Christian H.

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!

Being a guide for me is more than a job; Being able to show the culture, history and art of this country is something that I am passionate about, being the bridge between my country and the people who visit it. I discovered this profession almost ten years ago and since then I know that my future is here.

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.

Laura R.

My name is Laura and I am a passionate official tour guide and I try to show visitors the essence of my place, the unique and memorable places. I've been working full time as a tour guide for over 8 years and I hope I can continue for many more. I am also a sworn translator and interpreter by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and I have been travelling around the world to meet new people, to learn about new cultures and to be sure I can speak English in a bilingual way. Toledo holds a special place in my heart, it is my hometown. This is the place that made me who I am today and made me feel what I feel today when I go to work, when I walk around its narrow streets (where I used to play), around the Jewish quarter (where my grandma used to live and the place she had to be hidden in the Civil War), around the convent area (that quiet and fascinating area that surprises me every single day), when I cross the two stunning bridges we have and when I realize that to go to work is a pleasure. There is an indescribable charm about this town. That is why I am a proud official local guide of the beautiful City of the Three Cultures. This is the reason why I love to show visitors the important legacy we have in form of churches, synagogues and mosques. Let me show you the charm of Toledo. I am a very open minded person and I adapt and customize the tour to your specific needs and to anything you may be interested in. It will be a pleasure. Warm regards from the beautiful Toledo.

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.

Nacho M.

Welcome to Granada, everyone! I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Nacho, and I'm not just your average tour guide – I'm a Granada native with a deep love for this city and its rich history. As an Official Tourist Guide of Granada, I've had the privilege of studying the intricate tapestry of Andalusian art history, focusing on the architectural marvels that spanned from the 7th to the 15th century. Granada, as the last Arabic capital of this period, holds a special place in my heart, and I'm excited to share its wonders with you. But it's not just history that I'm passionate about – I'm also fluent in Spanish, Chinese, English, Italian, and French. So, feel free to converse with me in any of these languages! As Nelson Mandela once said, 'If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.' Beyond languages and history, I'm an energetic person who loves staying active through sports like cycling, taekwondo, skiing, running, and calisthenics. Being a tour guide isn't just about sharing facts – it's about being physically and mentally prepared to handle any situation while ensuring everyone has a fantastic time. Granada isn't just a city to me; it's my home, and I'm honored to share its charm with you. As Antonio Machado beautifully put it, 'Every city has a special charm, Granada has its own and all the other cities' charm.' So, let's embark on this journey together and create unforgettable memories in this enchanting city. Thank you for choosing Granada, and let's make the most of our time here!

My name is Sandra. I have US nationality. Early childhood in California and grew up in Barcelona but... born in Bolivia. I feel very lucky having a diverse family background. I have worked in sales, marketing and event organizing. I also have dedicated almost 30 years of my life to study and follow the path of Western Esoterics and Spirituality. I've always heard and read: "Do and share what you love". I really enjoyed meeting new people and showing them around Barcelona, so I decided to also add my deep passion for spirituality and offer a different experience of this great city.

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.

“Barcelona thro local eyes”

If you like culture, arts and gastronomy, Juliana is the guide for you! My wife and I spent 2 wonderful days exploring the different sides of Barcelona with Juliana - La sagrada familia, Gaudi (Modernism architecture) and the Gothic Quarters. Her knowledge of the city, its history brings you back to a time before what Barcelona is today. She allowed us an intimate peek into the gastronomy of the city when she hosted a private lunch by a local chef couple at their home near the Picasso museum. We are indeed privileged to be able to spend quality time knowing about the Catalan history and culture. Thank you Juliana for making us fall in love with Barcelona. Mucho gracias. Winston & Khin
