go for dinner every night after that.

This well-known tour agency offers a tapas tour with the friendly and knowledgeable Gabriel, who will steer you past the tourist traps and take you where the locals go. The tour is consistently highly rated on Tripadvisor and has a deservedly good reputation. Each tapa may be small but they are plentiful and add up to a full meal – by the end of this two and a half hour tour you definitely won’t be hungry.
