Hello! Nice to meet you:) I am Montse and I'm a licensed local guide in Barcelona and Catalunya. I am a graduate in Audiovisual Communication and I also have a Master in script writing. For many years I have been combining Tourism work with the performing arts, cinema and theatre . This two areas which would appear to be unconnected have actually made me the kind of guide I am. You will be able to discover the city as if you were watching a film. We can include visual poetry and narrative in the way we walk around the city! Fall in love with Barcelona and Catalonia! I can show you the popular venus, the hidden gems and the quiet places where we locals go. On foot, by bike or with our own driver. I am interested in art, history and culture in general and I am constantly updating. Tell me what interests you and I can design a tailored made tour which will give you a truly great experience. -Official Guide License, issued by the Catalan Government. That means I can explain inside the monuments and skip the line in most of the monuments. -Experience as a private guide since 2014 -Experience coordinating tours and logistics for international football academies and school groups, including children and teenagers since 2017. -Official Guide License, issued by the Balearic Islands Government -Bachelor's Degree in Audiovisual Communication, University Pompeu Fabra -MA in Screenwriting, University of Barcelona -Semester in Communication Studies in Roskilde University, Denmark -Member of AGUICAT (Professional licensed tour guides Association of Catalonia) -Performing arts and singing courses. -First-aid course training and experience as a lifeguard.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Let me show you why Gaudí and Barcelona belong together. Gaudí grew as an artist at the same time as the City evolved. Come with me and be part of this process. We'll go to the grandest street in Barcelona to see casa Batlló and la Pedrera to discover how nature is the origin and inspiration of everything. After, we'll head up to Park Güell, the enigmatic project that encourages a wide variety of interpretations to explain its symbology. Are you the kind of traveler that loves to find out about the "non official" explanations? I'll share with you some unusual interpretations so you can have a deeper experience. Enjoy the city at your feet to descend towards the Masterpiece, the unfinished Sagrada Familia to understand what makes it so unique. Can you believe that eventhough I have been there many times I am never getting tired of it? To me this building is alive and I love to see your expression the first time you admire the inside. Enter the world of Gaudí, the architect who changed Barcelona's outcome!

Wow! This tour was AMAZING! I can’t say enough good things about this tour and our guide, Montse! She is awesome! She was so knowledgeable, informative, and kind. If I could give this tour and this guide 6 stars I would! If we are ever able to return to Barcelona, we will absolutely book with Montse again!

Montse did a great job of showing us Gaudi's works and telling us the stories behind his creations and life. Our teenagers were worried that they would be bored but Montse kept the tour moving and interesting so we were all engaged. Plus, Montse is friendly and kind. A great tour guide and experience!

We’ve had private tours in so many European cities it’s hard to kept track. We’ve had great tours, ok tours and not great tours. Most fall into the first two categories. Montse sits atop them all as one of the very best. We can’t say enough of how knowledgeable and communicative she was. From the fun stories to the great advice for the rest of our stay, take our advice - start your time in Barcelona with a tour by her and you will not regret it! Thank you Montse!!

We had a great time with Montse. She is incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic with an incredible passion for all things Barcelona. Everyone learned a ton about Gaudi, the Sagrada Familia, and Barcelona and felt like it was a an afternoon very well spent. Definitely a highlight of our time in Barcelona and we won't hesitate to recommend Montse to our friends and family when they pass through Barcelona.

Montse was an excellent tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and personable, and so attentive to me as a new tourist and my whims and amazements. She paced things very well and was adaptable to the situation as it changed. I never got the feeling that she was clock watching nor rigid in her schedule.

We had an excellent experience on this private walking tour with Montse. She was very knowledgeable and enriched the itinerary with fascinating facts and stories that went beyond the expected highlights. What made the tour especially engaging was her interactive style—she asked thoughtful questions and encouraged feedback, which made us feel involved throughout the experience. Montse’s expertise, warmth, and ability to connect with the group made this tour both informative and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Barcelona’s architectural treasures with a guide who truly brings them to life.
