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.

Overview of your Valencia tour

If you love eating, exploring & having fun this is the right tour for you! I was always interested in the world of wines and Spanish cuisine and thanks to my mum I learned how to prepare delicious recipes. I absolutely love shopping in the "Mercado central" it's a place where I get inspiration for trying new recipes and buy my fresh products. Besides it's a place where locals meet and gossip. The gourmet foodie tour is my favorite because we will discover Valencia, using all our senses. We will be visiting the Central market where we will be trying delicious products like Spanish ham, local cheese, olive oil with a glass of Cava or fresh juice from Valencian oranges. You will learn about the typical dishes and products. Then we will stroll around the Old Town, visiting all kinds of great food stores and tapas bars in each place we will do tastings. Some historic, some modern and fancy, I will open all doors for you.

Suzie is funny, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She treated us more like friends than clients! If you want to see how the locals eat & live, rather than visit tourist traps, this tour is for you!

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 was never rushed. Suzie made our rainy day tour feel like an afternoon with an old friend. And as a surprise to me, she sent me her own recipe for Agua de Valencia ! A very special guide.

If you are going to Valencia, starting your trip with a tour by Susie is an amazing way to learn about Valencia and increase the amount of the city you get to experience and understand. We really enjoyed our time with her and cannot imagine our vacation without our Valencian experience with Susie.

IF you are looking for history, fun, food and drink; this is your tour! Suzie took us into small shops to taste various drinks and foods and learn the history of each. We then went to the Food Market which is just amazing. There we tasted sausages, cheeses, olives, wines, bread and candy. We walked by some historic sites in Valencia and had a wonderful tour.
