About Tour Guide Benito G.
Hi,
I am a Spanish guide from Valencia and Helsinki. I work as a guide for Spanish, English, and Finnish-speaking groups. I can also speak Catalan, although my native language is Spanish.
I have a master's degree in art history from the University of Valencia and completed a professional career in orientation services at Perho (Finland). I also hold a tourist guide certificate issued by the General Directorate of Tourism of the Generalitat, which allows me to work as a guide throughout the Valencian Community.
I have two years of experience in the field, and I currently work for various companies. I would like to offer my guiding services to you.
For example, I manage the production and implementation of guided services and act as a specialized guide (e.g., bike tours). I am particularly familiar with the destinations of Valencia and Helsinki. In my work, I pay attention to the needs of special groups and safety issues. I also have training as a bus driver and a driving license, which I can use if necessary.
As a person, I am a friendly, social interpreter with an entertaining style. I enjoy telling stories and am particularly interested in history, art, and the curiosities that different places hold. I have received excellent feedback from my professors and on my exams for my fun approach to conducting tours and highlighting interesting details.
I would be happy to work with you if the situation allows. I would be delighted to tell you more about the services I offer.
