Our Company

Valencia Private Tours was born from a simple belief: the best way to experience a city is through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
 
We’re a small team of passionate, licensed local guides who specialize in custom, private tours in Valencia, Spain — from the winding streets of the Old Town to the tranquil beauty of Albufera’s rice fields, from bustling food markets to hidden rooftop wine tastings. Whether you’re here for a day, a week, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, we craft each tour with care, detail, and a deep love for our city.
 
With thousands of personalized tours and happy guests over the years, we’ve learned that it’s the personal touch — the inside stories, the local restaurants you’d never find on your own, the flexibility to stop for a photo or a pastry — that makes a tour truly unforgettable.
 
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter itineraries. Every traveler is different. That’s why we take the time to get to know you, your interests, your pace — and design a tour just for you. Whether you’re a history buff, foodie, architecture lover, or first-time visitor, you’ll see Valencia the way locals do.

Our Founder

Valencia Private Tours is a small family-run business started and owned by Sarah-Kate Redding, an American-born dual national of the US and Spain, and a bilingual official Local Guide of Valencia and a certified Spanish and European Union guide. She was born in Maine in the US but spent a lot of time in the Dominican Republic growing up, where she became bilingual in Spanish at a young age.

After programs abroad in a variety of countries and graduating from the ‘Little Ivy’, Bates College, back in New England, Sarah-Kate came to Spain in 1999 to teach English initially. She started as an official guide of Spain in Barcelona in 2005 and did tours for high-end tour companies all over Spain, France, and Portugal, and has virtually guided in every city and major town of interest in the country.

Kate, as she is more often called, married a local Valencian, and they have 3 trilingual children who occasionally help out in a paella cooking class or on one of our family tours. 2020 was a challenging year for everyone, and most business was paused, so Kate pursued her Master’s at the world-renowned program in Medieval History at the University of Valencia.
