Licensed Tour Guide in Love with Barcelona. Let me show you why! Hello! My name is David. I was born in Andalusia and hold a degree in tourism, along with extensive experience in hospitality, where I learned to understand, meet, and exceed the needs and expectations of my guests. In 2015, I happened to give a three-day tour and discovered that I enjoyed showcasing everything I love about Barcelona. Following this, I obtained official accreditation as a tour guide. Since then, I have continued to educate myself, learning more and more about the beautiful places we can find in Barcelona and the rest of Catalonia. I offer a variety of city tours, shore excursions, day-outs of town, and customized tours. Just choose the one that suits you best or let me know what you'd like to see and do! People ask me if I ever get tired of always guiding the "same tours. " The answer is always NO. Even if they often run at the same places, the experience is entirely different because each tour is unique and adapted to you. My guests have always appreciated my enthusiasm when I work. Honestly, for me, it does not feel like a job, it's a genuine passion. My children refer to the Sagrada Familia as "Daddy's office. " I consider myself truly fortunate. I am excited about every new tour, meeting you, and conveying all the passion I feel for the places we are going to visit. Feel free to ask me any questions or concerns before or during our tour. My goal is that you fully enjoy it. And also. . . I love gastronomy and have a good list of recommended restaurants for you where we can share a meal while we are touring, or you can enjoy it on your own. I will happily take pictures of you, I know many good spots. People say I'm not bad at all! Let me guide you to live an unforgettable 5⭐ experience. - Official Licensed Tour Guide of Barcelona and Catalonia.

We have toured Barcelona several times in times in the past 15 years. David was by far our best guide. He is charming, engaging, passionate and above all knows his stuff. He led us through the Old City, which we had seen before, but never with this kind of intelligence and thoroughness. We got an excellent overview of the city and learned many new facts about the Sagrada Familia church, above and beyond what we learned from our previous visits. If David is available, book him for your tour. No doubt.

He met us on time at our hotel. He was flexible as some of our group wanted coffee. He was very accommodating to some of less mobile people in our group.David was very informative about his town and the places we went. He got the tickets so we bypassed the long lines. We all had a great time and felt it was a great value for the money. We would all highly recommend David for a tour of the city.

David was great!
Kyle C.United States
David was amazing. He had so much knowledge to share and was a sport for doing the tour during a constant rain. He had lovely photos to share of Sagrada Familia to show the lighting during sunny days so we could experience the majesty. In our 1/2 day tour we were able to see so much of Barcelona. He does a brilliant job of showcasing Barcelona.
Lani G.United States
Fantastic tour, only way to see the city. David was professional, great company and a pleasure to be with. It was just totally enjoyable.
