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 in Barcelona with my husband and our three daughters, aged 20, 17, and 15 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. ANNA If you see that I don't have availability on the calendar, write to me anyway, and I'll try to find a gap in my schedule:) -Official Guide License (#1130) issued by the Catalan Government, granting access to skip the line at most monuments. -Bachelor's Degree in Tourism (Hospitality and Tourism) from CETT, University of Barcelona. -Bachelor's Degree in Social Education from the University of Barcelona. -Additional studies focused on landmarks such as Sagrada Familia, Sant Pau Hospital, and the history of Catalonia and Barcelona, with specialization in figures like Gaudí, Picasso, Miró, Catalan Modernism, and the avant-garde of the twentieth century. -Certificate of completion for the Montserrat 2026 course, organized by the University of Girona and the Monastery of Montserrat. -Advanced Certificates in English, French and German languages. -Member of Aguicat (Association of Licensed Tour Guides of Catalonia), ensuring professional standards and expertise. I don't drive in my tours, but I can arrange private transportation with a Premium car or van.

Anna P was such a great guide and fit for our family. We flew in that day from the states and were tired, but she went at our pace and showed us all the amazing walkable places in the city. She was so great with my kids and all around wealth of knowledge.

This was our first trip to Barcelona. Anna, our tour guide was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met, Anna was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about the city’s history and culture. We explored everything from Olde Town to hidden corners of the city that we never would have found on our own. What stood out most was how Anna brought every site to life with fascinating stories and local insights. She balanced history, humor, and fun perfectly, and was happy to tailor the pace to our interests. She even shared great restaurant and tapas bar recommendations for the previous night that made the rest of our trip unforgettable. If you’re visiting Barcelona, I can’t recommend Anna enough. She is professional, friendly, and truly dedicated to making sure you fall in love with the city.

We spent the day touring Barcelona with Anna. After a morning focused on Sagrada Familia; the afternoon was spent walking through the Born (the old) Quarter. We learned history, architecture, explored specialty shop I doubt we would have ever found on our own. An afternoon of just good fun including a quick lunch at a Mercado where the food was good, and prices very reasonable. We thoroughly enjoyed Anna’s company and highly recommend her as a guide.

Anna was fantastic! She showed us all of the wonderful history in Barcelona and when she realized that we were very interested in the culinary offerings she started to incorporate plenty of stops to try the amazing food offerings in Barcelona and dropped us off at a local wine and cheese bar at the end so we could enjoy some leisure time! A highlight for me was the stop at Casa Gispert - one of the oldest gourmet food stores in Barcelona!

Our tour through the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona was unforgettable, thanks to the incredible Anna. Friendly, thoughtful, and full of positive energy, she brought the history of the city to life in the most engaging way. Her knowledge was impressive, and every story she shared added depth, color, and charm to the winding streets and hidden corners we explored. Remarkably, she personally introduced us to people everywhere which cultivated a particularly intimate Barcelona experience for us. Anna’s passion for Barcelona is contagious—she tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and made us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. We walked away not only more informed, but inspired and uplifted. A true gem of a guide. Highly recommend!
