Hello! My name is Pablo, I am a historian and professor. I am in love with Valencia, its culture, traditions and history. Therefore, I love sharing my knowledge and my passion with other people. And, by the way, I never stop visiting new places or studying new topics. I take advantage of my free time to dance, sing in the choir, watch football or simply walk around my beloved city, Valencia.

Amazing tour and amazing guide . Through the history of the river and the city of arts and science we learned so much about history in Valencia. We had walked to the river twice before but Pablo pointed out and explained so many things we hadn’t noticed and gave us lots of useful information for our stay! Our favourite tour in Valencia!

If you enjoy the architectural aspects of the Arts and Sciences complex you will enjoy this tour. Does not cover any of the other historical aspects of Valencia. Pablo knew a good deal about the architect.
