I am a licensed official tourist guide in Barcelona with over 12 years of experience. I am an academic specialist in various fields, including art, archaeology, history, culinary arts, and anthropology and I am the owner of Guide Me Barcelona Tours. With Italian and Greek roots, I was drawn to Barcelona, where I went on to earn an MA in History & Cultural Heritage Management. Since 2015, I’ve been sharing my deep passion for the city by guiding visitors through Barcelona’s rich history and vibrant present. With a profound love for this extraordinary place, I guide guests on and beyond the typical tourist routes, offering immersive experiences that connect travelers with the authentic spirit of Barcelona and Catalonia. My tours are more than just sightseeing—they are engaging, insightful, and entertaining journeys that spark meaningful conversations about the world around us. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a food lover, an art aficionado, or simply seeking a genuine local adventure, I craft personalized experiences tailored to your interests, ensuring an unforgettable journey.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Visit the Sagrada Família with me on a focused 1.5-hour private tour that places the basilica within its historical context. As a historian, I’ll guide you through the story of the project, from its late 19th-century origins to its ongoing construction today, and the ideas that shaped Antoni Gaudí’s vision. Inside the church, we’ll explore how history, religion, and architecture come together through structure, light, and symbolism. We’ll look at how Gaudí translated complex ideas into architectural form, and how later generations have continued the project while remaining connected to his original intentions. The price of the tour includes entrance tickets, which I will purchase on your behalf in advance, so you can enjoy the visit without worrying about availability or logistics. This visit offers a clear and thoughtful way to experience the Sagrada Família, focusing on understanding the building as a historical work in progress and as one of the most ambitious architectural projects of modern times.
