My name is Anna, and I was born and raised in Barcelona. I work as an officially licensed tour guide, primarily in English, but also in French, Spanish, and Catalan, my mother language. I hold a university degree in Tourism from the University of Barcelona and have lived in the UK, France, and Germany. I live with my husband and our three daughters (19,16,14) in the quiet district of Sant Gervasi in Barcelona. I previously worked at the official Spanish Tourism Office in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), where I was responsible for promoting Catalan tourism. I organized trips for travel agents and German journalists to various tourist destinations in Catalonia, such as the Costa Brava, the Pyrenees, and Barcelona. I also worked on the organization of an important cultural event that took place in Barcelona in 2004, the Universal Forum of Cultures. It hosted more than 3 million people during its 141-day duration. In 2014, I had the brilliant idea to combine my knowledge and passion for art, culture, and the city of Barcelona with my love for interacting with people by becoming a local guide. Being a tour guide is an enjoyable challenge; I continuously participate in programs to deepen my knowledge of history, art, and culture, staying updated on everything happening in the city, including cultural events, exhibitions, and the latest bars, restaurants, and concerts. I invite you to discover the different faces of Barcelona through my tours. Each district has its own unique character that deserves to be explored: from Gràcia, Montjuïc, Gothic quarter to the Eixample. If you’ve already been to Barcelona and would like to rediscover it, choose the tour that appeals to you the most. Since every person or group has unique interests, I customize my tours and explanations accordingly. Only licensed guides are allowed to give explanations inside museums and monuments, and we can skip the museum entrance lines. I look forward to sharing my city, its surroundings, and the rich Catalan culture with you. ANNA If you see that I don't have availability on the calendar, write to me anyway, and I'll try to find a gap in my schedule:) -Official Guide License (#1130) issued by the Catalan Government, granting access to skip the line at most monuments. -Bachelor's Degree in Tourism (Hospitality and Tourism) from CETT, University of Barcelona. -Bachelor's Degree in Social Education from the University of Barcelona. -Additional studies focused on landmarks such as Sagrada Familia, Sant Pau Hospital, and the history of Catalonia and Barcelona, with specialization in figures like Gaudí, Picasso, Miró, Catalan Modernism, and the avant-garde of the twentieth century. -Certificate of completion for the Montserrat 2026 course, organized by the University of Girona and the Monastery of Montserrat. -Advanced Certificates in English, French and German languages. -Member of Aguicat (Association of Licensed Tour Guides of Catalonia), ensuring professional standards and expertise. I don't drive in my tours, but I can arrange private transportation with a Premium car or van.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

I'll keep you engage throughout the whole tour even during the hour long drive to/from the Basilica Montserrat. I will discuss with you many topics about Spain/Catalonia current and historical. I will meet you with a private driver and drop you off at the location of your choice. Montserrat, located 50 minutes away from Barcelona, is one of the most ancient Abbeys of Europe and a historic Natural Park. With its amazing forms it has become one of the most unique in the world. Besides nature, we will enjoy a visit inside the Basilica of the Abbey, that keeps the shrine of La Moreneta (the black Madonna) a wood carving image from the XII century, the patroness saint of Catalonia. If you like hiking, I propose you an interesting itinerary on the mountain, which will show you the richness and singularity of this spot. You don’t need to worry about tickets for the Basilica, as it is included in the price of this tour.

Your Barcelona tour itinerary

- Pick up from your accommodation or near port terminal - We'll take the highway, a great opportunity of seeing the Catalan countryside, to Montserrat (30 miles from Barcelona or 55 minutes). - Visit inside the Basilica where we will venerate the black Madonna - People (especially kids!!) love riding the Montserrat's famous cable car (Sant Joan). It can be a thrilling adventure in itself (optional) - Audiovisual show (15 minutes/optional) - Art Museum (optional) - Drop off at your accommodation or near the port terminal *In order to see the boy's choir starting at 1 pm, we should start the tour at 9. 30AM This year, 2026, I completed the Certificate of Completion for the Montserrat 2026 course, organized by the University of Girona and the Monastery of Montserrat. This allows me to share with you everything I have learned and more from this course, which took place in Montserrat and lasted 10 intensive days (60 hours).
