***FULLY LICENSED TOUR GUIDE #2754 (since 2010) *** SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES Hi! I am Francesc. I was born in Barcelona when it was not a touristic city. Little by little the city became tourist and I went into this world (more than 25 years ago). Nowadays, I'm a guide and this is my full time job: I really enjoy doing it. I offer Private tours all over Barcelona and Catalonia (Montserrat, Cadaqués, Costa Brava, Dalí, etc). My clients say I am very passionate when I tour them. Well, I put myself in their shoes and I think: one trip sometimes is the result of a long time, maybe months or years preparing it. When you travel, you are going to an unexplored land, but you wish everything goes perfect: your flight, your hotel and, of course, your tour guide. I realize if you decide to take a tour guide it is because you think it's the best way to know this place. Therefore, my responsibility is huge in order to live up to your expectations. That's why I will do everything in my power to make your trip perfect. If you look for a more personal and enjoyable tour, just let yourself be amazed!!! ***FULLY LICENSED TOUR GUIDE #2754 (since 2010) *** SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES (see the license picture in my profile pictures) Member of the APIT Barcelona (Association of Professional Tourist Guides).

Overview of your Barcelona tour

What is the background of Barcelona that has made of it the Modern city that it is? The Old Town tells us the history of the city that was the capital of the most important military navy in the Mediterranean. History and anecdotes will make Magic this part of the city: a walk in the Rambla, the avenue where things happened; to go into a food Market that began in the twelve hundred; a time when the Cathedral represented the power of the economy; a city that hosted the biggest Jewish community in the Iberian Peninsula; and the Roman Temple will tell us who and why founded the city. Halfway through the tour it is a must to stop to taste the "Suïs", hot chocolate with cream and churros, in one of the historic hot chocolate stores.

Meeting location

Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

To make the most of our time, I recommend meeting at Plaça de Catalunya, right in the heart of Barcelona, in front of the Zurich Café — a very popular and easy-to-find spot. However, I’ll also be happy to pick you up at your hotel, apartment, or cruise ship terminal if you prefer.

  • You can request a specific meeting location (for example, your hotel) during the checkout.
