Hi, I'm María! Barcelona is much more than Gaudí, beautiful buildings, and famous landmarks. It's a city full of fascinating stories, hidden corners, centuries of history, and little details that most visitors walk right past. And I'd love to help you discover them! I'm a professional local guide based in Barcelona, with a background in Art History and a genuine passion for sharing the city with travelers from around the world. For me, a great tour isn't about memorizing dates or rushing from one monument to another. It's about bringing places to life through stories, discovering unexpected details, understanding local traditions, and experiencing the city in a way that feels personal and memorable. And the best part? Every tour is designed around you. Whether you're visiting Barcelona for the first time, traveling as a couple, exploring with friends, or bringing your children along, I'll adapt the experience to your interests, curiosity, and pace. I especially love introducing families to Barcelona. As a mother of two, I know that exploring a city with children should be fun for everyone! I enjoy turning history into adventures, with stories, games, and discoveries that keep younger travelers engaged while adults enjoy the experience too. Beyond the famous sights, I'm always happy to share my favorite local spots, restaurant recommendations, and practical tips to help you make the most of your stay. My tours are relaxed, engaging, and full of conversation. You can ask questions, follow your curiosity, stop for photos, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. There's no rigid script, just a thoughtfully planned experience that feels like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend. I'd love to welcome you to Barcelona and help make your visit something truly special. See you in Barcelona! María

I'm a highly passionate and enthusiastic tour guide from Barcelona, well-versed in both the city's mainstream attractions and its lesser-known gems. Overall, food, history, urbanism, and architecture are my passions, but they truly come alive when I can share them with you. I firmly believe that a guided tour isn't just about me and my knowledge. It's about striking a balance between delivering quality information, exchanging culture, and, most importantly, considering the diverse personalities of my clients. Above all, I prioritize listening to your interests and preferences, ensuring that our interaction is tailored to meet your needs. I also welcome the opportunity to learn from your experiences and stories, enriching our mutual understanding if you're open to it. At the end of the day, my challenge is to provide you with an experience offering a 360º view (clear but not overwhelming) of Barcelona, Catalonia, and Spain. I want you to feel that when you return home, you've experienced and embraced a piece of Spain and old Europe. During our time together, I strive to make learning about history and art enjoyable while igniting your curiosity to continue exploring beyond our tour. And, I can't forget something fundamental – I'm always ready to introduce you to the local cuisine. If you're someone who loves experiencing a country through its flavors, you're in for a delightful culinary journey! About my background: With a degree in Languages and Literature, coupled with prior experience in Marketing, I bring a diverse skill set to my tours. Drawing from this background, I specialize in crafting immersive, personalized narratives that delve into Barcelona's architecture, urbanism, arts, politics, and social dynamics. For me, the true magic happens when I can bridge the gap between the past and present through the lens of present-day Barcelona.

The Best Way to Feel Barcelona. With 19 years of experience as a professional tour guide and a lifelong passion for exploring the world, I’ve learned that the most memorable journeys are never about simply seeing a destination—they’re about truly feeling it. Originally from Colombia, I began my career as a tour guide in Paris, where I also trained new guides for an international tourism company. I hold a Master’s degree in French Literature from La Sorbonne University and a degree in Languages and Socio-Cultural Studies. Years later, I followed my heart to Barcelona, the city I now proudly call home. Today, I specialize in creating thoughtfully curated private experiences tailored to each traveler. As a passionate traveler myself, I understand what discerning travelers truly value: authenticity, flexibility, meaningful connections, and experiences that feel personal rather than scripted. Whether you’re passionate about history, architecture, gastronomy, art, or simply want to experience Barcelona beyond the typical tourist attractions, every itinerary is designed around your interests, pace, and travel style. My goal is simple: I don’t want you to feel like you’re following a tour guide. I want you to feel like you’re spending the day with a knowledgeable local friend who is genuinely excited to share the city’s hidden corners, fascinating stories, favorite restaurants, and authentic culture. I believe the greatest luxury is having an experience designed exclusively for you. That’s why every tour is completely personalized, allowing you to discover Barcelona at your own pace while creating unforgettable memories that will stay with you long after your journey ends. By the end of our time together, I hope you won’t just have seen Barcelona—I hope you’ll have truly felt it.

