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!

Maria is a great, knowledgeable guide. We booked the tastings of Valencia tour with two adults and our two kids (9 & 11) and she shared not only great places to grab local specialty but also some really insightful history as well as wider recommendations of places to visit as well as eat during our stay. You really MUST book in the busy summer months. Kids loved Maria and her tour incorporated things for the kids to look out for too. Brilliant and highly recommend.

Maria was a fantastic tour guide! Her complete knowledge of the total history of Spain was fascinating .No matter what question we posed to her, she knew the answer this was amazing! She’s a warm andcaring person. Each food stop that we made was a delicious one. She provided us with a sample of thetypical Valencia foods . Anyone who takes a tour with Maria should consider themselves lucky! Thankyou again Maria for this very memorable experience!
