Hola! I was born in Valencia and lived here until I completed my Bachelor's in Art. I have spent half of my adult life in between Valencia and Northern Europe, in UK and Finland. I discovered my passion for guiding while I was living in Helsinki, and carried out guiding in my home town too. I have to confess that the love to my city has dragged me back here, to the South. The Mediterranean way of life, the light, the people and the city of Valencia are worth to be enjoyed every minute, and I would like to share this wonderful city with you! I am a researcher, photographer and teacher for seniors. I'm in absolute love with Art, Design and Architecture, and I also enjoy hearing all the stories that every city has to offer, and see and understand how time shapes residents and neighbourhoods. Most of my free days are spent by reading or exploring around. I've been in the Tourism business for over 14 years now, and living in different countries makes me understand international travellers, your needs and interests. I am used to be with all kinds of travellers, from politicians, artists or tv journalists to teenagers or families. I like to keep my tours as ecological as possible, green tourism and low foot print is my goal. So small/walking groups are my favourite and what I hope to provide. Lets get together and discover Valencia! 2013- Studies in Tourism - Helmi Business School - Helsinki, Finland 1999-2001 Photography and media at Brighton and Hove Art College, UK 1999 - Bachelor in Arts - Faculty of Fine Arts - Valencia, Spain No restrictions.

Overview of your Valencia tour

This tour is a great choice if you have a busy day planned but still want to acquire a deep knowledge of the old town's gems and enjoy a light and easy guided experience. It is recommended especially if you want to have some free time in city centre or explore a market there afterwards. We will walk across the oldest area in town and stop in the most iconic and picturesque spots. History can be understood easily as we walk from the Roman Empire era to the 20th Century in no time! Valencia's old quarters are very compact. We will stroll for a couple of hours along flat ground in a small area with very restricted traffic, where there are so many beautiful buildings and history to go through! One of them, The Silk exchange, is a UNESCO Heritage since 1996 and one of Valencia's Gothic jewels. The Valencian centre has been one of my favourite areas to be around since I was small, so I'm genuinely excited to show you around it.

Amparo! What can I say but to quote Shakespeare who said it better; “O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful, wonderful and yet again wonderful.” I’ve been lucky to have gone on a couple dozen tours with guides over the decades and with Tours by Locals, a dozen or so times. Amparo ranks among the top of the top. Articulate, friendly, prompt, intelligent, funny - just the perfect amount of information. A great pace for a three hour adventure in Valencia. Her depth of knowledge from the Romans to Franco to Fallas is so very impressive. Definitely recommend her.

Ampara gave us a fantastic tour filled with lots of history along with her personal experiences growing up in Valencia.

Amparo was a delightful guide, adding great background information on what we were seeing. She also commented on city life and noted traditions that we would never have understood, ourselves. We had a wonderful “express” tour of Valencia with her.

Amparo was amazing with her knowledge of her city and was a delightful tour guide. We customised a private tour and she produced exactly what we asked for and more. I can highly recommend her for any tour.

I like to start with saying this specific tour of the old town in Valencia was a great choice to do privately. One on one felt good. I got to know little more about my tour guide Amparo Espana. She was very knowledgeable and chatty. I enjoyed my time and our chats. Thanks again for your professionalism and for showing me the gems of the old town.
