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.

This Tour is a PRIVATE TOUR for your party only!!! It is only possible to do it any day of the week except for Saturdays and Sundays Take with me an unforgettable day trip to whimsical and magnificent MONTSERRAT Holy Mountain and Sanctuary. This is the most popular excursion ever done from Barcelona Plus a drive through WINE COUNTRY Penedes to visit one of the most famous CAVA and WINE CELLARS with quality tastings and homemade appetizers. We will also select a suitable local cuisine restaurant to your liking in the region to have a pleasant lunch. After lunch leisurely drive back to Barcelona.
Josep modified our tour to meet our needs while providing an educational and enriching experience. All was delivered in a professional but friendly manner. We learned a lot. We would book with Josep again.
This was a breathtaking and memorable experience to Montserrat and Pere Ventura Cava. Josep provided an extremely professional, articulate and knowledgeable private tour to both places. HIGHLY recommend this to all who seek to understand the culture and history behind Barcelona beauty via a private and comfortable tour that can be catered to your needs. We were also driven to both places in a nice BMW sedan. Josep timed the places so we did not have to wait in line at all as well.
All that we said on our Sept 27, 2023 review
Our day with Josep was awesome, touring Montserrat and the Cava Wine area. He was very informative, very personal, and we just totally enjoyed the entire time we spent with Josep. We would highly recommend him to for any of his tours in Barcelona !!!
This day we had a tour of Montserrat and a cava and winery tour. Of course, once again, Josep proved himself to be the best guide in Barcelona. In between the cava tour and winery tour we had a wonderful lunch.
Josep deserves the highest praise for leading my wife and I on our tour to Montserrat and the wine region near Barcelona. Especially noteworthy was the superb restaurant he discovered in the wine region where we pared delicious local fare with local wines. His use of miniature in-ear hearing devices allowed us to hear his excellent, detailed information during our tour. I would highly recommend Josep and will use him again in the future when we return to visit.
