Welcome to Barcelona, where I create private, tailor-made tours for curious travellers. I’m a licensed local guide who has always been inspired by art, history, and the landscapes of Catalonia. Growing up in a small medieval town surrounded by nature shaped my love for culture from an early age, and today, sharing that passion with travelers is one of my greatest joys. I’m curious, warm, and deeply connected to the stories that give each place its soul. I began my tourism studies in Barcelona, a city that quickly became my professional home, and later continued my training with an Erasmus program in Tuscany. Over the years, I’ve developed a special love for creating unique, author-style tours that go beyond the usual routes. From handcrafted cultural itineraries to bicycle and e-bike tours that help travelers enjoy the city in a relaxed and immersive way, I love designing experiences that feel personal, authentic, and full of character. I guide in Catalan, Spanish, and English, and I have a strong background in accessibility thanks to my earlier studies in occupational therapy at the university. I’ve also enriched my understanding of local wines through sommelier training and hands-on experience, which helps me introduce travelers to the wine culture and culinary traditions of Catalonia in a warm and approachable way. I would be delighted to welcome you and help you discover the magic of Barcelona and Catalonia. Whether you’re looking for history, food, architecture, landscapes, or a truly original experience, I’m here to create a personalized journey that feels warm, meaningful, and unforgettable. Looking forward to exploring together! - Red Cross first-aid certificate - Government licensed tour guide.

Experience Barcelona in an intimate, elegant, and truly exclusive way in a very small group.
Overview of your Barcelona tour
We begin with a guided walk through the most authentic streets of El Born, a neighborhood full of history, character, and hidden corners that can only be discovered on foot. As we wander through medieval alleys and charming squares, I’ll share the stories and secrets that make this area one of the most special parts of the city. Midway through the experience, we stop at a carefully selected rooftop. A calm and sophisticated space where you can relax with a refreshing drink while enjoying panoramic views over the city. We then continue our walk through El Born, discovering its more local, stylish, and vibrant side, away from the most touristy routes. The experience ends by the sea, where we board a private boat to enjoy the Mediterranean with chilled drinks included, in a relaxed and exclusive atmosphere.
