Not to be missed in Valencia - Beautiful and amazing place. Fantastic architecture of Calatrava. Place that inspires and brings good times. I recommend organizing picnic during the visit to sit on the pass and enjoy the place.

Not to be missed in Valencia - We learned about the architect who engineered and designed all but one of the buildings. It was very interesting to learn about the history of The City of Arts Sciences and see beautiful space.

Wow!! Fantastic architecture - No real need to go inside anything. Just enjoy the architecture. Brilliant place to walk around. We did go inside the Science building though.

Wonderful - Wonderful. Enrique is knowledgeable, well spoken in English and Spanish, considerate of our need for a cane. The tour is a very long walk and, in time, longer than 2 hours for us slow walkers. Enrique found places to sit in the shade and elevators when possible. This is multiple architectural sites and unique to the world.

Beautiful walk - Nice for a walk. Looks very cool and interesting. You can relax out there in the sun by the water. There's a little cafe inside.

Relaxing afternoon with something for everyone - The place is enjoyable to walk around and enjoy the beautiful architecture and general scenery. We had limited time so we opted to buy tickets for the dome 360 film experience which was very impressive in terms of the visual effects and immersive 3d audio visuals. However, it was a bit boring (the Nasa one) and with the air conditioning and the comfy reclining seats I think I might have snoozed for a few minutes :)

I visited The City of Arts and Sciences as a solo traveler - I visited The City of Arts and Sciences as a solo traveler, and it was fantastic! The modern architecture is stunning, and the whole area feels like something from the future. The science museum was my favorite—it had cool exhibits about space, technology, and nature. The aquarium was also impressive, with a huge variety of sea life. Walking around the outdoor spaces was peaceful, with beautiful views of the water and buildings. I spent about 4 hours there, but you could easily stay longer. Overall, it’s a must-visit in Valencia perfect for solo travelers or anyone who loves science, art, and nature. Don't forget your camera.

A really disappointing tour - This was a disappointing tour. The tour information advised that we had an English guide but we also had an Italian couple so the guide spent half the time talking to us and the other half talking to the Italian couple during which time we were just standing around
