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". Official Guide License (number 3029), issued by the Autonomous Government of Catalonia Degree in Tourism Information and Marketing Member of AGUICAT (Professional licensed tour guides Association of Catalonia). I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Passeig the Gràcia has been, since its origin, the most prestigious avenue in Barcelona, and that's why the bourgeoisie of the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th wanted to have their residence there. The boom of the textile industry allowed them to hire the most renowned architects of those days, and La Pedrera is a perfect example. It’s a masterpiece of modern total design but became a headache for both the creator and the clients. The rooftop holds intriguing chimneys and ventilation towers. This was the last building that he designed before focusing exclusively in Sagrada Família.
