I’m an experienced and educated private tour guide in Barcelona and Catalonia, offering immersive, tailor-made experiences that explore the region’s rich history, art, architecture, and gastronomy. My tours highlight everything from modernist landmarks and medieval Jewish quarters to Roman ruins and hidden corners of the city. We delve into unique themes such as the Convivencia of medieval Spain, the Indianos period, the lives of Picasso and Dalí, and, of course, Mediterranean cuisine — especially Catalan flavors. For those interested in shopping with soul, I also offer exclusive access to vintage and artisan shops, where you can discover rare ceramics, antiques, and handmade treasures. I’ve been guiding since 2016, a path that grew from my love of food, storytelling, and culture. It’s a role that led me back to university, where I study history to deepen my knowledge and share it with travelers from all over the world. Every tour is a conversation. I believe there’s something fascinating in everyone — and I love the exchange of stories, ideas, and laughter along the way. Let me show you the best of Barcelona, Montserrat, Girona, and beyond — with heart, insight, and unforgettable moments. - English studies at Dalarna University, Sweden - currently studying History at Stockholm University - Meisner and Chubbuck Technique courses at The Actors Workshop, Barcelona, Spain - Short film screenwriting course at Bigoli Studios, Barcelona, Spain - Produced documentary film "Killing Gävle" available to watch on The Guardian, UK

Great tour. We had a last minute chnage because kids wanted to go to the Barca stadium. Our guide was very flexible and still showed us the architecture and significant Barcelona areas and monuments.
We had a fabulous time on this tour. You were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! We had so much fun. We will definitely be coming back to Barcelona and will want to do a food tour with you. Thank you!

Thank you, Hugh — I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour, and it was a pleasure to meet all of you and show you Barcelona. I'd love to host you again and prepare the best gastronomy experience over a few days in Catalunya, where we have some of the best food in the world. Looking forward to it!
Ilona was a fantastic tour guide, We were able to see the highlights of Barcelona with a little history thrown in. She moved at a pace that met my physical constraints. Here driver Kevin was also excellent. I highly recommend her.
