Hi! My name is Julie and I am a Licensed tour Guide in my city, Barcelona. I offer private tours that can be customized for you and your group according to your personal preferences. I consider myself a dynamic, proactive, and thoughtful guide. Besides focusing on History and Art, I like to give my tours a laid-back approach, telling stories, funny facts and anecdotes. I love traveling, nature, and learning from other cultures. I have been working in the Tourism industry for the last seventeen years. I have a bachelor's degree in languages from the University of Barcelona (UB). Twelve years ago I passed the exams to become an Official Tour Guide. I am a proud TOURSBYLOCALS tour guide for 7 years already! I have lived in five different countries and after spending some time in Australia, I established myself again in Barcelona 17 years ago. Currently, I live in Barcelona with my partner and my son. My city is a place to fall in love with. There are many spots in Barcelona not shown in guide books that will surprise you. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my tours. I will be pleased to assist you! I am very flexible so I can customize your tour according to your personal preferences. I am looking forward to showing you my city the way I know it: with its unique architecture, cheerful people, astonishing views, bustling shopping streets. . . and so much more! See you soon! - Licensed Tour Guide in Barcelona and Catalonia (Official License nr. 2868). - Bachelor's degree in English (University of Barcelona). - Member of the Professional Association of Licensed Tour Guides in Barcelona (AGUICAT) I do not drive while on tour. We can use public transport or taxis if needed. I can also arrange a private vehicle with a professional driver.

The ultimate must see in Barcelona
Overview of your Barcelona tour
If you ask me for things to do in Barcelona, I will tell you that number one out of all the attractions is SAGRADA FAMILIA. Who pays for the construction? When was it started? Will it ever be finished? Are they still following the original plans? So many questions will be answered within this 2 hours tour. Known as the Bible in stone, you will never be the same after visiting Sagrada Familia. Construction started in 1882. As a local, I have seen the progress in construction through the years. Personally, it is my favorite building in the whole world. I am amazed everyday seeing how it changes. Many describe it as jaw-dropping, others are moved, even cry of joy when they see the interior. Book today! We will skip the lines!

Jennifer G.United States
Julie was an absolute pleasure!! She had unbelievable knowledge about La Sagrada. The tour was so special as it was customized to our interests. Such a better experience than standing in line or doing the 'standard' pre-recorded tour. Julie also shared local knowledge, followed up with recommendations of places to go, and sent us a ton of pictures! I highly recommend Julie!!!
Jose E.United States
Julie was a treasure in showing us all the history and details on the Sagrada Familia. Very helpful and a joy to be with. Highly recommend Julie!!
Lauren T.United States
Julie provided our family of 5 with the most informative tour of The Sagrada Familia. She was so knowledgeable & was even able to keep our 3 young children (5, 7 & 10) completely engaged. They enjoyed the tour as much as did. Julie was even kind enough to send an email later in the day of our tour with photos of the construction that was taking place during our visit that the kids had questions about. I would highly recommend Julie as your tour guide for this can't miss attraction when visiting Barcelona.
Clarice G.United States
Julie G was beyond expectation. She is very personable and knowledgeable about Sagrada Familia and led us around and through the Sagrada in a very professional and personal way. We enjoyed her immensely. We would recommend her without hesitation. She was on time and found us without any problem after a quick description of what we were wearing. Her knowledge and history of the culture of Barcelona was amazing.
