Hi !!. I'm Francisco M, experienced 100% local tour guide for private tours, only your group. Born and raised in Barcelona at the neighborhood of Gracia. A traveler too that visited Europe, North America, Mexico, Belize, North Africa, Thailand, Bali, Philippines, Vietnam, Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Turkey, Egypt. I understand the effort that takes to put together a trip, mentally and economic. One of the things I always looking for when travelling is to be treat like a local, mingle with the locals to have a local experience and above all, honesty. Sharp on the details to spot many things that the naked eye tends to miss. I will be showing you my beautiful city and explaining the history of the neighborhoods, giving you a lot of information of the sights, buildings and their artists/architects/engineers. I have city tours and tours outside Barcelona with private car, with VIP Mercedes Van, VIP Minibus and walking tours that range from 2 to 8 hours where we can visit Antoni Gaudi sites like Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila (La Pedrera), Roman, Gothic quarter, La Rambla, Boqueria Market, Montserrat, Gerona, Costa Brava, Sitges, Tarragona, Dali museum at Figueras and the Penedes region for the wineries/cellars for cava.

In my experience as a tour guide and in life made me understand that each person or group is unique and what is fast for ones is slow for others.

Fransisco was an excellent guide. He took some pictures of us with his own camera. He showed us great sights including some interesting neighborhood markets and finished off the tour with an enjoyable lunch having great tapas at a local restaurant.
Francisco was awesome! We loved our food stops and all the history provided. He was also so nice to get photos along the way and sent the edited versions to us a few days later. Would be a great tour to start your Barcelona trip as I felt like I got a good understanding of food and culture and was able to navigate better after. Thank you, Francisco!!
The market walking tour was excellent. I’d especially like to note our guide Francisco was really informative, personable and went above and beyond.
Francisco was amazing!! He provided us a walking history and cultural tour of Barcelona which included Roman highlights, the ruins of the temple of Augustus, buildings designed by both Gaudi and Picasso, and ended with reserved seating in a restaurant that served some of the best tapas we had eaten in Barcelona. Hats off to Francisco!!!
We had the best 4 hour walking, exploring, eating and drinking tour with Francisco. Went to the oldest bar in Barcelona which was such a treat and then walked all over the old city and stopped for the best tapas at 2 different places. Francisco is so personable, knowledgeable and fun so the entire evening was a pure delight. Food was the best tapas we’ve had in Spain. Highly recommend this foodie tour! You will not regret it.
Francisco was a wonderful tour guide! We felt like we got to see the highlights and hidden gems on this tour. From the market to ancient roman columns, we enjoyed all the stops and information. Francisco is a wealth of info and had lots of great suggestions for places to stop and things to see. Our final stop was Ciudad Condal, the food was amazing and the service was incredible! We also loved that Francisco got many great photos of our group. We would highly recommend a tour with Francisco!
Meeting point would the at the Hard Rock Cafe, Plaza Catalunya 21, Barcelona From there we will "ramblear" down to La Rambla, passing by where the Barcelonians used socialice and buy in this open market, we could visit La Boqueria Market if is not Sunday and crossing the Gothic quarter to see the Cathedral and Roman Ruins. The Santa Caterina Market. And the most iconic modernist building not by Gaudi but by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Palau de la música Catalana, a music Hall. And entering into the new city L'Example (1850), a grid neighborhood where all the new wealthy Families established their residences. With buildings like Casa Batllo (Gaudi). Santa Conception Market and the church and Cloisters if open. All having logistic stop to eat Tapas and drinks.
