Your Local Host:

Valeria

Born in Valencia (Spain) to Chilean parents, I graduated in Tourism Industry studies which took me to Germany, later, to Uruguay where I finished my degree final project on Wine Tourism. Later I studied sommelier courses WSET Level3 and in 2018 I was fortunate enough to be granted a scholarship by the Taiwanese Government to learn Mandarin Chinese. I feel blessed that I have learned all these different languages at the same time as becoming a cultural ambassador of my destination, as an official licensed guide (in English, German and Mandarin) in Valencia, Castellón & Alicante. Also, riding a bike is my hobby so in 2021 I published a guidebook "The Best Bike Routes in and around Valencia".

Join me on foot or by bike, I would love to show my guests around, taking them off the beaten paths!
