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.

Let's travel back in time to explore how everything started for Barcelona. To understand where we are now we need to know where we come from. Stroll with me through more than 2000 years of history and discover the streets, squares and hidden corners of the Gothic and Born Quarters. We will look at the Romans remains, you will hear about legends and myths of Medieval Ages and I will make you observe how the stones can reveal many secrets. Reality always exceeds fiction, we only have to study our own history to realize about it. I will share with you stories from our past, anecdotes and crazy traditions while we admire the architectural jewels from medieval times which are living proof of an splendorous time for the city. Feel like an insider walking with me around the vibrant maze that is the Old Town of Barcelona.
Montse is a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed two tours with her. She is fantastic with kids and kept our 5 year old granddaughter engaged throughout the tours. She is not only knowledgeable but also she presents information in interesting and fun ways. She is very friendly and easily adapts to your needs. We highly recommend Montse to everyone. Thank you, Montse.
Montse was surprisingly wonderful Great passion and knowledge of her beloved Barcino. Endearing and well spoken. She made the Experience meaningful. Highly recommend an experience with her.
Our family took a 3 hour walking tour of the old city of Barcelona with Montse. She is very knowledgeable and personable. She pointed out the geography of Barcelona demonstrating the old compared with the new city. We saw many interesting sites including the cathedral, the Jewish quarter, Roman ruins, the city and Barcelona offices, and many more, We stopped for delicious gelato as per her recommendation. Montse described all of the sites with an engaging style keeping us interested for the entire time. I strongly recommend her!
Tour was a good balance of historical and contemporary information. Montse was the perfect guide presenting Barcelona in a way so that after few hours with her you get a sense you have really felt the city vibe but also have learned at the same time a lot of staff about the city.
Montse was amazing! I explained the type of tour we wanted and she executed it perfectly. Her English is very good and she explains history in a very informative and interesting way. She is very knowledgeable about Barcelona and it’s history. . She is high energy but reads the room and adjusts to the group. I highly recommend spending time with this sweet fun lady. She also had wonderful restaurant suggestions. Thanks Montse for a wonderful morning !!
We enjoyed our tour with Montse very much. She was very interesting and entertaining. She answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour and this guide!

This is mainly a walking tour, Old City Barcelona was not built to be driven by cars or mini vans, the streets and alleys are very narrow. Most of the streets we will explore are just for pedestrians. All the streets are paved and we can avoid steps by using ramps. If you wish any transportation please contact me and I will arrange it with an extra cost.
