In 2008 Roos and Bas left for Valencia, Spain, in a fully packed old Volvo. On their way to a new adventure… They immediately fell in love with the city of oranges. The people, the climate, the gastronomy… After a while the couple noticed that there was little up to date information about the city and that there was no good Dutch website about Valencia yet. Bas and Roos wanted to share their tips and local tips with everyone in order to get the most out of your trip to Valencia. This is how Verrassend Valencia was created in 2009. A website with up to date information and all kinds of fun tips. They started with tapastours. With Roos or Bas through Valencia and taste the tastiest tapas, discover the real Spanish life and leave with nice local tips. In 2011 Roos officially became a guide in the Comunidad Valenciana. Due to the resounding success of the tapas tour, she and Bas decided to expand with workshops, tours and activities in and around Valencia.

In the years that followed, Surprisingly Valencia grew into the number 1 Dutch-language website about Valencia. The personal goal is to show, taste and smell the multifaceted authentic Valencia to travellers in a surprising way.
