I'm really pleased to hear that you can spend a week with me and my family here. People say this is one of the world's most exciting cities!
What kind of places would you like to visit and what would you like to do downtown?
We can either use public transport or hire bikes to get around. Which would you prefer?

Hi Alex,
That's right, I will got to visit you in a few days. It will be for me a pleasure spending to spend some days on your city with you and your family. As you know, this is the first time that I will go to your city so I don't have many ideas about what places I should/could/can would have to visit. I've taken a book from the library to get more information about the typical trips. I think that this book could give me good advices about what to do.
According to what activities I would like to do, I don't mind which places I visit [??], you are the expert so I will do what you tell me. I've heard the city has not many slopes does not have many hills, therefore we can rent bikes to get around. That way we can do excercise at the same time as sight seeing. than sightseen.
I hope to visit as many places as been [is] possible and to spending an unforgettable week with you .
See you soon,
Alejandro.

Have a look at the choice between will and going to when talking about the future: https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/verbs/talking-about-future
Also look at modal verbs when talking about advice and obligation and possibility. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/verbs/modal-verbs
"Advice" is uncountable - we can't say "advices".
"According to" is usually used to report what someone has said but can be used to refer to the cause of a decision, "We will dress according to the weather." "Depending on" is possibly more appropriate here as in, "We can decide on what to do depending on your suggestions."
"Does not have" we need the does because it is not right to say "the city hasn't many hills". Strictly speaking, "Our city hasn't many hills" is correct, but people would not normally say it, so "doesn't have/does not have" is better. "Slopes" is an incorrect word choice.
If a verb comes after "hope" the infinitive of the is used. It is the same as like, want, love, need: "I hope to visit, to eat, to sleep, to dream, to win the lottery" etc.. If a subject comes after hope then drop the "to", i.e. "I hope we visit/I hope the pope visits".
I hope that helps.

* Understandable, but it sounds more natural to use the word "time" here rather than "days".
** Don't forget pronouns
*** Advice is plural
Good work, and I hope this helps.
