Hi, my name is Cayetano. I am a licensed guide from Barcelona, born and raised here. I have been working in the hospitality and tourism for almost 27 years, mainly in hotels and tour companies in Spain, South East Asia and the United States. Twelve years ago I decided to become a professional tour guide and passed the exams that allow me to work as a licensed tour guide not only in Barcelona but also in Catalonia. I hold a bachelor's degree in Art History and a second bachelor's degree in Business (Hospitality and Tourism). This solid background allows me to deliver a top notch service and exceed the expectations of my clients. I love my job, I love my hometown Barcelona and I love my country, Catalonia. It is always a pleasure to share my knowledge about my country and my hometown with visitors coming from all around the world. I would like to be your host during your stay in Barcelona, please feel free to write me if you have any question about my the tours posted on ToursByLocals or if you don't find on my site what you are looking for. I look forward to seeing you soon in Barcelona!!! -Official Guide License, issued by the Catalan Government -Bachelor's Degree in Art History, University of Barcelona -Bachelor's Degree in Business (Hospitality and Tourism), CETT, University of Barcelona -MBA, EAE Business School, Barcelona -Member of AGUICAT (Professional licensed tour guides Association of Catalonia). -Private Pilot License (PPL) My tours are always private tours for you and you party only. I am not a professional driver but all the walking tours can be enhanced with private transportation and a professional driver or other services. Flexibility is a must.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

"We have given this academic title either to a fool or a genius. Time will show. " - Elies Rogent, director of Barcelona Architecture School Barcelona wouldn't be the same without Gaudi's buildings. We will walk and discover Gaudi's personality and his key buildings. We will also talk about the bustling Barcelona of the turn of the century and the patrons who hired Gaudi and the other Art Nouveau architects for the construction of those spectacular Palaces and apartment buildings. This is one of my favorite tours in Barcelona and a great way to experience how the local bourgeoisie lived in one of the most exciting periods in the history of Barcelona: the years of the Industrial Revolution and the construction of the "Eixample" district or New Barcelona.

Cayetano was fantastic! He provided such a great overview of Barcelona, its history, and brought it to life through architecture with a focus on Gaudi. His tour of the Sagrada Família was a standout of the day, as Cayetano pointed out so many details we would’ve missed on our own. This was a day well spent and I’d highly recommend Cayetano! Thanks for such a great welcome to your city.

Cayetano V was an excellent tour guide. He was interested in providing us with an exceptional experience through his knowledge and sensitivity to weather conditions (heat!) and we found he made us aware of the small details one probably wouldn't get in a big tour group or general tour. Our small group found him engaging, entertaining, professional and personable. Five star rating and highly recommended. When we are in Barcelona next time, we won't hesitate to re-book him!

I have used ToursByLocals around the world and Cayetano was one of the best guides I have used. His knowledge of Barcelona and Gaudi are amazing and helpful. He was very flexible to adapt the tour to our preferences and priorities. He is a solid professional and I plan to use him again for a future tour.

Do yourself a favor and learn about Gaudi while on Cayetano's tour! Cayetano has been doing tours of Barcelona for a long time and it shows. He was able to tailor the tour to our interests right away. He is a great guide and we could not recommend him enough!

A very special thank you to Cayetano, he was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of the city of Barcelona and Gaudi. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guided tour while they are in Barcelona.
