Barcelona’s very best private guide. BARCELONA-BORN, OFFICIALLY LICENSED PRIVATE GUIDE with over 25 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, known for clear guidance and well-paced visits. NATIVE-LEVEL ENGLISH PROFICIENCY You may See Me in a short presentation video by clicking “See more” just below my photo. 100% 5★★★★★ Reviews Consistently described by guests as one of the very best guides they have ever had — for knowledge, clarity, pacing, and care. PRIVATE · EXCLUSIVE · SKIP-THE-LINE SMALL PRIVATE GROUPS OF UP TO 6 GUESTS My tours follow a proven structure, refined over many years, with timing, access, and logistics professionally handled — so you can simply enjoy Barcelona with confidence and ease. All tours are PRIVATE AND EXCLUSIVE, designed for YOU AND YOUR PARTY ONLY, with a carefully managed pace. I specialize in PRIVATE TOURS, thoughtfully designed in advance and then carefully adapted to your interests and rhythm — guided by experience. Whenever available, I provide access to PREFERRED VISITOR ENTRANCES, allowing us to SKIP THE LINES and spend our time EXPERIENCING THE CITY, not waiting with large tourist crowds. All driving tours are conducted in MERCEDES DELUXE VEHICLES with a DEDICATED PROFESSIONAL DRIVER. Larger private groups may also be accommodated upon request. ________________________________________ EXPERIENCE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL Over the years, I have had the privilege of guiding an exceptionally wide range of guests, including INTERNATIONAL DIGNITARIES, PUBLIC FIGURES, ACTORS, AND CELEBRITIES. Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the Moon, was among the guests I have guided. What I offer goes far beyond information: CONTEXT, INSIGHT, AND A DEEPLY PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING OF BARCELONA. ________________________________________ A GUIDING STYLE DESIGNED FOR DISCERNING TRAVELERS My guiding style is HIGHLY INFORMATIVE, yet delivered in an ENGAGING, CLEAR, AND ENTERTAINING WAY. Families often remark that even CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS remain genuinely interested engaged throughout the experience. Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked internationally as a TOUR DIRECTOR, accompanying travelers across Europe. I understand the traveler’s perspective because I HAVE BEEN ON YOUR SIDE, and I know the level of service DISCERNING GUESTS EXPECT. ________________________________________ GAUDÍ & ARCHITECTURAL EXPERTISE I am widely recognized for my COMMUNICATION SKILLS and for a deep specialization in the work of Antoni Gaudí. 2026 marks the INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF GAUDÍ — an exceptional moment to explore the life, work, and legacy of Gaudí in depth. As a long-time specialist in his architecture, I offer particularly meaningful visits, placing his work within its historical, artistic, and cultural context. My tours explore his masterpieces in depth, including SAGRADA FAMÍLIA, PARK GÜELL, CASA BATLLÓ, AND LA PEDRERA, always adapted to each guest’s background and interests. ________________________________________ BEYOND THE TOUR As part of every PRIVATE EXPERIENCE, I take time to listen carefully and offer PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS for dining, cultural activities, and experiences to enjoy independently. I also have extensive experience in LANDMARK AND URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY and know the best vantage points for memorable images. Bring your camera or smartphone — I AM HAPPY TO TAKE YOUR PHOTOS FOR YOU. NO SELFIES REQUIRED.

Josef is truly a well seasoned guide. He is very knowledgeable and does a first class experience. You will so glad you chose him as your guide. The transportation to Monserrat was impeccable. We received a great overview of the history of the area and the monastery. Our lunch by the seaside was amazing. Thank you Josef for a wonderful day!!!

Josep was amazing !!! Our whole trip was tailored to our every wish. We spent 3 days with Josep, and there is nothing we would do different. We even used ear pieces (very comfortable) so no matter we where, we could hear as if no one else was there. Not to mention he is a fantastic photographer, so we have pictures we will cherish forever. Thanks for making our first trip too Spain one The Howard's will never forget!

Monserrat was gorgeous and Josep knew so much rich history about it. He provided us with comfortable head sets to be able to hear him wherever we went, and we loved having a luxury car driver. Everything was so comfortable and Josep was so knowledgeable. Monserrat is a unique and gorgeous location high up in the mountains, thanks to Josep knowing all of the perfect picture spots our photos came out gorgeous. The driver was a pro, Josep was a pro. Experience anywhere in Barcelona at ease with Josep.

I had booked 4 tours with Josep spanning 4 consecutive days and this last one was the most memorable. From eating an amazing seafood lunch in Sitges to visiting a cava winery so my husband can buy his favorite bubbles to seeing Montserrat in person, we were so pleased with the tour, but also sad that it was our last one.

Beautiful trip and the time flew by quickly. Both Josep and our driver were top notch. Josep was very knowledgeable, thorough and entertaining. He is very impressive, speaking 6 languages and having years of experience guiding in many countries. The trip to Montserrat is lovely with stellar views! We enjoyed the art museum and Stiges. Driver was great (muy bien!) and the Mercedes was comfortable. This was an amazing day for our family and we will always cherish the memories of it. Thank you Josep!
