If you’re looking for a different way to see Valencia beyond the usual walking tour, the City Quest with Virtual Guide might just be your ticket to a memorable adventure. Designed for small groups, this experience combines technology and exploration, allowing you to navigate the city’s streets while solving riddles and completing challenges. It’s an engaging choice whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends and family.
What we really like about this tour is its affordable price point—just $16 per group up to five people—and the flexibility to start anytime during your trip. Plus, the virtual guide adds a modern twist, making it feel like you’re part of an interactive game, not just a sightseeing walk. On the flip side, you’ll need a charged smartphone with internet access, and that might be a bit of a hassle if your device isn’t reliable. This experience suits those who appreciate a playful approach to sightseeing and are comfortable with using their phones to navigate.
If you’re someone who enjoys solving puzzles and uncovering “secret” parts of a city, this quest could be right up your alley. It’s especially good for groups who want a more personalized and fun way to learn about Valencia, but it’s also quite suitable for casual explorers who prefer a less structured tour.

Exploring Valencia Through a Different Lens

Valencia is a city bursting with sights, sounds, and stories. While many travelers stick to the main attractions like the Cathedral or the City of Arts and Sciences, this virtual city quest offers a fresh way to experience the city’s less obvious corners. The experience is designed to be both educational and fun, perfect for those who want to engage actively rather than passively sightseeing.
The core idea is simple: you get a virtual guide—a digital companion that not only guides you but also keeps the game on track, sends you riddles, and provides hints. The game covers the old city, including historical sites, hidden secrets, and interesting facts. It’s a kind of treasure hunt that transforms your wanderings into an interactive challenge.
One of the biggest advantages is the cost-effectiveness. For just $16, your group gets access to an adventure that could easily be a highlight of your trip, especially if you’re traveling with friends or family. Considering the price, you’re getting a personalized experience that combines walking, problem-solving, and discovery, all in one.
