Please do, as tourists are finding the Valencia day out option more appealing now than Barcelona being "picket pocketed" spree offers them.

Come out of the front of the station (the bull ring is at your right shoulder).  Directly ahead on the other side of the road is Av del Marques de Sotelo.  Walking along there you pass the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, a large open space with fountains on the right.  Continue on until you are faced with a fork in the road.  Bear right and continue straight on (Calle de San Vicente Martir) to the open area Plaza de la Reina.  This is an attractive area adjacent to Valencia cathedral.  Station to Plaza about 0.75 Km.  There are a lot of cafe's and restaurants where you can sit and wait for the bus.  It's an open topped double decker that parks near the entrance to the Plaza on the left.  The tour is quite extensive and takes you beside and accross the dry canal that is now turned over to public gardens, down to the ultra modern architectural area near the harbour and the GP circuit and then around the old parts of the city.  Don't think there's a guide in English available though.
