Hi everybody — after 14 months out, I'm back. I'm Teo, a distinctive, stylish individual who is a delightful and playful guide. I’m in love with my city and genuinely enjoy living here. Why? Just let me show you around! Come explore unique places and intriguing stories that you will discover with me, and you'll create beautiful memories for a lifetime. I studied architecture at UCV in Caracas, Management and Design at Parsons in New York, and Fashion at Llotja in Barcelona. I spent several years working in Spain, Italy, and Japan on editorials, catwalks, cinema, and teaching at the university. However, I discovered my true passion: guiding people through cities, sharing insights about culture, art, and the beautiful places around the world, particularly in my hometown. Consequently, I pursued my most recent degree in Tourism Information and Hospitality. My experiences encompass various facets of the area, including modernist architecture, hidden gems, Jewish quarters, Roman relics, Nazis and Spies in Barcelona, and much more. During these tours, you'll discover the medieval period, known as “Los Americanos or Indianos,” and the importance of the Industrial Revolution in the city. You'll also delve into the three major transformations of Barcelona, the lives and works of Gaudi, Picasso, and others, as well as Mediterranean cuisine, especially that of Catalonia and Spain. Beyond cultural and historical exploration, I provide a unique opportunity for boutique and antique shopping. I'll lead you to exclusive, hidden shops and markets, connecting you with unique treasures and vintage collectibles. Whether you're interested in vintage Catalan ceramics, artisan jewelry, or rare antiques, you can take home a piece of Catalonia's rich culture and history. And remember: IT'S YOUR DAY! My aim is to help you create unforgettable memories! I personalize all my tours because everyone is unique, and customizing the experience is where the journey will lead us. I'm very flexible and prepared to adjust any tour to accommodate your specific needs, interests, or requests. I hold a degree in Architecture (with a focus on history), Management and Design, as well as another in Fashion. I have a Master's in Urban Spaces and a Bachelor's degree in Tourism Information and Hospitality. Additionally, I possess a Certificate in the Aesthetics of the XVIII Century. My tours are always PRIVATE TOURS and EXCLUSIVE for you and your group only. While I do not drive during the tours, I can arrange for a car and a dedicated driver for those tours where the vehicle is not included, ensuring your comfort. Please consult for LARGER PARTIES

2 very nice days, everything, we wanted to see, very good recommendation for dinner, thank you very much.
This was my first to to Barcelona so I decided to take a tour that was offered by Tours By Local. I have always had a positive experience with this company and this particular your was one of the best I've ever had. My guide (nickname Teo) was absolutely incredible. I explained what I was interested in and what I was not. She created a customized experience for me that was perfect. Teo is wonderful in every way. She made this tour the highlight of my trip. I wanted to avoid museums and architecture and focus on seeing the parts of the city that so many tourists never see. My focus was on local food, local restaurants, local customs and culture. She did it all and did it in the most enjoyable way. By the end of our 4 hours I felt that I had made a friend for life. I could not give and higher recommendation. Dave San Diego California
Wonderful experience with Tue - knowledgeable, interesting and most importantly, fun! Thank you for taking such great care of us - really appreciated. Richard & Katy
Well I was standing next to Teo until I realized it was her! We had a good laugh then proceeded to walk over 25000 steps in discovering Barcelona-we did not stop! She took us all over the city telling us about its wonderful history, the Gaudi influence and had great food as well! Teo is a fantastic guide and we already miss her and Barcelona!
Very knowledgeable guide. She showed us many areas which were not the tourist traps. Many wonderful details about life and customs in Barcelona.
Teo was spectacular guiding my wife and me all day for our first visit to Barcelona. Smart, stylish and funny - a thoroughly engaging guide. She immediately "got" us and catered the tour to our interests. We feel like we now have a new Spanish friend!
