Hola! Welcome to Barcelona! I'm Agustina and I'd love to be your guide, but first let me tell you a bit about who am I and what we're going to be discovering together :) I was born in Argentina, studied Art History, and as soon as I finished my studies I wanted to travel the world and see new places. 12 years later, I'm still on this side of the Ocean, 9 of which I've been working as a professional tour guide in Ireland, Portugal, and Barcelona! When I arrived in Barcelona, I fell in love with this city, because it's a place that HAS IT ALL. A city full of Art, amazing architecture, great weather, fantastic cuisine and a coastal city, what else could we ask for? :) All of these things that I really love about Barcelona are what I'd love to showcase to you, so if I do a good job. . . you'll finish my tour liking this city as much as I do. Mission accomplished! The things I love the most in life are to keep discovering new things, learning, growing, and getting to share them with others. I LOVE TELLING STORIES and I consider myself so fortunate to match my two biggest passions through my job: Art History and Storytelling! Come and join me on a tour, let me show you why Barcelona is so unique, a place that has many spots that need to be revealed, many secrets to be told, and many stories you'll never forget!

On this tour, we will discover industrialized Barcelona in the XIX together. During the industrial revolution, Barcelona became the economic core of the Iberian Peninsula. We demolished the city walls, we expanded the city, and designed a new Barcelona that would reflect its new prosperity. All this new technology opened the gate to creativity! On this experience, we will see and analyse Passeig the Gracia, which became the symbol of Barcelona's bourgeoisie, a pleasant and enjoyable overview of this beautiful architectural style that has only occured here, on this side of the world! I always like to say that one thing is to admire a beautiful street and take nice pictures, a something very different is to understand what we are looking at, so you will gain perspective and a different level of appreciation! We’ll continue heading to Sagrada Familia where we will analyse the history of the monument from the exterior and its façades. Great location where to finish this modernist experience.
Our guide Augustina n Barcelona was fantastic. Full of youthful energy and artistic passion, she planned the day down to the last detail. Instead of just talking at us, she made us part of the conversation, encouraging us to look closer and analyze what we were seeing. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Barcelona! Alex K
Augustina was the most knowledgeable guide we had on our entire trip. If you are interested in knowing more about the art, architecture and history of Barcelona, this is the right tour for you!
We learned so much about Barcelona and Gaudi's architecture on this tour. We really appreciated the way that Agustina Belen Volpini presented the information to us. She created a wonderful dialogue that helped us stay engaged and really appreciate what we were seeing. Would highly recommend!!
Augustina was a wonderful guide with great knowledge of Gaudì and modernist architecture. We spent three hours with her walking through Barcelona and marvelling at Gaudi’s works including Casa Batllo, Casa Mila and the Sagrada Familia. Augustina also helped us navigate around this beautiful city and gave us local information and insider tips. She has a wonderful personality and made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommended.
Agustina is an excellent tour guide. Definitely worth it! We learned so much about Barcelona. The tour was exceptional. She was accommodating and worked with me and my wife. Due to rain that morning she rescheduled for later in the day. Augustina has a great personality and made us very comfortable. Before meeting her I was somewhat apprehensive however, she gave us full, undivided attention. I think we got more value than had it been a regular group tour. Definitely, I would opt for the same type of service again.
Agustina was just perfect for our family group, tailored tour to our needs and duration. Great sights visited and she pitched for the whole family, spoke Spanish to help our girls language learning and English for the Parents! Can't recommend enough she was great. Many thanks.
-We would meet at Plaça Catalunya (at the beginning of Passeig de Gràcia). -I will then proceed to explain the distribution of the city and the XIX century proyect of the Extention of Barcelona. -During our walking, we will enjoy and analyze the modernist elements of Passeig the Gracia and its highlights, which definitely make it unique and a "must" to be interpretated and appreciated. -We will see Casa Lleo I Moreras, designed by the Father of Modernism, Dominech I Montaner. -We will come across Casa Amatller, also known as the House of Chocolate, where we'll have a nice coffee break. -We will then proceed towards Casa Battlo, Antoni Gaudi's masterpiece. -La Pedrera, Gaudi's last private work before retiring and dedicating himself exclusively to working in Sagrada Familia, our grand finale. -To wrap up the tour, we will head to Sagrada Familia either by walking from our prior spot (roughly an 20 min walk) or we could also take the metro or taxi. (10 min away). (Customizable)
