Tour guide in Valencia Benito G.

Welcome! My name is Benito. I am Spanish; born in Tarragona, a city of great cultural interest founded in Roman times, and I grew up in Valencia, where I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Art History. In 2014, I moved to Finland, where I lived for eight years. During my stay in the Nordic country, I had time to obtain my bus driver's license, Finnish nationality, and the title of official guide, allowing me to develop my work both in Helsinki and Valencia. I have always been passionate about art, architecture, geography, and history, as well as the curious events of life. For that reason, I chose to work as a guide, since it is a job that brings together all my passions. I have been working as a tour guide since 2020, first in Helsinki and now in Valencia since 2022. I would be happy to show you this beautiful city. If you have any special requests, the tour can be adapted to your expectations. As I already mentioned, Valencia is the place where I grew up. Its extensive gastronomy, charming streets in the city center, the amalgamation of cultures that have shaped it since its foundation in 138 B.C., its beaches, and its more than 300 sunny days make the terraces fill with people enjoying drinks or food, giving the city a bustling and dynamic character that makes it a perfect place to spend the holidays. The guided tours I provide are safe, I continuously encourage interactions so that travellers feel comfortable asking any questions that may arise. Our paths would be either on foot or by bicycle whenever possible, minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, all our routes will be complemented with curiosities, anecdotes, and additional information about all the remarkable things we encounter along the way. I assure you that you will leave with a greater understanding of the city, the country, the culture, and its people. Are you ready to discover Valencia?
