About this experience

Spoiler Alert - If you're looking for the typical tourist trail, this isn't the tour for you. As an award-winning photographer and former New Yorker turned full-time Valencia resident — not your typical tour guide — I offer an experience that goes beyond the usual tour, blending creativity, insight, and discovery. At the first stop, you’ll experience a brief yet impactful introduction to the "Art of Observation" and you'll learn to see beyond the surface and capture the deeper beauty around you. I won’t reveal all the locations we’ll visit in advance because they aren’t the typical tourist spots you can find on a map. Instead, I’ll guide you to hidden alleys, unique street corners, and special viewpoints of Valencia that only locals know. Most importantly, we'll have a great time together in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere as we explore the lesser-known parts of my city. And not to worry if you don't have a camera, about half of the people use their mobile phone on my tour.
