Hi !!. I'm Francisco M, experienced 100% local tour guide for private tours, only your group. Born and raised in Barcelona at the neighborhood of Gracia. A traveler too that visited Europe, North America, Mexico, Belize, North Africa, Thailand, Bali, Philippines, Vietnam, Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Turkey, Egypt. I understand the effort that takes to put together a trip, mentally and economic. One of the things I always looking for when travelling is to be treat like a local, mingle with the locals to have a local experience and above all, honesty. Sharp on the details to spot many things that the naked eye tends to miss. I will be showing you my beautiful city and explaining the history of the neighborhoods, giving you a lot of information of the sights, buildings and their artists/architects/engineers. I have city tours and tours outside Barcelona with private car, with VIP Mercedes Van, VIP Minibus and walking tours that range from 2 to 8 hours where we can visit Antoni Gaudi sites like Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila (La Pedrera), Roman, Gothic quarter, La Rambla, Boqueria Market, Montserrat, Gerona, Costa Brava, Sitges, Tarragona, Dali museum at Figueras and the Penedes region for the wineries/cellars for cava. And obviously I can customize a tour with your preferences, click at my ♥ , so we do not miss each other (heart icon, on the top right corner in my profile) and send a message to let me know your likes and quickly will answer you back with the link to the best tour for you or a customize tour. To top it up, apart from my service as your local tour guide I will bring my camera to take pictures of you and your group from your visit in Barcelona and sends them to you as a keepsake at no extra cost. At the end of the tour I will help you to plan and what to see if you staying longer days in Barcelona. In my experience as a tour guide and in life made me understand that each person or group is unique and what is fast for ones is slow for others. One of my skills is to quickly get to know people and develop a fluid and open communication to understand their needs and adapt the tour to them.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

This tour is a perfect combination to see the Gothic and Roman city, and the Eixample, where we will see the block of discord, Gaudi's buildings like Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo and Casa Mila (façades). It is a walking tour but due to some distance between the sights, we will use the Barcelona public transportation (Metro or Taxi). This is an overview of the sites to see the neighborhoods and the façades of the buildings. Apart of my service as your locals tour guide, the tour includes a set of photos of you and your group as a keepsake.

My walking tour with Francisco was wonderful! I had a day in Barcelona before leaving on a cruise, and wanted to learn more about the city and see a chunk of it up close (on foot). I’m so happy I found Francisco, his tour was perfect. Because I wanted to experience the city up close, and only had the one day, I did not buy any tickets inside of Barcelona’s landmarks, I was hoping to learn what I could about the landmarks and surrounding areas from Francisco. He did that and more, I learned so much from him about the landmarks and the history of the city and the neighborhoods around the landmarks. We started at my hotel (The Majestic) and we walked our way around the various areas and it was great to get all the little details Francisco had about the areas and important buildings (likely more detail and information than I would have gotten on a tour inside some of the famous landmarks). The communication from Francisco was great, and made it easy to prepare for the tour. While my tour really didn’t require it, I believe he is a very flexible tour guide and can tailor his tour to your needs. Plus he took some pictures of me that I would not have been able to simply as “selfies.” A great time and a great guide. I hope to get back to Barcelona in the future and use Francisco’s service again! I highly recommend him.

Our clients and myself thoroughly enjoyed the Gaudí and Roman Medieval City of Barcelona walking tour with Francisco. They shared that he was knowledgeable, engaging, and did an excellent job bringing Barcelona's history and architecture to life. His storytelling and enthusiasm made the experience both educational and enjoyable. We've worked with Francisco on several different tours for our clients and myself over the years, and the feedback has always been outstanding. He is consistently professional, communicates clearly leading up to each experience, and goes above and beyond to ensure our clients are well taken care of. We truly value working with him and confidently recommend him to travelers looking for an exceptional guide in Barcelona.

This is the third time I’ve used Francisco in Barcelona and needless to say, I’ve repeatedly used him because of his knowledge and flexibility in working with us to adjust the tour to our needs. He even helped us out in trying to find a specific souvenir item we were looking for. Any pictures he took was a bonus. I would definitely use him again.
