We had a great time having tapas with Francisco! He introduced us to foods we would not have known to try at a local family restaurant.

Hi !!. I'm Francisco M, experienced 100% local tour guide for private tours, only your group. Born and raised in Barcelona at the neighborhood of Gracia. 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. And obviously I can customize a tour with your preferences, click at my ♥ , so we do not miss each other (heart icon, on the top right corner in my profile) and send a message to let me know your likes and quickly will answer you back with the link to the best tour for you or a customize tour. To top it up, apart from my service as your local tour guide I will bring my camera to take pictures of you and your group from your visit in Barcelona and sends them to you as a keepsake at no extra cost. At the end of the tour I will help you to plan and what to see if you staying longer days in Barcelona. In my experience as a tour guide and in life made me understand that each person or group is unique and what is fast for ones is slow for others. One of my skills is to quickly get to know people and develop a fluid and open communication to understand their needs and adapt the tour to them. I can also address where to buy tickets NO WAITING LINES TICKETS on-line ahead the tour with no commissions. So feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.

Francisco was fantastic! Communication was easy and prompt prior to the tour. During the tour itself, Francisco was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He shared his insight and offered us suggestions on which tapas to try and a little bit about the background of the dishes and the drinks. He welcomed us to Barcelona and what the city has to offer. My wife and I highly recommend him, especially as a first orientation to the city. Thank you very much!

Great guide and tour! I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Francisco took us to some excellent spots to enjoy tapas and introduced us to lesser-known dishes that we might not have tried otherwise. He actively engaged in conversations with us, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Although we initially booked him for two hours, he generously spent extra time with us without any additional charge. We highly recommend his tour.
Mary S.United States
Francisco was most helpful during our tapas dinner and wine tasting. His restaurant selection and their food and service was most enjoyable. Francisco started the evening with focusing our food likes and dislikes. He encouraged many different selections and with our approval he ordered our diner and it was all delicious. We would recommend Francisco to our friends.
Roy T.United States
We did Private Tapas Tour and Experience All the Best of Barcelona with Francisco. Both were excellent! Francisco coached us (no push) into eating some tapas we wouldn't normally have ordered. All were wonderful as was the service and atmosphere. Next day we toured many interesting places in his car (very clean and comfortable) and had lunch at another great restaurant. He is very knowledgeable about Barcelona. Also adjusted the day to our interests. Highly recommended and pics were a nice touch.
