David was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. He brought along his tablet and pictures for some explanations. He suggested 230p for the best viewing of colors in the Sagrada Familia…a most memorable site.

Licensed Tour Guide in Love with Barcelona. Let me show you why! Hello! My name is David. I was born in Andalusia and hold a degree in tourism, along with extensive experience in hospitality, where I learned to understand, meet, and exceed the needs and expectations of my guests. In 2015, I happened to give a three-day tour and discovered that I enjoyed showcasing everything I love about Barcelona. Following this, I obtained official accreditation as a tour guide. Since then, I have continued to educate myself, learning more and more about the beautiful places we can find in Barcelona and the rest of Catalonia. I offer a variety of city tours, shore excursions, day-outs of town, and customized tours. Just choose the one that suits you best or let me know what you'd like to see and do! People ask me if I ever get tired of always guiding the "same tours. " The answer is always NO. Even if they often run at the same places, the experience is entirely different because each tour is unique and adapted to you. My guests have always appreciated my enthusiasm when I work. Honestly, for me, it does not feel like a job, it's a genuine passion. My children refer to the Sagrada Familia as "Daddy's office. " I consider myself truly fortunate. I am excited about every new tour, meeting you, and conveying all the passion I feel for the places we are going to visit. Feel free to ask me any questions or concerns before or during our tour. My goal is that you fully enjoy it. And also. . . I love gastronomy and have a good list of recommended restaurants for you where we can share a meal while we are touring, or you can enjoy it on your own. I will happily take pictures of you, I know many good spots. People say I'm not bad at all! Let me guide you to live an unforgettable 5⭐ experience. - Official Licensed Tour Guide of Barcelona and Catalonia.

Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece, inside tour with tickets included!
Overview of your Barcelona tour
Undoubtedly, the most iconic and sought-after gem of Barcelona awaits you. Once the most visited monument in Spain, with over 4. 5 million annual visitors, worry not - with me, you'll breeze past any queues, ensuring you make the most of your time! Spanning over 140 years of construction, this architectural marvel, though still incomplete, remains an absolute essential on any Barcelona itinerary. Prepare to delve into the captivating history behind this extraordinary church, crafted by the visionary Antoni Gaudí. As you gaze upon its soaring vaults, reaching over 200 feet high, let me share a fascinating tidbit: Gaudí wasn't the initial architect. Fortuitously stepping in to replace his predecessor, he revolutionized the project, transforming it from a conventional church into a masterpiece of unparalleled beauty. Clothing restrictions: No see-through clothing Tops must cover the shoulders No plunging necklines, exposed backs, or bellies Shorts and skirts must come down to at least mid-thigh

This was a much sought after tour and being so famous it was a must see. David was a little late but he showed us all the important parts of the tour and made up the time with us by staying on a little longer. It was very interesting.
Amy F.United States
Our tour with David C of La Sagrada familia was wonderful. His passion for the subject was obvious, and his knowledge of art, history, and architecture was immense. He also knew all of the best places for special photos at the church. I would highly recommend a tour with David. It was very memorable.

David led our family through an excellent tour of Sagrada Familia. He was very knowledgeable, engaging, and responsive. I especially liked his use of an iPad to review additional pictures and explanations. Highly recommended.
