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!

Juliana G.
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.
Silvana P.
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!

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.

Bon dia (hello in Catalan), my name is Vincent. I am a passionate and knowledgeable tour guide with a deep love for sharing the wonders of Catalonia with others. With a background in tourism and cycling, I have honed the skills necessary to provide engaging and informative tours for people coming to Catalonia. Having travelled extensively and explored a wide range of destinations within Catalonia, I possess a wealth of cultural and historical insights that enrich every tour experience.

“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.
“A wealth of historical knowledge ”
Apart from being lovely, Silvana has vast knowledge about the history of her city. Her English is excellent and she switches effortlessly between Spanish and English (I am Spanish and my husband is English). I do recommend her tours. She was also extremely helpful with all our queries and booking a great tapas restaurant for lunch.

“We had a wonderful time seeing Barcelona with Juliana”
We had an absolutely amazing time exploring Barcelona with our guide, Juliana! From the moment we met her, her warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease, and her passion for the city was evident. Juliana’s extensive knowledge of Barcelona’s history, culture, and hidden gems made our tour truly unforgettable. She took us to all the iconic landmarks, including the breathtaking Sagrada Familia and the vibrant Park Güell, but what made the experience extra special were the off-the-beaten-path spots she introduced us to. Juliana’s storytelling brought the city's rich history to life, and her recommendations for local restaurants and cafes were spot on – we enjoyed some of the best meals of our trip thanks to her suggestions. Juliana was incredibly accommodating and tailored the tour to our interests, ensuring we got the most out of our time in Barcelona. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her attention to detail was impeccable. We felt like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. If you're planning a visit to Barcelona, we highly recommend booking a tour with Juliana. She turned our trip into an extraordinary adventure, and we can't thank her enough for the wonderful memories we made. We look forward to returning and exploring more with her in the future!
