***FULLY LICENSED TOUR GUIDE #2754 (since 2010) *** SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES Hi! I am Francesc. I was born in Barcelona when it was not a touristic city. Little by little the city became tourist and I went into this world (more than 25 years ago). Nowadays, I'm a guide and this is my full time job: I really enjoy doing it. I offer Private tours all over Barcelona and Catalonia (Montserrat, Cadaqués, Costa Brava, Dalí, etc). My clients say I am very passionate when I tour them. Well, I put myself in their shoes and I think: one trip sometimes is the result of a long time, maybe months or years preparing it. When you travel, you are going to an unexplored land, but you wish everything goes perfect: your flight, your hotel and, of course, your tour guide. I realize if you decide to take a tour guide it is because you think it's the best way to know this place. Therefore, my responsibility is huge in order to live up to your expectations. That's why I will do everything in my power to make your trip perfect. If you look for a more personal and enjoyable tour, just let yourself be amazed!!! ***FULLY LICENSED TOUR GUIDE #2754 (since 2010) *** SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES (see the license picture in my profile pictures) Member of the APIT Barcelona (Association of Professional Tourist Guides).

SHALOM Barcelona had one of the most important Jewish communities in Europe. Its relationship with the city was of great importance to the city's history, but its relationship with the Christians was always tense. The 1391 events made them begin their exile, and with the Inquisition they disappeared entirely. While we walk around their old Quarter, called "Call", we will discover their customs, why they weren't understood and what happened in 1391. We will see what were once their houses, some of them with the mezuzah mark on the door, the purification baths, the recently discovered Major Synagogue, the biggest of the 5 synagogues that the city had, and the Call Interpretation Centre (where they study everything to do with the Jewish people in Barcelona).
Francesc's passion and knowledge really brings history to life, making this tour a great pick for history buffs and anyone curious about Jewish heritage. Definitely worth it if you want to explore an important but often overlooked side of Barcelona’s past!
We had a very well planned and interesting tour with Francesc. It was our fourth visit to Barcelona, but the first where we learned about the history of the city and how it developed and grew. Francesc shared lots of maps with us on his iPad. He was a wealth of information. We had asked for a tour of Judaic Barcelona and Sagrada Familia and we enjoyed every minute.
Excellent tour and Francesc incorporated so much about the entire history of Barcelona and Catalonia. He was kind, patient, very conversational and extremely knowledgeable. I had a really memorable and excellent time! Thank you!
Francesc was terrific. A clear communicator, very knowledgeable, warm, gracious and wonderful to spend time with. Would highly recommend.
Francesc was phenomenal and passionate about the places we visited with him. He had extensive knowledge and shared it with us. Our tour of Park Guell and the Jewish quarter with Francesc was great and we highly recommend his tour.
Francesc was an excellent guide who took us on a tour of the Jewish quarter. He kept the pace slowly enough for us (in our late 70s) to keep up. His knowledge of the Jewish experience in Spain seemed quite complete and communication was not an issue for us (who only understand and speak English). I would gladly recommend him as a guide for anyone who wants to explore this aspect of Barcelona history
Our entire visit is concentrated in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. - the old jewish Quarter (el "Call"), where the old jewish community was settled. - the Major Synagogue: the oldest one in Europe.

Walking
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
To make the most of our time, I recommend meeting at Plaça de Catalunya, right in the heart of Barcelona, in front of the Zurich Café — a very popular and easy-to-find spot. However, I’ll also be happy to pick you up at your hotel, apartment, or cruise ship terminal if you prefer.
