Hi there! Nice to meet you

Showing Valencia to people visiting this awesome city is just marvellous. I really enjoy sharing a bit of my lovely city full of history, fascinating architecture and exciting bars where you can enjoy delicious tapas. I have a degree in History and Art History so I am passionate about architecture, sculpture and painting of all periods, characteristics that Valencia offers everywhere. Would you like me to share this with you?

Very enjoyable tour given by Maria, a knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. Maria’s passion for Valencia’s history is very apparent. For us booking a private tour was a really good option as we had people with mixed abilities and a large tour would not have been a good experience. Highlights and hidden gems

Maria leads an incredible tapas tour and even sprinkles in a history lesson if you are interested. This is a great way to start a trip to Vakencia and Maria is so nice and extremely knowledgeable. Must do!

Our tour with Maria was the perfect experience. She was lovely to talk to, had a lot of knowledge about history, politics and food and really made us feel welcome. Maria made the booking process as easy as possible and was always happy to share some tips, even weeks in advance. She even remembered that one of us git this tour as a birthdaypresend and organised a cake and singing to surprise us. Thank you so much Maria and all the best! An absolut pleasure!

We were a family group of 11 visiting Valencia for the first time (grandparents and grandkids included) and Maria did an exceptional job at providing historical context whilst keeping everyone interested with fun activities for the kids and teens. She came well prepared for the tour with games and pictures and was flexible enough throughout to allow for additional breaks and minor tour changes as necessary given the size of the Group. Would highly recommend anyone thinking of visiting Valencia to book a tour with Maria!Great Valencia tour with Maria!

Wij vonden de tour van Maria er interessant, want ze wist heel veel te vertellen over de stad en de geschiedenis. Ze heeft ons meegenomen naar 4 verschillende plekjes waar we een drankje en wat tapas hebben mogen proeven. Ze houdt rekening met dieetwensen waar nodig. Maria was een hele fijne gids, hierdoor hebben wij een hele leuk avond gehad en zullen we hier fijn op terug kijken. Intressante avond met lekker tapas

This was the perfect way to start my visit to Valencia! Maria was such a lovely, knowledgeable guide. She clearly knows and loves the city well, and I really enjoyed hearing some of the history and the different kinds of architecture. Not to mention, all of the spots Maria chose for food were fabulous! Great variety of local places and stands at the central market. Cannot recommend this tour with Maria highly enough! Do it!! Maria is wonderful!

We booked Maria for a private tour. Although our time together was short, Maria made every minute count, guiding us through Valecia’s rich history and architecture with infectious passion. It wasn’t just informative—it was joyful. There’s a twinkle in her eyes when she’s guiding that tells you this is more than a job for her - it’s her passion. If you're looking for someone who goes beyond the brochure, who’ll make your trip feel personal, magical, and full of heart—book Maria. A perfect day
