Buenos días a todos! I am Gerardo. Born in sunny Puglia, Italy, I have loved traveling and foreign languages as soon as I got out of the cradle. I lived in the U. S. A. as an exchange student and then in Japan for three years, working as a teacher. After a master's degree in Languages and Civilizations at the Univerisity of Venice, I tried my luck in the publishing and media industry but I soon realized office life was not for me. Eventually, I studied in order to get a Tour Director official licence and from then on I have been working as a Tour Manager all over Europe, particularly in Spain and Italy. Then Valencia captured my heart and after all this traveling I decided this was going to be my new home, so I studied hard to get my Local Guide license and finally succeeded. Since 2016 I am a certified Local Guide of the region of Valencia, a place I will make sure you will fall in love with. Having lived abroad and being a foreigner myself I know what makes your eyes sparkle and how to make you feel comfortable out of you comfort zone. Besides traveling, my other passions are history and anthropology. During my tours I always try to put a particular emphasis on this subjects but don't worry, this is not a boring lecture, you are going to get immersed in an entertaining and engaging way so that you will end up asking for more! Even your kids will love it. At the end, history is the greatest fun ever if you know how to tell it. Valencia is a city full of heritage that is still under the radar. We will discover the Roman life, the Moorish legacy and then we will go through the Middle Ages and the Modern era. Of course, we will also soak ourselves in the sci-fi, futuristic, ultra-contemporary architecture for which Valencia is known all over the world. Whether you are a history buff or just want to relax while enjoying a beautiful city with your family I'll be here for you with a "hand knitted" tailored tour that will best suit your needs: you tell me what you like, the time you have and we will design the tour together.

This tour is aimed at people who want to see some of the most important highlights and hidden gems of Valencia's historical centre on a slow pace. We will stroll in the hidden corners of the City visiting two beautiful cloisters and the oldest church of Valencia. This area is actually one of my favourite spots of the city where instead of cars you see kids playing ball in front of a XIIIth Century Church! We will also take our time to immerse ourselves in the city life as we stop for a Horchata tasting in one of the oldest Horchaterias of the city. Of course we won't miss the Silk Exchange and other important highlights.
Gerardo was a brilliant guide - very personable, enthusiastic and knowledgable. He tailored the tour to our requirements on the day and gave us some good advice on how to spend the rest of our stay in Valencia. I will always book tours by locals when I go on a city break - their guides are the best.
This was a fantastic tour! Gerardo was warm and friendly. He was able to accommodate our group that ranged from age 27-70. He was very knowledgeable about the city and very passionate about his work
We had a fantastic experience with Gerardo in Valencia! He showed us all kinds of interesting places, shared fascinating stories about the city’s history, and gave us helpful local tips for our stay. Gerardo was also very patient while I took lots of photos. Highly recommended—thanks again, Gerardo!
Gerardo was spectacular. He was very knowledgeable and totally prepared to help us “experience” Valencia. And, Gerardo is fluent in English which definitely made the trip not only more enjoyable, but also more informative. We have used Tours by Locals for a number of excursions and the guides have all been uniformly excellent. Gerardo would rank among the best we have had.
We had an absolutely wonderful time and a great conversation. Cannot recommend it enough!!! Do it!!!
Gerardo provided my wife and me with an incredible introduction to and appreciation of the delights of Valencia, Spain. My wife had a mobility issue and Gerardo was gracious and accommodating, making our tour thoroughly enjoyable.
