Welcome to Barcelona, where I create private, tailor-made tours for curious travellers. I’m a licensed local guide who has always been inspired by art, history, and the landscapes of Catalonia. Growing up in a small medieval town surrounded by nature shaped my love for culture from an early age, and today, sharing that passion with travelers is one of my greatest joys. I’m curious, warm, and deeply connected to the stories that give each place its soul. I began my tourism studies in Barcelona, a city that quickly became my professional home, and later continued my training with an Erasmus program in Tuscany. Over the years, I’ve developed a special love for creating unique, author-style tours that go beyond the usual routes. From handcrafted cultural itineraries to bicycle and e-bike tours that help travelers enjoy the city in a relaxed and immersive way, I love designing experiences that feel personal, authentic, and full of character. I guide in Catalan, Spanish, and English, and I have a strong background in accessibility thanks to my earlier studies in occupational therapy at the university. I’ve also enriched my understanding of local wines through sommelier training and hands-on experience, which helps me introduce travelers to the wine culture and culinary traditions of Catalonia in a warm and approachable way. I would be delighted to welcome you and help you discover the magic of Barcelona and Catalonia. Whether you’re looking for history, food, architecture, landscapes, or a truly original experience, I’m here to create a personalized journey that feels warm, meaningful, and unforgettable. Looking forward to exploring together! - Red Cross first-aid certificate - Government licensed tour guide.

Maria Carmen provided an insightful, well-paced, fun and enlightening tour of major Gaudi works in Barcelona. She was knowledgeable of the span of modernist architecture in its multiple modalities, and well conveyed the progression of the movement culminating in Gaudi's Sagrada Familia - who soaring towers, columns, colors, sculptures and expansive spaces are simply...
We had such a good time with Marie-Carmen. She and her driver picked us up in an immaculate Mercedes Benz van and introduced us to Colonia Guell, a place we were totally unfamiliar with, and gave us the interesting background of the park as well as of the beautiful Gaudi crypt. After that we drove to a family-run winery in the Alella wine region, where we had a tour by...
Replied from Maria Carmen B.
Thank you so much for your kind words—it truly means a lot to me. You made me feel so comfortable as well, and it was such a pleasure spending the morning together! I will definitely pass your lovely message on to Jordi—he’ll be very happy to hear it. I really hope to see you again in Barcelona, and next time we’ll enjoy a few more glasses of great wine… and I already...
