Hi there! My name is Andoni. I am an official tour guide and professor of Geography and History. I have been guiding travelers from all over the world since 2013. I have worked in different cities in Europe, such as Madrid, Dublin, Lisbon, and now Valencia. In all these years, I have guided more than 50,000 people! For me, guiding is more than a job: it is my passion! Something that you will discover from minute one of the tour.
