Welcome to Valencia! I was born and raised between Valencia's vibrant city center and its countryside. After over 20 years of traveling and working in international tourism, I am back home to share my expertise. This region means the world to me. My goal is to take the stress out of your trip, handling the details so you can relax and immerse yourself in our local beauty, culture, and hidden subtleties. Let's squeeze the culture and live it together! My Background: My passion for hospitality began during my tourism university studies, which included extended stays in Greece, Ireland, and Italy. Experiencing the generosity and slower pace of life in these countries inspired me to welcome travelers to my homeland with that same open spirit.In 2012, I became a professional tour leader for a certified B Corp travel company. Over 10 seasons, I led dozens of international tours across Morocco, France, Portugal, Italy, and Spain (including routes like Barcelona to Berlin and Paris to Marrakech). I have guided city walks, cycling, kayaking, and trekking, always diving deep into local gastronomy. Having experienced hundreds of tours worldwide as both a guide and a tourist, I know exactly what works. I have combined the best global practices to create my own unique experiences for clients worldwide. Discover Valencia: Valencia is an eclectic, comfortable Mediterranean city and the proud birthplace of paella, where the sightseeing options are truly endless. Within the city, you can walk among ancient Roman ruins, visit our own "Sistine Chapel," see the Holy Grail, or cycle down the old Turia riverbed toward the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences. Just to the south, you can explore the magnificent Albufera coastal lagoon and its surrounding historic rice fields, while to the north, the Calderona mountains hide fascinating Iberian settlements and charming small towns. Having shown my homeland to thousands of people, my absolute favorite part of tourism remains building these meaningful, firsthand connections between visitors, locals, and nature. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for, let’s talk. I am highly flexible and an expert at tailoring itineraries to match your specific interests, pace, and timeline. Together, we will bring Valencia's history, architecture, and traditions to life. Carpe diem et noctem!
