Valencia Greeters
Free Walk with a Local
Discover Valencia through a free walk with a Local
Discover Valencia, a thriving, fascinating city where history and modern life merge. Here, you can not only visit the famous sights, but also experience authentic Spanish life around every corner. Imagine exploring the lively streets and immersing yourself in the real life of the city. For a perfect start, we recommend a tour with a Greeter, a local who will introduce you to the essence of Valencia, the heart and soul of the city.
Explore the city together, from the expansive spaces and picturesque backdrops of the Turia Gardens (a former riverbed that has been transformed into a huge landscape park) to the sensory overload of the Central Market (a spectacular indoor bazaar with countless stalls full of fantastic products). Find a Valencia Greeter here, a hospitable local who will voluntarily show you their city. A meeting with a Valencia Greeter is not just another sightseeing tour, but a warm introduction that shows you everyday life and all its special features.

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .
Maximum six people!
Our core value #2 reads "Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people."
The reason is that each Greet should be an opportunity to talk to each other and that seems impossible in bigger groups.
Also important: we do not mingle people from different requests but serve only you (and your friends).
Meet a local volunteer
Our core value #1 reads "Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city."
It's true: Our Greeters love their city or town and they are proud to share this with guests.
How could you better discover the most interesting spots of a place?
Free service, no tipping
Our core value #3 reads "Meeting a Greeter is free of charge."
We do not follow a "give what you think is ok (but please give)" strategy. Greeters honestly do not like any tipping because what they give comes from their heart not because of any tipping expectation.
If you would like to support the Greeters as a whole you are welcome to donate to the International Greeter Association here.

Just to say how much we appreciated Linda, from your organisation on our recent trip to Valencia.
She provided us with lots of very useful information, which really made a positive difference to our trip. We would not have had such a good time without her!
It was a fantastic experience. Guillermo’s love for Valencia really comes through. It was wonderful wandering though the old town and seeing the neighbourhood. His recommendations were wonderful.
