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.

Montse, in addition to being knowledgeable about the places we visited and the things that happened (or are heppening) there, told great stories to help bring the places we visited to life. She was an outstanding representative for her community but also unafraid to tell historical truths where they needed to be told. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to go "inside" Barcelona. Jack and Graceann Hoopes Villanova, PA

Montse was an excellent guide! She showed us highlights of the old city, while reviewing the history of Barcelona. We then visited Park Guell and Segrada Familia, learning a lot about Gaudi along the way. Montse made it all fun and interesting. She also took us to a local restaurant for a delicious lunch. Montse had great energy--would highly recommend her!

Montse was a fantastic guide and one of the best that we have used from tours by locals. She kept us entertained with her deep knowledge and sharing so many details that we wouldn’t have learned from exploring on our own. Highly recommend her

We absolutely loved our tour with Montse! She went out her way to get us sagrada tickets, meeting us the day prior to our scheduled tour. She explained the history of the areas visited well, and answered all of our questions. Montse also shared some of the fun legends about certain areas or “gifts”. We even got a glimpse at a super old / cute coffee shop where we tried chocolat & churros (10/10). We were given fantastic recommendations beyond the tour that we are excited to try! We loved our conversations with her outside of Catalan / Barcelona history. Fantastic guide, would absolutely book again!

Monster was a great guide with extensive knowledge of Barcelona. We were a very diverse family group, with different walking paces and interests, and she was able to tailor her tour to accommodate that. She made sure to engage our 11-year-old by asking him to find "hidden" items and getting his feedback. We were very pleased.

Fantastic tour all thanks to Montse. She is Professional, personable, positive and patient. All new tour guides should train with her. If they do they might one day become as excellent as her. We have had tours as good but none better.
