I’m Luke, welcome to my page! Originally from London, now living with my family in the wonderful city of Valencia. I grew up in a colourful family that worked in the film industry. I have been a successful international DJ and have also been a music producer, a remixer of pop bands, created music for Disney movies, fashion shows and releasing house and techno tracks on various labels. I’m also mad keen on facts and cycling (which helps if you are married to a Dutch lady). All this has led me to offering fun and interesting bike rides around the fantastic city of Valencia!
I have so many stories and great tips for local events, restaurants, clubs to share with you about Valencia (that you won’t find in the mainstream tourist guides online) you’ll leave knowing it like the back of your hand and will be totally in love with this incredibly vibrant city!
Rides are limited to a maximum of 10 people, for a more personal experience (minimum 4 people for the morning tour / afternoon only private). The price starts at 35 €/person and includes my bike ride, a personalised map with all the tips and recommendations, a follow up message, to let you know whats-on while you are staying in VLC, a completely recyclable eco bottle of water for the rides, face masks and sun cream (if needed), bike hire and a drink plus snacks at the end of the ride at the beach before heading back into the city centre. You can also rent the bike for the whole day for a few Euros more and stay at the beach for lunch!
Fancy going further? I offer a fun 6 hour ride to Albufera which includes a boat trip & Paella lunch and also an awesome Tapas & Bike evening ride going to some of the best tapas bars in town.

TAKE A DAY TRIP TO ALBUFERA
Close to Valencia is the beautiful area of Albufera, one of the largest nature reserves in Spain. It is a nice cycle ride or short car journey from the city centre. Considered one of the most important wetlands of Spain, it’s great for bird watching, hiking through pine forests or taking boat trips over the large lakes! Not to mention the ancient rice-fields, where the Paella rice is grown! Why not combine it with lunch in near-by El Saler and try some awesome authentic Paella!
If you fancy a bike tour to Albufera, I offer a fun 6-hour ride. Starting close to the historic centre, taking in the main sites before cycling through the Turia river park, around the City of Arts and Science, passing by the Oceanogràfic and then along the beach to El Saler and into the beautiful woodlands and nature reserves, before reaching the lake of Albufera for a boat trip! After a relaxing cruise around the lake we head back to El Saler for lunch at one of the favourite Paella restaurants in this region of Valencia! Finally, with our bellies full, we make our way back into town and finish off with drinks near Plaza de la Virgen!
The price is 85 €/person which includes my bike ride, 2 course Paella lunch with drinks, boat trip, a personalised map, cold water for the ride, suncream, bike hire and a drink at the end. Rides are limited to maximum of 10 people, for a more personal experience (minimum 6 people).
Time – 10:00 till 16:00

Here what my last corporate tour said about me!
We, a group of 10 people, only had 2 days to explore Valencia. We became aware of Luke on TripAdvisor. By appointment, there was an excellent line to Luke right away. He found a cheapest bike rental shop in the immediate vicinity of our hotel. What came then has far exceeded our expectations!
Luke showed us Valencia with passion, wit and incredible knowledge. There was never the feeling to have booked a tourist guide. Rather, it was as if your best friend is showing you his city.
Fantastic! Absolutely recommended! – IKEA - Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG
