Hi! My name is Julie and I am a Licensed tour Guide in my city, Barcelona. I offer private tours that can be customized for you and your group according to your personal preferences. I consider myself a dynamic, proactive, and thoughtful guide. Besides focusing on History and Art, I like to give my tours a laid-back approach, telling stories, funny facts and anecdotes. I love traveling, nature, and learning from other cultures. I have been working in the Tourism industry for the last seventeen years. I have a bachelor's degree in languages from the University of Barcelona (UB). Twelve years ago I passed the exams to become an Official Tour Guide. I am a proud TOURSBYLOCALS tour guide for 7 years already! I have lived in five different countries and after spending some time in Australia, I established myself again in Barcelona 17 years ago. Currently, I live in Barcelona with my partner and my son. My city is a place to fall in love with. There are many spots in Barcelona not shown in guide books that will surprise you. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my tours. I will be pleased to assist you! I am very flexible so I can customize your tour according to your personal preferences. I am looking forward to showing you my city the way I know it: with its unique architecture, cheerful people, astonishing views, bustling shopping streets. . . and so much more! See you soon! - Licensed Tour Guide in Barcelona and Catalonia (Official License nr. 2868). - Bachelor's degree in English (University of Barcelona). - Member of the Professional Association of Licensed Tour Guides in Barcelona (AGUICAT) I do not drive while on tour.

Walking tour in the Old town district
Overview of your Barcelona tour
As Barcelonians, we are very proud to say that the artist spent his training years in our city. Picasso's official opening of the museum in 1963, caused some controversy. Visited by 1 million people in 2019, pre-covid times, it is one of Barcelona's highlights. We will learn not only about his art, but also about his personal life. The museum is distributed in a chronological order and holds pieces from his early years as an artist. Without any doubt, a must see! We will start with an interesting walking tour to discover the places where Picasso lived, worked, the gallery where his first private exposition was held, the places he frequented, and the Old town Barcelona that he got to know so well as a young artist. To finish, we will learn more about the artist through his paintings. Picasso's Barcelona is waiting for you! Discover the city through the eyes of this unique artist and tireless worker.

What an amazing tour made even better by our tour guide Julie. She even was able to get a wheelchair for one of our group who broke his foot which made things so much easier. She is so knowledgeable and personable. I can't recommend her highly enough!
