Hi, my name is Vanessa, I am a licensed guide from Barcelona. ART HISTORIAN AND LICENSED GUIDE. SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES. I studied Art History at the University of Barcelona (UB), and I coursed the last year of the degree at the University of Parma (Italy), a lovely place where is produced the famous parmigiano cheese! When completed the degree in Italy I came back to Barcelona, but shortly after I decided to move to London (UK) where I lived during a year and a half enjoying a vibrant city full of art ! When I moved back to Barcelona I worked in art galleries and museums, like the National Museum of Art of Catalunya (MNAC), and contemporary art museum CAIXAFORUM. During the year 2006 I passed the exams and I became a Licensed tour guide. Since the first day I love my job! Meeting new people, connecting with them, sharing my passion and enthusiasm for arts. Make the customers fall in love with Barcelona and wish to come back soon is my objective! Even I am specialized in arts, I love to know and let know what's going on in the city ! I'm flexible, quick to pick up new skills. Ready for the fresh new restaurants and best places for shopping, but also for the most traditional or authentic places, those ones hidden even for many locals ! I live in the heart of Barcelona. I was born close to the land that inspired Joan Miró (south of Catalonia); and I love to spend many weekends in the Empordà, north of Catalonia, where Salvador Dalí was born. - Official Guide Licence, issued by the Catalan Government. - Bachelor's Degree in Art History, University of Barcelona ( I coursed the last year of the Degree at the University of Parma (Italy) ). - Postgraduate Degree in Communication and Design at Elisava Barcelona. - RASGO Red de Juderías de España (Network of Spanish Jewish quarters), Caminos de Sefarad certification. I don’t have any restriction. I am not a driver and any tour that includes transportation will be provided by a hired driver and vehicle.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Do you have a short time to visit Barcelona? Do you wish to cover as much as possible in a relatively short time? This is your tour and I can be your local expert: I have a Degree in Art History and I worked in art galleries and museums. You will see the top Barcelona tourist highlights: the historical area of the Gothic Quarter, the Hill of Montjuic with its impressive city views and location to 2 important periods in our history (1929 World Fair and 1992 Olympics), and the major Gaudi sites, skipping the line at the Sagrada Familia Church with your Barcelona private guide. We shall enjoy a nice view of Barcelona from the top of Montjuic hill. If this is your only chance to explore the city, this is one of the best tours of Barcelona you can take: you'll leave with a great overview of what the city has to offer. And if you are staying, you'll have a wonderful base to decide how to spend the rest of your time in the city and what you want to explore next.
