¡Hola! My name is Manuel, I was born in Valencia and let me tell you something about myself... I'm archaeologist and Official Guide of the Region of Valencia, and the most important thing: completely in love with this beaufitul city of Valencia. Since I was a child, History and Art have fascinated me, so I studied a universitary degree in History and aslo another in Art History at the University of València, and I completed my studies with a master's degree in Cultural Heritage at the same university. When I finished them, I decided to see the world and live abroad. I ended up living in Vancouver (Canada) for one year. The experience was unbeliable and then, I started a new adventure, another year abroad, but this time in Kyoto (Japan). Both experiences let me improve my social skills, besides becoming, involuntarily, in an ambassador of my city, Valencia. Then I realized that I enjoyed spreading the wonders of my hometown and showing the city to me friends when came to Valencia to visit me. Meanwhile, I finished my master's degree in Archaeology, after finishing my studies, I worked as an archaeologist for three years in Valencia and surrounding areas. All this allowed me to obtain broader knowledge about the history of the city. But even so, it always caught my attention to also be a tour guide, so I took the exam to become a tour guide and it is something I do NOT regret. Nowadays I really enjoy showing my city to the rest of the world and my enthusiasm gets the better of me in every tour. I've been a tour guide for over 3 years now, living abroud in such different countries helped me understand all types of international travelers and their desires. My main concern is that my clients feel in Valencia like as if they were in their own hometown, offering them quality tours taking advantage of the knowledge acquired in the archaeological excavations carried out in Valencia and as well in the academic field and of course my own experience as a Valencian so you can fully enjoy this wonderful city, its people, our gastronomy and our Mediterranean attitude. In additions, I don’t only want to give you a walking tour around Valencia, also give you tips and advice and the necessary support so your stay in Valencia became something unforgetable Don’t hesitage and I’ll be glad to help you and show you this wonderful city, and there is no problem at all if one of my tours don't fit what you are looking for, let's talk and let's make the best tour for you! Join me and let’s discover all the secrets and corners of Valencia together!! I hope to see you soon!!
