Carlos C.
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.

Liliia S.
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.

Juliana G.
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.

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.

I'm also a wine enthusiast, son of a sommeliere and a complete and utter history nerd. If you're interested in authentic establishments, food, wine and history you have found your guide.

I would recommend Carlos to anyone visiting Barcelona. He was prompt and professional. He brought printed information to explain the history and make it better to understand. Well planned day.

“Barcelona Tour”
We booked a 1 day tour with Juliana before going on our cruise in Barcelona. Juliana was amazing. From the moment we met her we could tell that she was invested in giving us the best experience possible. She put us at ease and spent time getting to know us so she could customize our trip. Some tour guides ramble on in a monotone with a rehearsed speech. Julianna is not that kind of guide. She is warm, friendly and enthusiastic. We were never bored. She has an excellent knowledge of the city and the many stories she told highlighting Barcelona’s history gave us an inside view of life in Barcelona past and present. The weather was quite hot that day and Juli made sure to pace the tour to meet our needs. If you tour with Juliana, be sure to ask her for dining recommendations. Juli, the Tapas restaurant you recommended was AMAZING!!! By the time we parted ways, she was our friend and not just another tour guide. We highly recommend Juliana.

Juliana G.
Dear Angelina, I honestly don’t know how to thank you for such a beautiful review. Reading your words truly touched me, because what you described is exactly what I hope people feel when they spend a day with me in Barcelona. Meeting you and your friends was very special for me too. I loved our eight hours together, the conversations, the stories, and getting to know each of you along the way. Knowing that you felt cared for, enjoyed the city, and ended the day feeling that you had found a friend in Barcelona means more to me than you can imagine. And I’m so happy you loved the tapas restaurant! Thank you not only for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review, but also for your kindness and your invitation to Connecticut. I truly hope our paths cross again — whether in Barcelona, Connecticut, or somewhere else in the world. You will always have a friend in Barcelona.

“Unforgettable”
Our tour guide Liliia made our trip through Spain truly unforgettable. Her knowledge of Spain's history, culture, food, and hidden gems brought every destination to life. She was professional, friendly, organized, and always made sure everyone felt included. What really stood out was her passion for Spain and her ability to make each stop interesting, fun and memorable. We saw incredible places, learned so much, and experienced Spain in a way we never could have on our own, An outstanding guide and an amazing experience from beginning to end. I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Spain. Five stars without hesitation.

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.