Hi, I’m Lillia Syromiatnikova — your local guide in Barcelona. I see Barcelona beyond the postcard version — through hidden streets, creative neighborhoods, and unforgettable local details. I live here, speak Spanish, and create personal experiences that can be tailored to you, from shopping and gallery tours to street art, mystical, musical, and running tours. I understand that due to the heat, flights, hotel transfers, or your travel plans, you may prefer to take the tour at an unusually early, late, or nighttime hour. I would be delighted to accommodate you — just send me a message, and we can agree on a time that suits you best. And if you want more than a tour, I can also help you plan your stay in Barcelona through my travel concierge service.

When I left my hometown Düsseldorf in 1999 to move to Barcelona, the Catalan capital was rather a polluted, shady and even dangerous industrial site than the trendy and cosmopolitan tourist destination it is nowadays. I came into town as a photographer and event manager and despite of Barcelona's guff post-industrial charm I was instantly overwhelmed by the creativity and passion of its people, their way of seeing things and to live their lives. With the time I got more and more attracted by tourism and achieved work experience as a property manager and travel consultor. Finally, I launched my own little travel consultancy in 2016 and since that I am offering luxury accommodations, DMC / concierge services and a wide range of day tours and group activities. My core business are private day tours from Barcelona to destinations like Girona, Tarragona, Sitges, Vic, Besalú or areas like Costa Brava, Penedés or Priorat. My mission is to leave the beaten path and to make my customers discover unique historical sites, beautiful landscapes, vibrant street life and amazing food and wine experiences. For the tour we use a comfy, private SUV that fits 4 passengers + driver / guide. The tours can be done in English, Spanish, French and German and they can generally be customised to meet the interests and needs of the group at any time. During the tour you get an idea of the long and diverse history of the sites, local traditions s.a. insights about lifestyle, culture and social concerns.

I have worked in sales, marketing and event organizing. I also have dedicated almost 30 years of my life to study and follow the path of Western Esoterics and Spirituality.

Guiding epitomizes the art of sharing, where every interaction enriches life with passion and purpose ;-) Embracing a life of adventure and cultural exploration, I've called Denmark, Germany, Austria, and Ecuador home while pursuing my career in International Commerce. Armed with a Business Degree and a deep love for the great outdoors, I've also taken on the role of an official Hiking and Cycling guide. For the past two decades, Barcelona has been my sanctuary, where I've found joy in immersing myself in its vibrant culture and welcoming atmosphere. Traveling has always been my greatest inspiration, fueling my desire to extend hospitality to others, just as it was graciously extended to me. Among Barcelona's many treasures, I find solace in scaling the majestic cliffs and spires of Montserrat's North face, a natural wonder that never fails to awe me. But equally captivating is the simple pleasure of losing myself amidst the cobblestone alleys of the Gothic quarter, pedaling my way to the tranquil shores of the Mediterranean. My mission is to curate experiences that blend nature, sport, tradition, and history, offering travelers the opportunity to forge lasting memories and connections. Whether it's hiking through rugged landscapes, cycling along scenic routes, or delving into the city's rich tapestry of stories, I'm ready to guide you on an unforgettable journey of discovery.

“Customised Barcelona”
Carlos is the best . I pre discussed a customised day tour with minimal walking for a family member. He hired a car and it was a lovely day out. We started with a quick debrief at our hotel followed by an enchanting day with the sights and very useful knowledge and anecdotes throughout. It was well worth it. Carlos is the go to guide for Barcelona.

Local Tour Guides in Barcelona
Let the region of Barcelona come to life with personalized private tours curated by a local guide that puts you and your loved one’s dreams at the center.
Looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Venturing beyond the city limits becomes much more accessible with a local guide. They can organize private tours to fascinating nearby destinations that are often missed by conventional tours. The charming village of Sitges, known for its beautiful beaches and lively arts scene, or the ancient Roman city of Tarragona with its impressive ruins and rich history, are just a short drive away and offer unique experiences outside the bustling city center.
When it comes to understanding Catalonia’s one-of-a-kind culture and society, a local guide is the way to go. Whether you’re learning the stories behind this region’s festivals like ‘The Dancing Egg’, or ‘Correfoc’, or you want to spend the day speaking Catalan with the locals on a street food adventure, a local guide can create private tours that highlight the unique cultures of the Barcelona region.
