Bienvenido a Valencia! Hi, I am Suzie - Once up on a time I felt in love with… Valencia. During one of my travels I felt in LOVE with Valencia, it felt like a strong magnet it made me decide to come and live in Valencia and explore every little corner of it. Now I'm a CERTIFIED tour guide in Valencia. I am half Dutch and half Spanish, I lived in Holland growing up. During my Hotelmanagment studies I did my internship in the USA and after my studies I traveled in Latin America for 6 months. I am a traveler myself and love communicating with people from different countries. This is also why I understand travelers. I know what it is to be in a foreign country where you might not speak the language nor know much about the customs. And I know sometimes you want to see as much as possible, but sometimes you can be tired, sometimes you want to learn as much as possible about a place and sometimes you just need to get the feel of it. And when I travel I also don't want to feel like a tourist but rather like a traveler and I want to INTERACT with the LOCALS and get in touch with their world. One of the things I love the most of being a guide is to see people's smile and hear the "WOW" they say when see or understand something new in Valencia. I have a lot of PASSION for FOOD, WINE, SHOPPING & LATIN DANCES. I have a big list of good restaurants of all kind in Valencia and I will be happy to give recommendations. I keep myself very up to date about what's going on in the city, markets, concerts, wine tastings, celebrations, Flamenco shows etc. I'd love to share my tips and share interesting insights of the Valencian live with my guests. I like to use the word GUESTS instead of clients, because I want you to feel like a guest in the city going with a LOCAL instead of feeling like a tourist… Why should you come on a private tour with me? Let me tell you! I have built up a great deal of KNOWLEDGE about this vibrant city which I am proud to call my home. I am an independent and CERTIFIED tour guide and a member of the Valencian Guide's Association. I'll show you things that you won't see on the tour bus. My tours are PERSONAL I love to guide combining a MIXTURE of entertainment, making history come alive, interesting facts about the present society as well as fun anecdotes about everyday life. The tour can be TAILORED to suit your particular interests. I will suggest an itinerary to match your interests and timeframe. I try to adapt my tour to the interests of my guests and make it personal that's why I get recommendations. I am specialized in tours for small groups, couples and families. My guests say I'm very knowledgeable and professional, but also FUN and welcoming Feel WELCOME to contact me! Saludos, Suzie I am an official tourguide of the region Valencia (Valencia,Alicante, Castellon) nr 594 I have a bachelor degree in Hotel managent Member of Professional Tourist Guides Association GUIAS OFICIALES COMUNITAT VALENCIANA & TURISMO VALENCIA I am not a driver.

Thank you for spending the morning with me, it was my pleasure to show you the city I love so much. La proxima vez practicamos mas el Español ;)
Suzie was an excellent guide and showed us much of València we had never seen before. She was knowledgeable, charming, conversational and so passionate about her city. She proved once again we we so enjoy booking through Tours By Locals.

Despite the rainy day, we had an amazing tour with Suzie. She has a genuine love of Valencia and what makes it unique. Suzie had arranged a tasting of various Iberian hams and cheeses in the Central Market where vendors greeted her with warm smiles. She is special. Suzie took us to a neighborhood tapas bar and ordered varied samples for us to enjoy together. Our day...

Thank you! I am glad I got to show you how lovely Valencia is, and the Valencian people. Even on a rainy day... Next time you visit I would love to have a good Agua de Valencia on a sunny terrace with you.
