TOURS BY LOCALS "2026 LOCAL LEGEND SOUTHERN EUROPE: WEST" | LICENSED GUIDE and ART HISTORIAN | SKIP-THE-LINE ACCESS Born and raised in Barcelona, I have spent my entire life immersed in the vibrant culture, history, and beauty of Catalonia. My passion for hospitality spans 27 years, during which I have managed luxury tour companies and hotels across Spain, Southeast Asia, and the United States. Thirteen years ago, I channeled this global expertise into becoming a professional tour guide. I successfully passed the rigorous official examinations required to hold an Official Guide License issued by the Catalan Government, allowing me to guide you inside the region's most iconic monuments, museums, and historical landmarks. What sets my tours apart is a deep, academic understanding of what makes this region spectacular. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History and a second Bachelor’s Degree in Business (Hospitality and Tourism) from the University of Barcelona, alongside an MBA. This background allows me to deliver an elite, seamless service that skips the generic tourist scripts and uncovers the true soul of Barcelona. I don't just show you Catalonia—I bring its history, hidden symbols, and secrets to life. Why Book a Private Tour With Me? -100% Private and Exclusive: Every tour is strictly for you and your personal party, ensuring an intimate, personalized experience. -Academic Insight: Discover the stories behind Gaudí’s architecture and the Gothic Quarter through the lens of a trained Art Historian. -Total Flexibility: Your pace is my pace. We can adapt the itinerary on the fly to match your energy, interests, or the weather. -Seamless Comfort: While I specialize in walking tours, any itinerary can be upgraded to include a premium private vehicle and a professional driver. -Global Service Standards: Having lived and worked worldwide, I anticipate the needs of international travelers to exceed your expectations. Credentials and qualifications: -Official Guide License – Issued by the Catalan Government -B.A. in Art History – University of Barcelona -B.A. in Business (Hospitality and Tourism) – CETT, University of Barcelona -MBA – EAE Business School, Barcelona -Active Member – AGUICAT (Professional Licensed Tour Guides Association of Catalonia) -First Responder Certificate and Certified Lifeguard (5 years of experience) – Your safety and peace of mind are always my priority. -Fun Fact: I also hold a Private Pilot License (PPL)—I love exploring Catalonia from the ground and from the sky!

Overview of your Barcelona tour

This is a great tour if you are only staying few hours in Barcelona. The chauffeured car will allow you to see more in less time and to get to places you would not go by yourself or by public transportation. Enjoying this tour with a licensed tour guide will allow you to get to museums and monuments without waiting in line so you will be able to see more things and visit more places during your short stay in Barcelona. I designed an itinerary that includes the most important monuments and sites in Barcelona but I am flexible and open to your suggestions. We shall start and finish the tour wherever you wish. Barcelona is not a very big city but with this tour We will manage to cover a lot in only 8 hours. *** In case there are more than 2 people in your party, please let me know and I will design a tailor made tour ***

A great day! Cayetano is an experienced expert that is passionate about Barcelona. An all around personable nice guy and very enjoyable to be with. Very knowledgeable about art and architecture and goes into great detail, but in a fascinating and interesting way. The day was simply the best. He has pre-purchased all the tickets and made all the reservations. He also has a driver, David. I have found that when on a car or van tour a driver makes the day just all around better. David has a black van, wears a suit and feels a little like a body guard but cuts out all the parking walking etc that is present when the guide drives. We discovered this on an earlier vacation. From now on I think I will ask before booking if they drive or have a driver. Barcelona is a dense European city. David quietly made the day hassle free. Thank you guys. We love your tour and your city.

Barcelona never disappoints and our tour with Cayetano brought it to another level. He was born and raised in Barcelona and still lives there. His tour was professional , well organized and fun! We had a professional driver to make sightseeing comfortable and efficient. The insights into Sagrada Famalia and the other Gaudi architecture as well as other architects of the time were insightful and we learned new things despite this being our second trip to Barcelona! Loved the tapas lunch at a local restaurant of his suggestion. This was my daughter’s favorite tour of the trip! Thank you 🙏

Thank you for such a wonderful day in Barcelona! Cayetano met us at our hotel and made sure we got to see/visit as much of Barcelona via chauffeured vehicle and then by foot in the 8 hours we had. Your love of Barcelona is evident and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. Our lunch stop was amazing, the tappas/wine were so good, the "surprise" at the oldest bakery was absolutely delicious! One of our favorite lunch experiences. Thank you for making our last day in Europe so special. And so happy to be 1,000! :)

Fabulous tour by Cayetano. He is very knowable of the city and its history. I would highly recommend him and his driver.

Cayetano pro-actively obtained our interests and catered the tour to fit them, while also offering excellent advice on other options to consider on our itinerary and schedule. The full day tour covered all the highlights we were interested in, plus some other incredible sights we weren't aware of that are unique Barcelona features. The private car and driver gave us added time to concentrate and see everything on our list at a reasonable pace. Cayetano's commentary was outstanding. Highly recommend.
