Hola! I'm Maria Antonietta, I'm Italian, and come from the beautiful island of Sardinia, in the center of the Mediterranean, where I completed my University studies in of Cultural Heritage. After spending a few months in Ireland, I decided to return to Sardinia to work as a receptionist in a four-star hotel in a seaside town. Although I liked the job, I felt that it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do. My idea was to become a tour guide to help making the island better known, so I took a course and then the exam to obtain the tour guide license in 2015. My passion is traveling and during one of my trips I visited Valencia which immediately made me feel at home. The city won me over with its architecture, its liveliness, and the kindness of its inhabitants so I thought about moving. I took "the big step" in 2019, I completed a Master's Degree in Cultural Heritage at the University of Valencia and I asked for the recognition of the title of tourist guide to be able to work. And here I am, happy with my choice! During the guided tour, I try to convey my passion for the work I do and for this wonderful city that has so much to offer. It can offer you a pleasant walk through history, from the Roman period, through the fascinating Islamic period, of which numerous traces can still be seen, the Middle Ages up to modern-day Valencia, with its festivals and traditions. Whether you are a lover of history and architecture or simply want to enjoy the city in total relaxation, I am here to guide you. If you prefer a customized experience, contact me and I will create a tailor-made tour for you. I am sure Valencia will conquer you too!

I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Are you thinking of visiting Valencia and want a tour to explore city's historical centre? Then you are in the right place! I will guide you through the emblematic places and monuments of this beautiful city, telling you the history and some nice anecdotes as well. Our tour takes place entirely on foot, allowing you to walk along the most important streets of the heart of the city, visiting the main squares and admiring beautiful Art Nouveau buildings. You'll discover the place where Romans founded Valencia and I'll share the history of a thousand-year-old institution that is still celebrated every week today! Throughout our tour I'll often talk about the long-awaited celebration of Valencians, Las Fallas, during which the city comes to life with fireworks displays and very tall monuments made of wood and papier-mâché every year.
