I’m a Valencian-certified tour guide deeply in love with my city, its culture, and its history. From a young age, I’ve been involved with cultural associations that preserve and celebrate our heritage. At the same time, as a polyglot, I’ve always been fascinated by building bridges between languages and cultures.
Academically, I hold degrees in Culture and Communication (with a focus on Anthropology) and in Linguistics, as well as formal tour guide training. This foundation, combined with over 7 years of hands-on experience in tourism, allows me to craft experiences that are not only informative but also meaningful and authentic.
Whether you’re drawn to Roman ruins, enchanted by local legends, or eager to uncover hidden gems in the old town, I’d love to guide you through the stories and spirit that make Valencia truly unique!

Tour description
This isn’t just a tour, it’s a walk through Valencia’s soul, led by a certified guide who grew up in these streets! We start at the ancient Serrans Towers (Torres de Serrans), the old city gate, and make our way on foot through the beating heart of the historic center.
Along the way, you’ll feel how centuries of art, history, and culture echo through every square and narrow alley. Roman traces, Moorish shadows, Gothic stone, and modern street art, layered like graffiti on time itself. You’ll hear stories of silk traders, saints, and pyrotechnic madness, smell oranges and roasted coffee, find photogenic hidden gems, and all this while seeing all the city's most important buildings!
In this tour, not only will you fall in love with Valencia, but you'll see it with the eyes (and attitude) of a local. Bring comfy shoes, an open mind, and prepare to fall for this place one story at a time!
