Licensed Tour Guide in Love with Barcelona. Let me show you why! Hello! My name is David. I was born in Andalusia and hold a degree in tourism, along with extensive experience in hospitality, where I learned to understand, meet, and exceed the needs and expectations of my guests. In 2015, I happened to give a three-day tour and discovered that I enjoyed showcasing everything I love about Barcelona. Following this, I obtained official accreditation as a tour guide. Since then, I have continued to educate myself, learning more and more about the beautiful places we can find in Barcelona and the rest of Catalonia. I offer a variety of city tours, shore excursions, day-outs of town, and customized tours. Just choose the one that suits you best or let me know what you'd like to see and do! People ask me if I ever get tired of always guiding the "same tours. " The answer is always NO. Even if they often run at the same places, the experience is entirely different because each tour is unique and adapted to you. My guests have always appreciated my enthusiasm when I work. Honestly, for me, it does not feel like a job, it's a genuine passion. My children refer to the Sagrada Familia as "Daddy's office. " I consider myself truly fortunate. I am excited about every new tour, meeting you, and conveying all the passion I feel for the places we are going to visit. Feel free to ask me any questions or concerns before or during our tour. My goal is that you fully enjoy it. And also. . . I love gastronomy and have a good list of recommended restaurants for you where we can share a meal while we are touring, or you can enjoy it on your own. I will happily take pictures of you, I know many good spots. People say I'm not bad at all! Let me guide you to live an unforgettable 5⭐ experience. - Official Licensed Tour Guide of Barcelona and Catalonia.

We'll kick off our tour with a leisurely stroll through the winding alleyways of the Gothic Quarter, the oldest section of the city. While the name evokes the medieval era, its history extends much further back to the time of the Roman Empire when it was known as "Barcino." The full name is way more elaborate, and I'll share its fascinating backstory with you! As we explore, we'll marvel at medieval palaces, awe-inspiring churches, and traverse the historic Jewish Quarter. Our journey will also lead us to the vibrant La Boqueria market and remnants of ancient Roman life scattered throughout the area. After soaking up the Gothic Quarter's captivating history, we'll continue to one of Barcelona's most iconic landmarks: the Sagrada Familia. Together, we'll delve into the genius of Antoni Gaudí, uncovering the stories behind this awe-inspiring basilica's intricate details and visionary design.
We can’t recommend David highly enough! We had been to Barcelona before but after spending four brilliant hours with him, we both saw the city through completely fresh eyes and with a much much deeper understanding of the history and culture. David is an absolute wealth of knowledge and a joy to spend time with. He tailored our tour to our wishes just perfectly. We are so grateful to him for this magical experience. Please do yourself a big favour and book a private tour with David.
David truly loves Barcelona as is evidenced by his exceptional knowledge of the city and the energetic and excited way in which he tours you through it. We learned so much about the Gothic quarter, the Ramblas, the market, the Gothic quarter and Roman history, how the World's Fair and later the Olympics shaped the city and of course he was amazing at showing us the Gaudi architecture. Lastly , he was very helpful with guidance on the best places to eat! We cannot say enough good things about him. A+++
David was excellent! Very flexible with our requests, very knowledgeable in the area especially with our visit in La Segrada cathedral. Would refer him to all my guests. Great job!
We had a fantastic tour and David was so knowledgable
David is absolutely fantastic. His knowledge was impressive. His tour was well organized. His personality is excellent. Our entire tour was thoroughly enjoyable.
We had such an amazing tour of Barcelona's old town and Sagrada Familia with David! He has a wealth of historical and cultural knowledge, and is very good at sharing information in a way that is both accessible and compelling. We were 5 people (age range 14 to 88), and the tour was equally interesting to all of us. He was easy to communicate and schedule the details of the tour with. Thanks so much, David!
