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.

Our group of 8 had a fantastic day with Anna touring Sagrada Familia. She is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who really made our visit special.
Anna, our guide for the Sagrada Familia tour was absolutely fantastic! This was our first trip to Barcelona. We kicked it off in grand fashion with the Sagrada Familia our first destination. From the moment we met Anna, we explored everything about the Sagrada Familia from its history to hidden corners of the complex that we never would have found or appreciated on our own. Anna is extremely well versed in all aspects of Sagrada Familia. Down to the detail of what time we should take our tour to best appreciate how the sunlight illuminates the inside of the cathedral. If you’re visiting Barcelona, I'm sure the Sagrada Familia will be on your list. I can’t recommend Anna enough — professional, friendly, and truly dedicated.
Anna couldn't have been better! We so enjoyed our visit to the Sagrada Familia. What a spectacular church, brought to life by Anna. She is a very pleasant, patient and very knowledgeable guide. We couldn't have been more pleased.
Sagrada Familia is more incredible than you've heard. It may be tempting to do it on your own but having a guide enhances the experience so much! We were so glad we booked this and didn't just do it on our own. Anna was a great guide and it was even better that she had gotten to know us a bit the day before on another tour we booked (Food and Tapas). She really helped us understand the building, what Gaudi was trying to accomplish and pointed out all the little details you are unlikely to catch on your own. She adapted the tour for our family of 6 (4 teens/tweens) and left us with an awesome restaurant recommendation. Highly recommend having a tour of Sagrada Familia and Anna is the best!
Anna was excellent and efficient. We really enjoyed our time with her!
