*** LICENSED PRIVATE TOUR GUIDE # 758 SINCE 1994 of Barcelona and Catalonia Region *** USE OF VISUAL AID *** Born and raised in Barcelona city. It was in 1994 when I did my first guided tour and I still remember it, since then it has been my full-time job and I LOVE IT! Before becoming a Tour Guide, I worked in other tourism related businesses including travel agencies, hotels as well as in other positions at both national and multinational companies.   Some of my hobbies include hiking, diving, cycling, cooking and also traveling. One of my passions is photography so when you come, I could take good photos of you! My love for nature and seeking adventure, has taken me to over 50 countries around the world.   I consider myself accommodating, flexible, personable and fun to be with. When you visit us, you will learn a lot about the visited sites, the history, culture, traditions, gastronomy and also where the locals go. If you wish, I will also recommend you the best "Tapas" and paella restaurants, shopping areas and much more. . . Would you like to save time and see as much as possible? With me, you will "SKIP THE LINE" to all the visited sites, museums and monuments. My clients range from couples, friends, families with children, to seniors…and also larger parties. As your local expert, I know that travelers have different needs, so I can also suggest a TAILOR-MADE tour for your party. Contact me if you have any doubts or questions to ask to make the most of your time in Barcelona. See you soon and remember that all the TOURS ARE ALWAYS PRIVATE, ONLY FOR YOU! Only Official Guides are allowed to give explanations in museums and monuments. In addition you can avoid lines! - US High School diploma - Degree in Tourism - Member of: CEFAPIT (Spanish Confederation of Tour Guides) FEG (European Federation of Tour Guides) WFTGA (World Federation of Tour Guides) - Advanced Open Water Dive Certificate (PADI) - Coastal Skipper Sailing Certificate (PER) I am not driving when guiding but for your comfort I can arrange for a car or mini van with a professional driver for tours in which the vehicle is not included.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

We will discover the Gaudi's most visited works together! At the Passeig de Gracia avenue , where some of the most representative Modernist houses are located, I will explain you lots of stories and anecdotes of the BATLLO and MILA houses built by the architect. Your day will continue with the INSIDE visit to the PARK GUELL. Located in the upper area of the city, this park is a perfect combination between nature and the construction of men. It was built between 1900 and 1914 and the original project was a construction of a residential park of sixty single-family residences. We will also visit the INSIDE The SAGRADA FAMILIA Basilica. One of my clients said "I fell in love with Gaudi's style over a decade ago on my first trip to Barcelona, so it was with great joy that I returned to the Sagrada Familia to see how much it had changed since I first saw it". ALL TICKETS are INCLUDED

Mar R was exceptional. She was punctual, knowledgeable, considerate of any needs which we had, and very courteous. The two tours which we had with her, the old city of Barcelona and the Gaudi tour were perfect for our two day stay in Barcelona, one each day. Each day she met us at our hotel, arriving early for each tour. She kept a good pace and frequently checked with us on our requirements and well being. She was very fluent in English, easy to understand, and frequently confirmed our understanding of her explanations.

We’d like to highly recommend Mar as a tour guide in Barcelona, or probably most anywhere she is familiar with. Her attention to detail, knowledge from experience, and insight to all aspects about Gaudi and related topics was exemplary and informative. She has spent most of her life as an experienced tour guide and is easy-going and fun to be around. We were sorry when the tour was over but were lucky enough to have her join us for tapas afterwards. Mar has earned our highest marks as a guide and all-around fun person. Brad

My wife and I had the pleasure of touring Gaudí’s incredible works in Barcelona with Mar, and we could not have asked for a better guide. Born and raised in the area, Mar brought a unique local perspective that made the experience even more meaningful. Her fun, laid-back style and quick wit kept the tour engaging from start to finish, while her extensive knowledge of Gaudí’s architecture, vision, and influence on Barcelona was truly impressive. What stood out most was her genuine passion for the subject matter—it’s clear that she loves sharing these remarkable works with others, and her enthusiasm is contagious. Mar made complex artistic and architectural concepts easy to understand and appreciate, helping us see details we would have completely missed on our own. She struck the perfect balance between education and entertainment, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend Mar to anyone visiting Barcelona and wanting a deeper appreciation of Gaudí’s masterpieces. She turned a great sightseeing experience into one of the highlights of our trip.

This was a very good tour with Mar. The Sagrada was the star and I could've spent the entire tour there. The skip the line tickets here were a God send as we skipped a 2 hour cue and went right in!
