Welcome to Barcelona, where I create private, tailor-made tours for curious travellers. I’m a licensed local guide who has always been inspired by art, history, and the landscapes of Catalonia. Growing up in a small medieval town surrounded by nature shaped my love for culture from an early age, and today, sharing that passion with travelers is one of my greatest joys. I’m curious, warm, and deeply connected to the stories that give each place its soul. I began my tourism studies in Barcelona, a city that quickly became my professional home, and later continued my training with an Erasmus program in Tuscany. Over the years, I’ve developed a special love for creating unique, author-style tours that go beyond the usual routes. From handcrafted cultural itineraries to bicycle and e-bike tours that help travelers enjoy the city in a relaxed and immersive way, I love designing experiences that feel personal, authentic, and full of character. I guide in Catalan, Spanish, and English, and I have a strong background in accessibility thanks to my earlier studies in occupational therapy at the university. I’ve also enriched my understanding of local wines through sommelier training and hands-on experience, which helps me introduce travelers to the wine culture and culinary traditions of Catalonia in a warm and approachable way. I would be delighted to welcome you and help you discover the magic of Barcelona and Catalonia. Whether you’re looking for history, food, architecture, landscapes, or a truly original experience, I’m here to create a personalized journey that feels warm, meaningful, and unforgettable. Looking forward to exploring together! - Red Cross first-aid certificate - Government licensed tour guide.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Discover one of the most extraordinary architectural works in the world: the basilica of Sagrada Família, designed by the genius architect Antoni Gaudí. This private experience focuses on understanding the history, symbolism, and unique vision behind this still-unfinished masterpiece. You will explore both the interior and exterior of the basilica, learning how every detail — from the soaring columns to the stained glass — is deeply connected to nature, faith, and geometry. During the visit, your guide will explain how Gaudí transformed a simple idea into one of the most iconic buildings in the world, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the symbol of Barcelona. This is not just a visit to a monument, but a deeper look into Gaudí’s mind, his inspiration, and the meaning behind his most ambitious project.
