About me
Hello! Welcome to the city of Turia! I am Maria, I have been living in Valencia for almost 40 years, so I consider myself a local. I have been a tour guide for more than 7 years.
Showing Valencia to people visiting this amazing city is simply wonderful. I really enjoy sharing a bit of my charming city full of history, fascinating architecture and exciting bars where you can enjoy delicious tapas.
I have a degree in History and Art History so I am passionate about architecture, sculpture and painting of all periods, features that Valencia offers everywhere.
Would you like me to share this with you?
my hobbies
In my spare time I love travelling and connect the history of some countries with others, so the pieces of the puzzle come together to form a whole.
I also love to dedicate myself to my organic garden where I have been planting and harvesting for 14 years, for me it is essential to be in contact with the earth and enjoy the outdoors.
I also really enjoy continuing to learn about art history and general history. And last but not least, I love hiking in the countryside!

Great evening in Valencia old town
We were a group of 4, only 1 of which, had visited the city before. Our guide Maria, provided a perfect guide, showing us places of interest and great little tapas bars, that we wouldn’t have found ourselves. For us the tour was informative, without being boring, and with the drinks and tapas, at perfect intervals, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you Maria! Although you may have got us addicted to Agua de Valencia.
Very nice walk
We had a great walk through Valencia with nice and tasty stopovers at local Restaurants. Maria is very insightful and an all around nice person. I can highly recommend taking a guided tour with her.
Overview of Old Valencia
Maria was a great guide. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. Maria was very open to questions and walked at a nice pace. We really enjoyed our tour.
A must do in Valencia!
My friends and I did a food tour with Maria on our first day in Valencia, I could not recommend it more! We had such a great time with Maria! She took us to some lovely spots which we revisited over our next few days in Valencia!
Maria - Truly a hidden gem of a guide
Our first time to Valencia so wanted to get some local knowledge & Maria our guide gave us this & more. Maria was on time with perfect English & was very friendly. We visited places we’d never have found & heard stories we never would have got from a guide book. Also gave us a great tip as to where to shop in the mercado for our serrano ham, restaurant tips. We visited places we would have just walked by. Introduced us to Horchata (a drink from tiger nuts). A great tour & highly recommended. So nice to walk around with just the two of us & not a large group. Thanks again Maria!
