Hi, my name is Vanessa, I am a licensed guide from Barcelona. ART HISTORIAN AND LICENSED GUIDE. SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES. I studied Art History at the University of Barcelona (UB), and I coursed the last year of the degree at the University of Parma (Italy), a lovely place where is produced the famous parmigiano cheese! When completed the degree in Italy I came back to Barcelona, but shortly after I decided to move to London (UK) where I lived during a year and a half enjoying a vibrant city full of art ! When I moved back to Barcelona I worked in art galleries and museums, like the National Museum of Art of Catalunya (MNAC), and contemporary art museum CAIXAFORUM. During the year 2006 I passed the exams and I became a Licensed tour guide. Since the first day I love my job! Meeting new people, connecting with them, sharing my passion and enthusiasm for arts. Make the customers fall in love with Barcelona and wish to come back soon is my objective! Even I am specialized in arts, I love to know and let know what's going on in the city ! I'm flexible, quick to pick up new skills. Ready for the fresh new restaurants and best places for shopping, but also for the most traditional or authentic places, those ones hidden even for many locals ! I live in the heart of Barcelona. I was born close to the land that inspired Joan Miró (south of Catalonia); and I love to spend many weekends in the Empordà, north of Catalonia, where Salvador Dalí was born. - Official Guide Licence, issued by the Catalan Government. - Bachelor's Degree in Art History, University of Barcelona ( I coursed the last year of the Degree at the University of Parma (Italy) ). - Postgraduate Degree in Communication and Design at Elisava Barcelona. - RASGO Red de Juderías de España (Network of Spanish Jewish quarters), Caminos de Sefarad certification. I don’t have any restriction. I am not a driver and any tour that includes transportation will be provided by a hired driver and vehicle.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

The sites of Antoni Gaudi like you never imagined. Details, stories and facts that will wow a first-time visitor and satiate the curiosity of those who have already been there before. Visit with me his top masterpieces: Park Güell inside, Sagrada Familia inside, Casa Milà outside and Casa Batlló outside. PARK GUELL – INSIDE SKIP THE LINES. A failed housing development that became the most colorful and fairy-tale like park in the city. SAGRADA FAMILIA – INSIDE SKIP THE LINES. A mind-blowing church like no other, that will be completed in the next few years after over a century of construction works. Learn what Gaudi did during this life and how he envisioned his masterpiece to be continued. CASA BATLLO & CASA MILA (La Pedrera) – OUTSIDE. Two unique apartment buildings that challenged the preconceived idea of what a building should look like.

Vanessa was a great guide for a Gaudi tour, showing us a number of his major works, ending with the amazing cathedral. She was happy to personalize the tour, and came up with perfect accommodations for our mobilty-impaired guest. A great way to see Gaidi architecture.

Vanessa was a wonderful tour guide for me and the four eighteen year old women I was traveling with. She kept the discussion informative and lively and was great fun to be with. She also did a great job handling the logistics of these crowded sites.

Our guide, Vanessa, was absolutely wonderful. Extremely pleasant, patient and knowledgeable. She pointed out many things that we would never have noticed or understood. She was able to guide us quickly and efficiently with virtually no lines anywhere. Highly rated!!! Elliot Jacobs MD
