Hi! My name is Julie and I am a Licensed tour Guide in my city, Barcelona.

I offer private tours that can be customized for you and your group according to your personal preferences.

I consider myself a dynamic, proactive, and thoughtful guide. Besides focusing on History and Art, I like to give my tours a laid-back approach, telling stories, funny facts and anecdotes.

I love traveling, nature, and learning from other cultures. I have been working in the Tourism industry for the last seventeen years. I have a bachelor's degree in languages from the University of Barcelona (UB). Twelve years ago I passed the exams to become an Official Tour Guide. I am a proud TOURSBYLOCALS tour guide for 6 years already!

I have lived in five different countries and after spending some time in Australia, I established myself again in Barcelona 15 years ago. Currently, I live in Barcelona with my partner and my son.

My city is a place to fall in love with. There are many spots in Barcelona not shown in guide books that will surprise you. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my tours. I will be pleased to assist you! I am very flexible so I can customize your tour according to your personal preferences.

I am looking forward to showing you my city the way I know it: with its unique architecture, cheerful people, astonishing views, bustling shopping streets. . . and so much more!

See you soon!

I do not drive while on tour. We can use public transport or taxis if needed. I can also arrange a private vehicle with a professional driver.

You will get the most of the 2 hours as I am a real expert in Gaudí, the most famous architect in history. I was born in Reus, the same city, and our families knew each other. As a journalist, I have written very many bookguides, essays and articles about Gaudi's works.

Once inside we will visit the central nave, the museums, and the school. If, in the peak season, tickets for the inside are sold out, I will give you the money back for the tickets and we will visit the open areas. An unforgettable experience. Don't miss the chance of getting along with an expert in Gaudí, and a writer of guidebooks on Gaudí.

I suggest to do the tour in the afternoon, 15-17h or 16-18h when the sun is at the west side, and its rays through the warmed coloured stained glass windows -red, orange, yellow- create wonderful effects in the central nave.
