*** LICENSED PRIVATE TOUR GUIDE # 758 SINCE 1994 of Barcelona and Catalonia Region *** USE OF VISUAL AID *** Born and raised in Barcelona city. It was in 1994 when I did my first guided tour and I still remember it, since then it has been my full-time job and I LOVE IT! Before becoming a Tour Guide, I worked in other tourism related businesses including travel agencies, hotels as well as in other positions at both national and multinational companies. Some of my hobbies include hiking, diving, cycling, cooking and also traveling. One of my passions is photography so when you come, I could take good photos of you! My love for nature and seeking adventure, has taken me to over 50 countries around the world. I consider myself accommodating, flexible, personable and fun to be with. When you visit us, you will learn a lot about the visited sites, the history, culture, traditions, gastronomy and also where the locals go. If you wish, I will also recommend you the best "Tapas" and paella restaurants, shopping areas and much more. . . Would you like to save time and see as much as possible? With me, you will "SKIP THE LINE" to all the visited sites, museums and monuments. My clients range from couples, friends, families with children, to seniors…and also larger parties. As your local expert, I know that travelers have different needs, so I can also suggest a TAILOR-MADE tour for your party. Contact me if you have any doubts or questions to ask to make the most of your time in Barcelona. See you soon and remember that all the TOURS ARE ALWAYS PRIVATE, ONLY FOR YOU! Only Official Guides are allowed to give explanations in museums and monuments. In addition you can avoid lines! - US High School diploma - Degree in Tourism - Member of: CEFAPIT (Spanish Confederation of Tour Guides) FEG (European Federation of Tour Guides) WFTGA (World Federation of Tour Guides) - Advanced Open Water Dive Certificate (PADI) - Coastal Skipper Sailing Certificate (PER) I am not driving when guiding but for your comfort I can arrange for a car or mini van with a professional driver for tours in which the vehicle is not included.
