Hi! My name is Julie and I am a Licensed tour Guide in my city, Barcelona. I offer private tours that can be customized for you and your group according to your personal preferences. I consider myself a dynamic, proactive, and thoughtful guide. Besides focusing on History and Art, I like to give my tours a laid-back approach, telling stories, funny facts and anecdotes. I love traveling, nature, and learning from other cultures. I have been working in the Tourism industry for the last seventeen years. I have a bachelor's degree in languages from the University of Barcelona (UB). Twelve years ago I passed the exams to become an Official Tour Guide. I am a proud TOURSBYLOCALS tour guide for 7 years already! I have lived in five different countries and after spending some time in Australia, I established myself again in Barcelona 17 years ago. Currently, I live in Barcelona with my partner and my son. My city is a place to fall in love with. There are many spots in Barcelona not shown in guide books that will surprise you. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my tours. I will be pleased to assist you! I am very flexible so I can customize your tour according to your personal preferences. I am looking forward to showing you my city the way I know it: with its unique architecture, cheerful people, astonishing views, bustling shopping streets. . . and so much more! See you soon! - Licensed Tour Guide in Barcelona and Catalonia (Official License nr. 2868). - Bachelor's degree in English (University of Barcelona). - Member of the Professional Association of Licensed Tour Guides in Barcelona (AGUICAT) I do not drive while on tour. We can use public transport or taxis if needed. I can also arrange a private vehicle with a professional driver.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

The Latin language was brought over by the Romans to Barcelona more than 2000 years ago. That's why we speak Spanish! :) We will travel back in time to the origins of Barcelona and also discover the remains of the splendorous Medieval capital this city was back in the Middle Ages. We will learn the reason why we call the city center the Gothic quarter Barcelona. Together, we will visit the interior of Barcelona's Cathedral, which dates back to the 14th century. (Please note: This is not Sagrada Familia). This 14th Century Cathedral is named after the Christian martir Saint Eulalia. Inside the Cathedral, an elevator will take us to the rooftop. From there, we will enjoy a 360º view over Barcelona.
