A traveler too that visited Europe, North America, Mexico, Belize, North Africa, Thailand, Bali, Philippines, Vietnam, Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Turkey, Egypt. I understand the effort that takes to put together a trip, mentally and economic. One of the things I always looking for when travelling is to be treat like a local, mingle with the locals to have a local experience and above all, honesty. Sharp on the details to spot many things that the naked eye tends to miss. I will be showing you my beautiful city and explaining the history of the neighborhoods, giving you a lot of information of the sights, buildings and their artists/architects/engineers. I have city tours and tours outside Barcelona with private car, with VIP Mercedes Van, VIP Minibus and walking tours that range from 2 to 8 hours where we can visit Antoni Gaudi sites like Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila (La Pedrera), Roman, Gothic quarter, La Rambla, Boqueria Market, Montserrat, Gerona, Costa Brava, Sitges, Tarragona, Dali museum at Figueras and the Penedes region for the wineries/cellars for cava.
