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!

If this is your situation, please let me know in advance so that I can contact the monument in order to be able to use your tickets. Additionally, I am available to provide personalized, tailor-made tours and can also arrange transportation for an additional fee.

“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.

Hi all travellers, nice to know you here and hope we can meet in Barcelona. My name is My (you can call me Mee). I am from Vietnam and I have been living in Barcelona for 5 years. Although I am not a Spanish/Catalan guide, I have a different view about Barcelona & Spain, being an Asian/Vietnamese girl who has been working and travelling all around Spain. Nowadays, there are a lot of Digital nomads who would like to combine working and travelling at the same time. I can say that I am one of them. I have experience in living abroad (Vietnam, Spain & Portugal) and going through all the process of relocation to Barcelona so that I can share with you if you are interested in moving to Barcelona. Furthermore, I speak Vietnamese, English and Spanish fluently. I also speak a bit of Portuguese, and Catalan. So if you love learning languages, we will be great partners. Last but not least, I can cook some Vietnamese-Spanish mixed food at home and offer you lunch during my tour (for reservation of at least 5-hour tour) What are you expecting more? Let me know.

Guiding epitomizes the art of sharing, where every interaction enriches life with passion and purpose ;-) Embracing a life of adventure and cultural exploration, I've called Denmark, Germany, Austria, and Ecuador home while pursuing my career in International Commerce. Armed with a Business Degree and a deep love for the great outdoors, I've also taken on the role of an official Hiking and Cycling guide. For the past two decades, Barcelona has been my sanctuary, where I've found joy in immersing myself in its vibrant culture and welcoming atmosphere. Traveling has always been my greatest inspiration, fueling my desire to extend hospitality to others, just as it was graciously extended to me. Among Barcelona's many treasures, I find solace in scaling the majestic cliffs and spires of Montserrat's North face, a natural wonder that never fails to awe me. But equally captivating is the simple pleasure of losing myself amidst the cobblestone alleys of the Gothic quarter, pedaling my way to the tranquil shores of the Mediterranean. My mission is to curate experiences that blend nature, sport, tradition, and history, offering travelers the opportunity to forge lasting memories and connections. Whether it's hiking through rugged landscapes, cycling along scenic routes, or delving into the city's rich tapestry of stories, I'm ready to guide you on an unforgettable journey of discovery.
