I left Germany 23 years ago and have been living in Barcelona for 12. I am an experienced world traveller having visited more than 40 countries on all continents. When coming to Barcelona I developed a passion for its architecture, the rich history & the many legends that can be found all over the city. Turning passion into a profession I became a tour guide and founded my own company specialising in off the beaten path tours and historic walking routes. We offer private tours. This way we can guarantee a high level of intimacy. For us it is important that there is also time for personal conversations. We love to learn about the lives of our guests. Our mission is fulfilled when you got the feeling that you discovered Barcelona with a friend who happened to know a lot about the city. Catch The Barcelona Feeling with me!

I am a dedicated professional tour guide with 16 years of experience in the tourism industry. I am an avid traveler who has dedicated my life to seeing the world, seeking out new experiences, and learning from different cultures. I hold two degrees – a Masters in French Literature from La Sorbonne University in Paris and also a degree in Languages and Socio-Cultural Studies. I began my work as a tour guide in Paris with a multi-national tourism company where I was quickly promoted to focusing on training other guides, in addition to providing my own tours. After six years in Paris, I fell in love with Barcelona during a summer trip to the city. I soon thereafter moved to Barcelona where I now call home – and where I started guiding with the goal of providing my guests the most exquisite, personalized and unforgettable tours possible. It is truly my passion to reach deeply into my knowledge of the art, culture, history and cuisine of Barcelona to give my guests a full understanding of Spanish culture from the unique perspective of a local.

My name is Silvana and I am a full-time licensed tour guide in Catalonia. I studied Toursim and Dramatic Arts and specialized in playwrighting, so I consider myself a storyteller as much as a guide. I am passionate about arts, culture, food, and traveling, and I love to share my knowledge and experiences with others. As a flexible and open person, I am always happy to adapt my tours and experiences to meet your needs. Whether you're interested in exploring the highlights of Barcelona or discovering the hidden gems of the region, I'll make sure you have a memorable and personalized experience. But I won't just show you the sights - I'll weave a narrative that brings the places we visit to life. I'll share the juicy details, scandalous stories, and little-known anecdotes that make Catalonia such a fascinating and vibrant region. Of course, we'll also indulge in the local cuisine, because what's a trip to Catalonia without experiencing the best food and wine in the world? And if you're up for it, I'll take you off the beaten path to discover the lesser-known corners of Catalonia, from quaint villages to stunning natural landscapes. Based between Barcelona and Gandesa, I am open to starting from both locations. So, let's explore this wonderful region together!

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.

André O.
Spain
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.

Hola! Welcome to Barcelona! I'm Agustina and I'd love to be your guide, but first let me tell you a bit about who am I and what we're going to be discovering together :) I was born in Argentina, studied Art History, and as soon as I finished my studies I wanted to travel the world and see new places. 12 years later, I'm still on this side of the Ocean, 9 of which I've been working as a professional tour guide in Ireland, Portugal, and Barcelona! When I arrived in Barcelona, I fell in love with this city, because it's a place that HAS IT ALL. Amazing architecture, very interesting history, very rich in culture, great weather, fantastic cuisine and coastline, what else could you ask for? All of these things that I really love about Barcelona are what I'd love to showcase to you, so if I do a good job. . . you'll finish my tour liking this city as much as I do. Mission accomplished! The things I love the most in life are to keep discovering new things, learning, growing, and getting to share them with others. I LOVE TELLING STORIES and I consider myself so fortunate to match my two biggest passions through my job: Art History and Storytelling! Come and join me on a tour, let me show you why Barcelona is so unique, a place that has many spots that need to be revealed, many secrets to be told, and many stories you'll never forget. Let me guide you through your journey :)

“Great intimate tour!”
If you are looking for an exclusive, small group tour, Julianna is the guide for you. We took a detailed tour of the Gothic Area one day and then the Eixample the other. Each day included a detailed description of architecture and historical events. This really brought the area to life. I cannot express enough the level of detail Julianna provided. Julianna was responsive to text and email. She provided great recommendations for Tapas and arranged tours within the tour, such as La Sagrada Familia. I highly recommend booking a tour with her.

“A great day in Barcelona ”
We visited Barcelona on a cruise and it was our second time there, so we wanted to see the things we didn't get to see last time and revisit a few things again. Rather than take cabs all over town or a tour bus we booked Albert. It was a wonderful experience. He was a pleasure! Also extremely knowledgeable about the city being from there. We were able to hit all the points on our wish list despite traffic at times and made it back to the cruise ship on time. I highly recommend this option.

“Touring for a Day in Barcelona”
Silvana was excellent in every way. She conducted a private tour that she designed for me for one day. We maximized the day, including food and excellent chocolate and coffee. Silvana was very knowledgeable, efficient and entertaining. Her company for the day was pleasant and enjoyable. The day will be one of my favorites for a long time! I highly recommend working with her.

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.
