About Tour Guide 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!

Thank you very much for your kind review! I also enjoyed the tours we had together.
“Great tour!”
We had a private tour with Silvana as our guide. We spent half day in Montserrat (used a private van) and then a Gaudi-specific tour of several sites. She was so knowledgeable and engaging. She was very patient and did not rush us at all. We would definitely recommend hiring Silvana for any Barcelona-related tours.

“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.
