***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

A Sanctuary that is more than a place of worship: it has always symbolized the identity of the Catalan people. Recently, I had the opportunity to know the Benedictine community that in 2025 celebrates the 1000 years of its foundation (today more than 50 monks!!!). It is a must to greet the Black Madonna, Patroness Saint of Catalonia. But it is not only a spiritual mountain, it is a natural reserve too; we will reach the top of the mountain by funicular, an experience in itself. Going hiking (optional) we will enjoy the magnificent views: the Pyrenees Mountains (border with France) and to admire the peculiar shapes of the rocks and peaks of Montserrat, which inspired Gaudí in its Sagrada Familia. It is a tradition to taste the typical home-made food at the Farmers' market like "Mel I Mató". Here you'll have the chance to try some traditional food and taste local savours! The abbey every day is full field by the angelical voices of the boys' choir, the oldest in Europe! Let's be delighted by them.

We had the absolute pleasure of going to Montserrat with Francisc! What a fantastic tour guide and all around great guy. He shared lots of good intimate details about what we were seeing and the symbolism of the culture all the way from the time he picked us up until we were dropped back off again and all the way through our time at Montserrat. His knowledge is unparalleled and his kindness shines through at every turn. He was great with our 9yo and 14yo boys and kept them engaged. He timed our visit perfectly so that we had front row seats at the boys choir. It was very memorable and I cannot recommend this tour and tour guide enough.

Our day trip to Montserrat with Francesc was outstanding. He picked us up at our hotel and guided us through the history, culture, and significance of Montserrat in a way that made the experience truly meaningful. More than just a stunning mountain sanctuary, Montserrat is deeply connected to the identity of the Catalan people, and Francesc brought that story to life. When we learned that the boys' choir was away on tour, Francesc didn't miss a beat. He thoughtfully adapted the day and took us to an incredible Gaudí church in a small town on the way back to Barcelona—an unexpected highlight we would never have discovered on our own. Knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with, Francesc made this a very memorable experience!

Francesc is an outstanding guide and a genuinely wonderful person. In two days, he gave us an engaging, insider’s look at Montserrat, Sagrada Família, and Park Güell. Every doorman, guard, attendant, and fellow guide in Barcelona seems to know and respect him, which means smooth entrances and no waiting. His warm, conversational style made the experience unforgettable. We’ll definitely book with him again.

Our day with Francesc exploring Montserrat was unforgettable! Starting with the pick up from Barcelona's cruise port, he shared his deep knowledge and passion for Catalonia’s history and culture with warmth, humor, and genuine pride. From the majestic mountains and serene monastery to the breathtaking cathedral and boys’ choir, every moment was special and Francesc brought each part to life with insights only a true local could share. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Barcelona!
