Hello everyone! I am Maite, I am from the Canary Islands and one of my activities is that of Official Tourism Guide. I am passionate about traveling, languages, gastronomy, history and the natural environment, hiking, discovering and sharing significant experiences. I am in love with my Canary Islands, especially Gran Canaria, the land where I was born and where I live, and also with Lille, a city in the north of France, near the border with Belgium, which I visited on a hot summer day, and where For love, I spend a few seasons a year. And I will be delighted that you want to discover them with me. Although it may not seem like it, both places have a lot in common: the warmth and joy of their people, emblematic places to discover and walk around, and a history, heritage, gastronomy and natural environment that are worth discovering. In addition, they are culturally attractive and full of life. Old towns and roads that are a pleasure to walk and cities and towns to enjoy with all the senses. My tours have one main objective: to make them unforgettable for you. Discover with heart and passion the place you visit, from a local and authentic point of view. In each tour, we will not only travel back in time to learn about the history, anecdotes and curiosities of the area we visit, but also its present: recommend local places to buy, have a snack, a coffee or a beer, possible cultural activities offered at that time. During the tour I will be your guide and if you wish, your friend, so that you can take the opportunity to ask me anything you need. Do not hesitate and join this adventure with me! I am designing new possible tours so please ask me if you are interested.
