About this trip
A school trip to Valencia is a four-day programme on the Mediterranean coast for secondary school groups, organised in Spain by Viajes CumLaude. We have run school tours from our Barcelona office since 1996, and your group works with a named trip manager here and a 24-hour duty phone for the whole stay.
Science opens the trip. The Oceanogràfic covers marine habitats and the conservation work behind them, the Hemisfèric runs an immersive screening, and the Turia Gardens — the old riverbed, now a green corridor through the city — take the group back towards the centre on foot.
The other three days alternate. The historic city is the Cathedral and the Miguelete, the modernist Colón Market and a horchatería for horchata and fartons. The Albufera day starts with a paella workshop and ends with a boat across the lagoon at El Palmar. The Bioparc closes the programme with habitats built to be read rather than just looked at.

What schools usually ask before booking
How much does a school trip to Valencia cost?
The budget depends on the number of students, dates, transport, accommodation and included activities. We prepare a clear proposal tailored to the group.
What documents do students need?
It depends on the destination and each student's nationality. Before the trip we review passports, permissions and specific requirements with the school.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Yes. The itineraries are a starting point: we adapt visits, pace, accommodation and activities to the group's educational goals and budget.
How many days do you need for a school trip to Valencia?
Our Valencia programme runs over four days: the City of Arts and Sciences with the Turia Gardens, the historic centre and a horchatería, the Albufera with a paella workshop and a boat ride, and the Bioparc. We adapt the length to the group's dates.
Is Valencia a good destination for a school group?
It suits groups that want more than monuments: the Oceanogràfic and the Hemisfèric are a science day, the Albufera is a field day with rice fields and a lagoon, and the Bioparc is built around habitats. The Turia Gardens run through the middle of the city as a safe green corridor between them.
