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.
