***FULLY LICENSED GUIDE #1747 SINCE 1999*** *** SKIP THE LINES GUARANTEED IN ALL SITES*** Hello, my name is Laura, and I am a tour guide since 1999. I love culture and art and showing my city to our guests! I have a Degree in Tourism and a Postgraduate Degree in Cultural Tourism. . I try to continuously join programs to learn more about our history, art, and culture. I love to be in contact with people from abroad and show them Barcelona through walking tours in the Gothic Quarter and its hidden spots, by making them discover its gastronomy and wines, the art of Picasso, Gaudí and so many artists that had left their footprint here. I also give tours to the F. C. Barcelona Stadium. Barcelona is a spectacular place! Other tours will be in other places in Catalonia: Girona, Dalí Museum, Sitges, or Costa Brava. I mainly give my tours in English and French, but also in Italian, Spanish, or Catalan, my mother language. I can adapt the tours to your needs and if there is something you don't see in the detailed tours here described, ask me, the tour will always be a tailored made tour for you, your family, or your friends. Tours will be always private. Only Licensed Guides like me, can give explanations inside museums or monuments, and we are allowed to skip Museum entrance lines. We will not waste time on that! Contact me, and I will help with anything to make the most of your time in Barcelona! This city is a wonderful place and I invite you to discover it with me! See you soon!

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Discover the old city with this 3 hour walking tour. Past and present, great monuments and great history. What was the name of Barcelona during Roman times? What's the origin of the name "Ramblas"? Did you know that Barcelona's political power is at the same place for the last 2000 years? What is the connection between Barcelona with Christopher Columbus? We will see important monuments in the Gothic Quarter such as the Cathedral and Royal Palace, as well as the famous boulevard "Las Ramblas" and several charming squares as Sant Felip Neri.

This three hour walking tour through the neighborhoods was a perfect way to spend our morning before boarding a cruise ship that afternoon. Laura knew the neighborhoods like the back of her hand, pointed out areas of interest, allowed time for a little last-minute shopping. Personable and with a good sense of humor!

We took this tour on our first day in Barcelona. Laura was responsive, prepared, knowledgeable, and able to tailor the tour to our families personality and ages of my kids. Laura also went above and beyond giving us some ideas about how to spend the rest of our time in the city. Everyone in my family thought Laura was awesome and we highly recommend her tour!

Laura was an awesome host. She gave us a thorough tour of old town Barcelona. The pacing was perfect for a member of our group that needs a cane to walk. Laura was engaging as soon as we booked the tour and even helped us set up other tours and meals during our stay. Laura’s English was super easy to understand.
