Hello! Nice to meet you:) I am Montse and I'm a licensed local guide in Barcelona and Catalunya. I am a graduate in Audiovisual Communication and I also have a Master in script writing. For many years I have been combining Tourism work with the performing arts, cinema and theatre . This two areas which would appear to be unconnected have actually made me the kind of guide I am. You will be able to discover the city as if you were watching a film. We can include visual poetry and narrative in the way we walk around the city! Fall in love with Barcelona and Catalonia! I can show you the popular venus, the hidden gems and the quiet places where we locals go. On foot, by bike or with our own driver. I am interested in art, history and culture in general and I am constantly updating. Tell me what interests you and I can design a tailored made tour which will give you a truly great experience. -Official Guide License, issued by the Catalan Government. That means I can explain inside the monuments and skip the line in most of the monuments. -Experience as a private guide since 2014 -Experience coordinating tours and logistics for international football academies and school groups, including children and teenagers since 2017. -Official Guide License, issued by the Balearic Islands Government -Bachelor's Degree in Audiovisual Communication, University Pompeu Fabra -MA in Screenwriting, University of Barcelona -Semester in Communication Studies in Roskilde University, Denmark -Member of AGUICAT (Professional licensed tour guides Association of Catalonia) -Performing arts and singing courses. -First-aid course training and experience as a lifeguard.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Is it your first day in the city? Do you only have a short time? Come upon the most important spots in Barcelona on a chauffeured car that will allow you to see more in less time. We will start by heading to Montjuic mountain, the highest point of the city to enjoy the wonderful views. Feel the fresh air and smell the nature in Barcelona's green lung: the Hated Mountain that turned into the Olympic hill. Let me explain to you my personal memories about the important things that have happened in this mountain for Barcelona's outcome. After, we will go to the fancy example neighbourhood to see some houses we have in town that look from fairy tales. Let your imagination fly and travel with me to the turn of the century, when architecture went beyond architecture. Once we have discovered the meaning of its details, we will get to la Sagrada Familia, the magnificent Gaudi's masterpiece, the must-see in Barcelona. With this tour you will explore the different faces, the different flavours of my vibrant city.

Montse showed us her beautiful city of Barcelona. She was interesting and shared the history of each place we stopped. For three senior citizens on their first trip to Barcelona, having Vincent’s as a driver was wonderfully convenient in getting around the city. Montse did a wonderful job!

Montse was a wonderful guide! With only 3 hours in Barcelona she made we saw the highlights and leaving us yearning gore of this beautiful city. She arranged pick up for 7 (and lots if luggage) with a driver from the airport, highlights of Barcelona, and drop off at the cruise port while working within our late flight and desire to see as much of Barcelona as possible!

Me and my friends, all of us were very pleased by Montse. She was very kind and helpful guide as well as her good knowledge about the city, especially Sagrada Familia where we desired to visit very much. She is very special! If I ever visit Barcelona in the future my guide will be Montse again. Thank you Montse...

We had limited time in Barcelona after a cruise. We were grateful to find the private tour with Montse. She was accommodating with planning our tour to include the sites we wanted to view and avoiding the sites that we had tickets to do on our own. After meeting us at the port and loading our luggage, we were off. We stopped for photo opportunities and even included a walking tour of the Gothic Quarter. Montse asked if we wanted to stop at a cafe for a traditional sweet milk drink. We did and were delighted by it. At the end of the tour we were dropped at our hotel with our luggage. It couldn't have been easier. Montse loves the city of Barcelona and does an amazing job of explaining the sites and the history, always keeping it interesting. We highly recommend Montse as your tour guide!

Our tour with a Montse was wonderful! She knew so much about everything we saw and shared it with us in such an interesting way! One great thing that she did was to send us an awesome picture of the diving competition at the Olympic stadium- I had so much fun sharing that with our friends! She was so gracious about taking lots of pictures for us- it was a great tour, and she is a tour guide I highly recommend!

Montse was great. She shared great highlights of Barcelona with us. She was very flexible to our interests, including an impromptu stop for a crussant . She was accomodating to my wife's mobility issues and considerate at every turn. I would highly recommend booking with her.
