***FULLY LICENSED TOUR GUIDE #2754 (since 2010) *** SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES Hi! I am Francesc. I was born in Barcelona when it was not a touristic city. Little by little the city became tourist and I went into this world (more than 25 years ago). Nowadays, I'm a guide and this is my full time job: I really enjoy doing it. I offer Private tours all over Barcelona and Catalonia (Montserrat, Cadaqués, Costa Brava, Dalí, etc). My clients say I am very passionate when I tour them. Well, I put myself in their shoes and I think: one trip sometimes is the result of a long time, maybe months or years preparing it. When you travel, you are going to an unexplored land, but you wish everything goes perfect: your flight, your hotel and, of course, your tour guide. I realize if you decide to take a tour guide it is because you think it's the best way to know this place. Therefore, my responsibility is huge in order to live up to your expectations. That's why I will do everything in my power to make your trip perfect. If you look for a more personal and enjoyable tour, just let yourself be amazed!!! ***FULLY LICENSED TOUR GUIDE #2754 (since 2010) *** SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES (see the license picture in my profile pictures) Member of the APIT Barcelona (Association of Professional Tourist Guides).

Savour the best selection of traditional food and feel flamenco's passion with your local guide!
Overview of your Barcelona tour
Do you know the expression 'good things come in small packages' ? Well, try Spanish finger food and a show! The best way to end your day! There's no better way to discover Spain than eating, and the way to enjoy it is certainly with a local, who shows you the places we go. So, don't let anyone to pull the wool over your eyes and try with a local the popular TAPAS (cold or hot Spanish appetizers including the iconic jamon ibérico) and Pintxos (a little sandwich that is served on a stick). The "cherry on the top" for this evening: A flamenco show, a dance traditionally from the south of Spain but due to historical reasons became very popular in Catalonia, the birthplace of the legendary flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya (she even danced for Roosevelt). You will meet Mimo, a relative of her, who will tell you the fascinating history of the family and will make you understand why flamenco is not just a dance but a way of life. Come and join me!

We had a fabulous tour with Francesc visiting many small places for tapas and ending with a Flamenco show. He has an amazing knowledge of the history and was a wonderful person. We had a little hiccup with the start time, but after that was straightened out the tour was great!

Fantastic tour!! I would recommend this outing to anyone going to Barcelona. We had a fabulous time and not only learned so much history but had fun doing it.
Maureen P.United States
This was customized to be a walking tour of Old Town Barcelona and visiting 2 (we declined a visit to a 3rd) tapas place. The historical significance of what we were seeing in Old Town was very beneficial - it deeper our understanding of the buildings we walked by. The tapas places were terrific experiences. We did not do the flamenco show as it would have kept us out too late that night. Felt we got a great experience without it:-)
Rd G.United States
We had the most amazing tour We always use ToursByLocals and we are never disappointed This tour was no exception
Your Barcelona tour itinerary
- 3 restaurants for "Tapas" and "Pinchos" in the Old Town: each day is different, usually some sodisficated and some more flat such as the Spanish ham. It is a good opportunity to taste our wine, vermouth and cava. All this passing by the Gothic Quarter; the Cathedral; the king's Palace; the Music Palace etc. - Poble Espanyol - A Flamenco place The itinerary can be adapted to traveller's interests: do not hesitate to contact me for a customized experience.

Meeting location
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
To make the most of our time, I recommend meeting at Plaça de Catalunya, right in the heart of Barcelona, in front of the Zurich Café — a very popular and easy-to-find spot. However, I’ll also be happy to pick you up at your hotel, apartment, or cruise ship terminal if you prefer.
- You can request a specific meeting location (for example, your hotel) during the checkout.
