Greetings, travelers! I'm Jaime, your licensed tour guide in Barcelona. Before we meet in "La Ciutat Comtal" ("the City of the Counts", another way to call it Barcelona), I can tell you a bit about myself. I have been working as a tour guide since 2018, welcoming private groups and larger groups as well. Even though I was born in Colombia, I fell in love with the city when I used to come to visit my dad's family during the Christmas holidays. As you can see, my father and I have traded places. He is still enjoying living in "La Ciudad de la Eterna Primavera" (in this case is Medellin, yet another nickname. By the way, what's the one for your hometown?). Before discovering my passion for guiding, I worked in an airline, the hospitality industry, and education for more than 20 years in Paris, Barcelona, and Seoul. It seems that in my DNA there are genes leading me to expand thresholds and share my passion for culture, history, and language. Barcelona is a city that has a lot to offer: history, art, gastronomy, traditions, secrets, and much more. And from here, you can reach interesting places in Catalonia, such as Montserrat, the Costa Brava, and important vineyards. I will be more than happy to help you discover, or rediscover, the city, creating together an experience according to your interests and expectations. We can go for the highlights of the city, aiming for Antoni Gaudi (7 of his projects are UNESCO world heritage sites), the Gothic Quarter (gothic?), Montjuïc and its Olympic Park, different Art Nouveau sites, and finding out why there is a Picasso Museum in Barcelona. I remain at your disposal to start tailoring your trip to "La Ciutat Comtal".

This is the way to visit and see the most important places in Barcelona. Let's cover these miles in a comfortable van, get off and walk to see those special details, and take memorable photos, of course. We will find out how the city has been transformed over the centuries thanks to important events such as the 1992 Olympic Games, the 1888 Universal Exhibition, and the 1929 International Exhibition. Events whose venues are landmarks nowadays: Montjuïc, the water front, the Citadel Park and its surroundings. El Modernisme, the Art Nouveau in Catalonia, is well represented along the fanciest boulevard in town: Passeig de Gràcia. Of course, we will check how the construction of Sagrada Família is going.
