Guiding since 2025

We are four historians and archaeologists united by a common passion: to tell the story of Valencia in a unique way. We don't want your visit to be just a stroll among monuments, but a journey through time, an experience that makes you feel the city as we have discovered it in every excavation, in every ancient document, and in every street that has seen centuries of history. Our tours don't follow predefined scripts or tourist clichés; we take you to explore the nuances, curiosities, and little secrets that turn every corner into a living testimony to the past. If you're looking for more than just a visit, if you want to understand the essence of Valencia through those who have dedicated their lives to studying it, join us. We want you, at the end of the tour, to feel that you've not only visited the city, but that you've lived it.
