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 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?

Maria is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We learned a lot about the artists and specific images we had been walking by all week. There is so much graffiti and paintings in Valencia. Choosing what to view and discuss is a challenge. We became more observant after the tour. We would like to know more about the relationships between those who paint images and those who paint script and initials only. Also, we also want to know more about those who choose own walls to paint and those who are paid by property owners to paint on their gates and walls. Great context for art we see

I just had a little time gap, so this 90 minute tour was perfect. Maria showed me the most important historical sights, gave an overview about the City today and was really charming. I would do anytime again with her.Grwat Tour with Maria

We had a great experience with Maria. She is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate and gave us a broad exposure to the wonderful food and drink of Valencia. At the same time, Maria provided insightful historical and cultural references that made the tour even richer.Varied and informative

With only two days in Valencia we wanted a family friendly tour to show us some of the key and hidden sights of the area. Maria was wonderful with the kids and showed us alot of sights in the city that we wouldn't have otherwise stumbled across. We learned about some of Valencia's traditions, explored a historic bakery, and learned about the street art amongst other interesting topics. She was great with our girls as well who where 5 and 7. Thanks Maria! Wonderful introduction to Valencia!

We did two tours with Maria: a general guide around the centre of Valencia taking in (amongst others): Central Market; Silk Exchange; the palace housing the ceramics museum as well as a number of churches. The second, foodie tour focussed mainly around the narrow streets of the northern central part of the city (Barrio del Carmen) taking in on the way the Cathedral and Basilica, Parroquia de San Nicolas and Torres de Serranos. We thoroughly enjoyed Maria’s description of the buildings as well as some of the city’s history. We had three food stops taking in, amongst others, a small former pharmacy turned into a barInsightful tour, lovely lady
