Hola, hello, my name is Gloria, Barcelona is my hometown, and I love touring my city. I like to combine both art and history with local customs and stories to bring my clients closer to the culture and local everyday life of Barcelona. My goal is to enrich your limited time in Barcelona with memorable experiences. After getting my degree, I passed the exam to become an official local tourist guide. I've been told that I am not only professional and knowledgeable but also WELCOMING and EMPATHIC, and now I invite you to find it out yourself !!

I am very VERSATILE and ADAPTABLE to different interests and typologies and can customize any tour for you. You will enjoy an exclusive tour just for you, guided by a licensed official tourist guide, and skipping the lines, a priceless advantage !!! My wish is to make your experience in Barcelona unforgettable and be the perfect "cicerone. " I have a degree in History of Art (University of Barcelona). I am an Official Tourist Guide since 2009 and a member of APIT (Association of licensed Tourist Guides in Catalonia). I do not drive when touring but I can arrange for a separate car and driver if requested.

Entirely outdoors experience - Get to know deeply this vibrant boulevard that never sleeps
Overview of your Barcelona tour
Back in Barcelona? You have been to Barcelona more than once, maybe you have already been strolling Rambla down but just a little because you were on a general tour. You only had a taste, and now you want to know genuinely. . . You want to listen to the vibrant history and stories of this never-sleeping boulevard. If so, this is your tour !!! The Rambla was in origin a small stream flowing just outside the city walls. In the 16th century convents, hospitals and a university were built all along the river. In the 19th century, the city wall was demolished, and buildings were erected along the now dried up river. Even though it is a continuous street, the Rambla consists of five 'Ramblas. ' That's why you will sometimes read La Rambla (in singular) or Les Rambles (in plural). Let's get into its magic !!!

Gloria was amazing! She took a lot of time with us so we didn't miss any of the different sites. She could tell when we were tired and gave us a chance to rest and take some coffee. She had a lot knowledge about the city. Very sweet and we highly recommend her. A great guide!

This tour with Gloria was an excellent introduction to my time in Barcelona as a senior, solo traveler. Gloria is responsive, knowledgeable, flexible and helpful. She is a delight to spend a few hours with, satisfied all my questions, introduced me to new ideas, and she offered me further ideas to explore on my own. I'm grateful for this tour with Gloria!
