My name is Josep, and I arrived casually to be a tourist guide in 2008, when I did my exams to be a Licensed Catalan Guide. So I'm not the tipical guide who studied Tourism but is not interested in other aspects. . . not, that's not my case. My case is the opposite: I found tourism because it likes me, not because I studied, it's different. I've been teaching since 2000, and I thought that touring would be more or less the same than Teaching, but with people more motivated. Also, I could talk about my subjects of interest, subjects I never studied but I read a lot: History, Art, Music, Food, Jewels, Fashion, Gardening, Catalan Culture, Jews, Politics. . . Aesthetics basically and Society, always mixed. To be a good guide you have to read and be curious, not a gossip person, but interested in the world and the people, and anecdotes are very significant to explain History and life. My background is Political Science and Economics, so subjects very different to my hobbies. I think is important to be transversal in Life, not to cultivate the same things in all the aspects of your daily life. World is becoming more and more transversal, transgobal, and I can offer a service touring people interested in curiosities, anecdotes and comparison to other cultures, but seeing the Catalan point of view, with content and synthesis. And also manners. To be a guide you need to be patient and also to be a good listener. So don't wait and book a tour with me! I'll show you Catalonia and all the peculiarities of this smart land !! Degree in Political Science (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) Diplomma in Business Studies ( Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) Catalonia Licensed Guide-Number 2787 Studies of Ballet, Sol-fa and Transverse Flute, (Conservatori de Música Oscar Esplà-Alacant) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

As Manuel Vázquez Montalban said, a Catalan famous writer, "hi ha moltes barcelones" (there are many barcelonas). . . that's the key of its versatility and glamur, not to be too much in anything: Star Wars was partially inspired in Barcelona, you will discover in this tour… The story of a dragon that used to eat young people is a popular legend that embodies a famous building, you'll check it…Expiatory means someone's will to clean the griefs and guilts, a tremendous church will show you how it worked, how faith can built incredible monuments, you'll see it…Dreamy people are interesting, because they do things others wouldn't do. . a garden made with trash of a 80 billion fortune family will tell you the importance of curiosity…Catherine Middleton is Princess of Wales…but Catherine of Aragon family lived in a palace I'll show you. . This tour is all of that and more…come to see it!!!
Josep was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and made the tour interesting. We enjoyed the tour and would book another tour with him without hesitation. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a tour in Barcelona!
Josep Sendra was an incredible guide. I would rate him and his tour at 6 stars if it let me. The tour was full of great information and the food we experienced was so good. And he also helped us with some other arrangements. Can not speak more highly of this experience. Worth every penny spent.
Josep was by far the best decision on our trip to Barcelona. His knowledge of the city is outstanding. We were able to visit everything we wanted to see and more. He is fun and reliable in so many ways. It was really difficult to find a tour, and when I sent a message to Josep he was very quick to reply and to solve any doubt about our visit. Our visit was unforgettable thanks to him.
This tour was everything we hoped itv would be and MORE! We had a group of 13 of us and every single person loved it. Josep S. was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and great personality. The driver for us was also top notch. If I could, I would rate it higher than 5 stars. And Josep helped us set up a dinner reservation for 17 of us at an amazing restricted. Worth every penny..
