About Tour Guide Juliana G.
The Best Way to Feel Barcelona.
With 19 years of experience as a professional tour guide and a lifelong passion for exploring the world, I’ve learned that the most memorable journeys are never about simply seeing a destination—they’re about truly feeling it.
Originally from Colombia, I began my career as a tour guide in Paris, where I also trained new guides for an international tourism company. I hold a Master’s degree in French Literature from La Sorbonne University and a degree in Languages and Socio-Cultural Studies. Years later, I followed my heart to Barcelona, the city I now proudly call home.
Today, I specialize in creating thoughtfully curated private experiences tailored to each traveler. As a passionate traveler myself, I understand what discerning travelers truly value: authenticity, flexibility, meaningful connections, and experiences that feel personal rather than scripted. Whether you’re passionate about history, architecture, gastronomy, art, or simply want to experience Barcelona beyond the typical tourist attractions, every itinerary is designed around your interests, pace, and travel style.
My goal is simple: I don’t want you to feel like you’re following a tour guide. I want you to feel like you’re spending the day with a knowledgeable local friend who is genuinely excited to share the city’s hidden corners, fascinating stories, favorite restaurants, and authentic culture.
I believe the greatest luxury is having an experience designed exclusively for you. That’s why every tour is completely personalized, allowing you to discover Barcelona at your own pace while creating unforgettable memories that will stay with you long after your journey ends.
By the end of our time together, I hope you won’t just have seen Barcelona—I hope you’ll have truly felt it.

I had an excellent experience with Juliana. She was upbeat, highly knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. The tour was well worth it, and I came away with a much deeper understanding of Barcelona.

Liliia S.
Hi, I’m Lillia Syromiatnikova — your local guide in Barcelona. I see Barcelona beyond the postcard version — through hidden streets, creative neighborhoods, and unforgettable local details. I live here, speak Spanish, and create personal experiences that can be tailored to you, from shopping and gallery tours to street art, mystical, musical, and running tours. I understand that due to the heat, flights, hotel transfers, or your travel plans, you may prefer to take the tour at an unusually early, late, or nighttime hour. I would be delighted to accommodate you — just send me a message, and we can agree on a time that suits you best. And if you want more than a tour, I can also help you plan your stay in Barcelona through my travel concierge service.

My name is Albert, I was born and raised in Barcelona. I am friendly and respectful, I love food, the photography, and the outdoors. I am a passionate of the History of Barcelona. I own a local tourist company, which offers private tours in Barcelona and surroundings. We are a team of guides and drivers that can bring you wherever you need, in one of our private normal tours, or in a tailor made transfer. All of us are professional with a good acknowledgment of our work, and most important very good persons. We have an Audi car and two Mercedes V Class van, depending on the size of the group. Please ask me for your desired destinations all around Catalonia. Looking forward to meeting you soon.

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.
