*** LICENSED PRIVATE TOUR GUIDE # 758 SINCE 1994 of Barcelona and Catalonia Region *** USE OF VISUAL AID *** Born and raised in Barcelona city. It was in 1994 when I did my first guided tour and I still remember it, since then it has been my full-time job and I LOVE IT! Before becoming a Tour Guide, I worked in other tourism related businesses including travel agencies, hotels as well as in other positions at both national and multinational companies. Some of my hobbies include hiking, diving, cycling, cooking and also traveling. One of my passions is photography so when you come, I could take good photos of you! My love for nature and seeking adventure, has taken me to over 50 countries around the world. I consider myself accommodating, flexible, personable and fun to be with. When you visit us, you will learn a lot about the visited sites, the history, culture, traditions, gastronomy and also where the locals go. If you wish, I will also recommend you the best "Tapas" and paella restaurants, shopping areas and much more. . . Would you like to save time and see as much as possible? With me, you will "SKIP THE LINE" to all the visited sites, museums and monuments. My clients range from couples, friends, families with children, to seniors…and also larger parties. As your local expert, I know that travelers have different needs, so I can also suggest a TAILOR-MADE tour for your party. Contact me if you have any doubts or questions to ask to make the most of your time in Barcelona. See you soon and remember that all the TOURS ARE ALWAYS PRIVATE, ONLY FOR YOU! Only Official Guides are allowed to give explanations in museums and monuments. In addition you can avoid lines! - US High School diploma - Degree in Tourism - Member of: CEFAPIT (Spanish Confederation of Tour Guides) FEG (European Federation of Tour Guides) WFTGA (World Federation of Tour Guides) - Advanced Open Water Dive Certificate (PADI) - Coastal Skipper Sailing Certificate (PER) I am not driving when guiding but for your comfort I can arrange for a car or mini van with a professional driver for tours in which the vehicle is not included.

Overview of your Barcelona tour
The Sagrada Familia, one of the most magnificent churches in the world. This amazing creation comes from the mind of the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. As I will explain you, the church is still a work in progress even though construction began in 1882. When Gaudi died in 1926 it was only about 20 per cent complete and ever since, work has been a slow process. Before we enter the Basilica, I will give you some external explanations. With the use of my visual aids, I will show you amazing pictures of the beginning of the construction but also of the completed church. Once we enter, you will be amazed by the stained glass that brings the building to life and the columns of the church that are designed to look like trees and branches. The guided visit to the Museum and Gaudi's tomb is included. TOURS FOR 2026 might have an extra charge if tickets increase the price. To be paid in cash on the day of the tour

If you plan to visit the Sagrada Familia, a private tour with Mar is the absolute best way to do it! Starting with the great photo opportunities from a park just across from Sagrada, to the end of our time with Mara it was a fabulous tour without the crowds.

Mar R was our tour guide for the Sagrada Familia this afternoon. She did an awesome job and I will definitely refer family & friends to her.
