I am Marga and I am a *OFFICIAL LICENSED GUIDE*. I was born in Barcelona where I was graduaded of Tourism. I have always loved my city and felt proud of it, My decision of becoming a guide was due to my desire of sharing Barcelona and the way I feel it with others. I have been working as official guide in Barcelona for over 15 years. I lead tours in four different languages: English, Italian, Catalan and Spanish. My main aim is help people discover the art and history of Barcelona and Catalonia in an enjoyable way. I love my city, Barcelona, and I love my work. I use that passion to make a guided tour a memorable experience. In my tours I don't just spout cliches. On the contrary, I really do try to share our culture and way of life with you as best I can, helping you tune in to the best vibes of this wonderful place, Barcelona. I try to make my tours in an entertaining, amusing and interesting way - all at the same time. I aim to give you an experience that will touch your soul, because I want you to keep Barcelona in your heart. I am a mother of two girls and I love giving tours for families with kids. I was licensed in 1999 after finishing University Studies in Barcelona. Degree in Tourism. I have taken different lessons on art, history at the University of Barcelona and Museum of History of Barcelona. I have lived in San Francisco and Sydney for long periods of time.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

On this tour we will learn about Barcelona's urban development at the end of the 19th Century in Eixample Quarter and the work of the great architect Antoni Gaudí, and his main works that reveal the creativity and the genius of a universal Catalan. Gaudí used to say: "My school is nature and my teacher is God", a statement that becomes basic to understand his very unique architecture. Visiting Sagrada Família and Park Güell is one of the best experiences you can live in Barcelona. The architect accepted his comissions under one important condition that was working with freedom and not accepting commands or conventions. Many times he had to face certain difficulties and obstacles, he was not understood and many time was critized. However this freedom he enjoyed and used marks today his amazing works.

We had an incredible afternoon with Marga and I would recommend this tour to anyone. Not only was Marga extremely knowledgeable about Gaudi's architecture and his different projects around Barcelona, she was a pleasure to be around. The highlight of the tour was definitely La Sagrada Familia, especially the inside. It is simply breathtaking and a must see. Thank you to Marga for such a wonderful afternoon. You made our visit to Barcelona special.

We were privileged to be accompanied by Marga on a private tour taking in Park Guell, Sagrada Familia and several of Gaudi ‘s domestic houses. We soon felt as though we’d met up with an old friend for this adventure and we thoroughly enjoyed our tours. Marga is knowledgeable and passionate and although she must do similar tours we felt that she was just as delighted as us to visit these wonderful landmarks. Definitely recommend using Tours by Locals and asking for Marga. Our tour with her has been a highlight of our time here in Barcelona.

This is an excellent tour taking in some of the sights and sounds of the x area and all the key Gaudi expereinces which are truly amazing, especially the astounding Segrada Familia. Marga is an extremely knowledgeable guide who shares her knowledge in a very relaxed and friendly way. We can strongly recommend this tour.
