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.

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!

Born in Segovia. I am an official tour guide of Castille and Leon, mainly in Segovia and surrounding villages. Everytime I happen to walk in Segovia I feel like a tourist, yet with the knowledge of history of every corner of the city. It's easy to fall in love with Segovia being a World Heritage Site, having one of the most impressive Roman Aqueducts, a generous number of Romanesque churches, the last Gothic-style Spanish Cathedral and the Alcázar and much much more to discover. On top of I really enrich myself exchanging knowledge with different cultures, which I believe it makes the visit more joyful and interesting.

Spain Tour Reviews
Larry A.
Gastronomic Experience + Gaudi + Sagrada Familia + Gothic Quarter
“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.
