My name is Anna, and I was born and raised in Barcelona. I work as an officially licensed tour guide, primarily in English, but also in French, Spanish, and Catalan, my mother language. I hold a university degree in Tourism from the University of Barcelona and have lived in the UK, France, and Germany. I live in Barcelona with my husband and our three daughters, aged 20, 17, and 15 in the quiet district of Sant Gervasi, in Barcelona. I previously worked at the official Spanish Tourism Office in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), where I was responsible for promoting Catalan tourism. I organized trips for travel agents and German journalists to various tourist destinations in Catalonia, such as the Costa Brava, the Pyrenees, and Barcelona. I also worked on the organization of an important cultural event that took place in Barcelona in 2004, the Universal Forum of Cultures. It hosted more than 3 million people during its 141-day duration. In 2014, I had the brilliant idea to combine my knowledge and passion for art, culture, and the city of Barcelona with my love for interacting with people by becoming a local guide. Being a tour guide is an enjoyable challenge; I continuously participate in programs to deepen my knowledge of history, art, and culture, staying updated on everything happening in the city, including cultural events, exhibitions, and the latest bars, restaurants, and concerts. I invite you to discover the different faces of Barcelona through my tours. Each district has its own unique character that deserves to be explored: from Gràcia, Montjuïc, Gothic quarter to the Eixample. If you’ve already been to Barcelona and would like to rediscover it, choose the tour that appeals to you the most. Since every person or group has unique interests, I customize my tours and explanations accordingly. Only licensed guides are allowed to give explanations inside museums and monuments, and we can skip the museum entrance lines. I look forward to sharing my city, its surroundings, and the rich Catalan culture with you. ANNA If you see that I don't have availability on the calendar, write to me anyway, and I'll try to find a gap in my schedule:) -Official Guide License (#1130) issued by the Catalan Government, granting access to skip the line at most monuments. -Bachelor's Degree in Tourism (Hospitality and Tourism) from CETT, University of Barcelona. -Bachelor's Degree in Social Education from the University of Barcelona. -Additional studies focused on landmarks such as Sagrada Familia, Sant Pau Hospital, and the history of Catalonia and Barcelona, with specialization in figures like Gaudí, Picasso, Miró, Catalan Modernism, and the avant-garde of the twentieth century. -Certificate of completion for the Montserrat 2026 course, organized by the University of Girona and the Monastery of Montserrat. -Advanced Certificates in English, French and German languages. -Member of Aguicat (Association of Licensed Tour Guides of Catalonia), ensuring professional standards and expertise. I don't drive in my tours, but I can arrange private transportation with a Premium car or van.

Anna was so on top of everything about my tours. She was my guide for three days and was amazingly attentive to structuring tours to fit my interests. I learned so much! In addition she provided helpful information about places to go and things to do in the area where I was staying. I could not have been happier with Anna as my guide. She’s super knowledgeable, always thinking ahead to the next destination and happy to pivot if circumstances change. She’s excellent!

My second time at the Picasso Museum. The first time I did it on my own with the audio guide, did not really enjoy the experience as the Museum is a maze of rooms and I wanted a more personal touch. I also found the audio guide a little hard to use. This time we booked this private tour and we were so happy. Anna P was very knowledgeable about Picasso and I felt I got so much more out of it this time. Highly recommend.

We spent 2 days with Anna and at the end of our time together she felt like a friend. As Anna was saying goodbye my son asks " Do you have her on Whatsapp?". She is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. She kept the kids engaged throughout our time together. We really enjoyed our tours. Don't hesitate to book with Anna.

I am so glad my friend and I toured this museum with Anna. I forgot to mention that Anna uses an IPad to provide additional background. In this case it really made all the difference. Picasso carried a black and white photo of the Velazquez painting (Las Meninas) that his father gave him when he was 17. At 70 he painted a series of pictures based on that painting. We had the most fun finding the elements of the originals in his abstract paintings. I had not liked much of Picasso’s works but my new understanding has given me a real appreciation of his art. We finished with a visit to the Palau Musica. Another building designed by Gaudi’s friend and mentor. Do not miss this site. Again Anna pointed out details and history that made our experience memorable. I have not covered everything we explored in our three days. Suffice it to say I would not trade those days with Anna for anything.

I wanted to see the Picasso Museum and learn more generally about Picasso, but I was pretty sure that I’d be overwhelmed on my own. If you’re reading this review you’re also considering hiring a tour guide. My experience was that Anna’s approach was perfect. She provided context to Picasso’s life in the history of Spain and and his evolution as an artist. She had deep knowledge but she was also engaging with lots of energy. I highly recommend.
