Hi, my name is Cayetano. I am a licensed guide from Barcelona, born and raised here. I have been working in the hospitality and tourism for almost 27 years, mainly in hotels and tour companies in Spain, South East Asia and the United States. Twelve years ago I decided to become a professional tour guide and passed the exams that allow me to work as a licensed tour guide not only in Barcelona but also in Catalonia. I hold a bachelor's degree in Art History and a second bachelor's degree in Business (Hospitality and Tourism). This solid background allows me to deliver a top notch service and exceed the expectations of my clients. I love my job, I love my hometown Barcelona and I love my country, Catalonia. It is always a pleasure to share my knowledge about my country and my hometown with visitors coming from all around the world. I would like to be your host during your stay in Barcelona, please feel free to write me if you have any question about my the tours posted on ToursByLocals or if you don't find on my site what you are looking for. I look forward to seeing you soon in Barcelona!!! -Official Guide License, issued by the Catalan Government -Bachelor's Degree in Art History, University of Barcelona -Bachelor's Degree in Business (Hospitality and Tourism), CETT, University of Barcelona -MBA, EAE Business School, Barcelona -Member of AGUICAT (Professional licensed tour guides Association of Catalonia). -Private Pilot License (PPL) My tours are always private tours for you and you party only.

Discover the splendor of a big capital city with a private guide
Overview of your Barcelona tour
This is a walk through 1500 years of the history of Barcelona and its key places. From Roman Barcino to the splendor of the Kingdom of Aragon and Catalunya that dominated the Mediterranean sea between the XII and XIV centuries. During this 4 hour walking tour we will explore the narrow and winding alleys that compose the medieval part of Barcelona. Those streets and alleys were not built to be driven by cars so the best way to explore this section of the city is on foot. We will see palaces, romanesque churches built more than one thousand years ago, the XIV century Barcelona's cathedral with its cloister and We will walk through the old jewish quarter. We don't have to forget about the roman remains: tombs, remains of the old wall and the temple dedicated to Augustus.

Cayetano V was an excellent guide in Barcelona for my clients a multi generation family. They were late getting to the hotel due to EES yet he managed to get them to Sagrada Familia on time. His knowledge of Barcelona, Gaudi and Sagrada Familia was very thorough and they appreciated his enthusiasm would recommend.

Craig T.New Zealand
The tour was excellent. Cayetano did a great job in giving meaning and understanding to what we saw of the Gothic quarter and it's treasures. He is warm, knowlegable and good fun. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Michael W.United States
Great tour exploring the Roman and Medieval side of Barcelona with our knowledgable guide Cayetano. With our limited time available to explore the city, he shared so much within the walls of the Old City on the areas of our interest this time. We knew we had to return before our tour just to explore more of the city, but knowing a resource like Cayetano could be available when next we vist reinforces it. Thanks so much!
Karen M.United States
My husband & I had a wonderful four hour walking tour of the Gothic quarter with Cayetano. His knowledge of the history of Barcelona was phenomenal. He took his time at different spots to explain architectural features or stories related to what we were seeing. It was a relaxed tour & we didn’t feel rushed. We were so glad to have him show us around his beautiful city, which he clearly loves.
