Hello! My name is Manfredi. Originally from Rome, I have travelled extensively and worked and studied in Bologna, London, Brussels and New York. I finally settled down in Barcelona, which has been my home since 2008. I am deeply integrated into Catalan culture and society. Arriving at this career as a licensed tour guide was an inspiration, allowing me to join the dots of my life into an overall, meaningful mosaic of my passion for architecture, art, and history. My intellectual curiosity, combined with my insight into the political and social issues of our time are all different tiles of the mosaic. I deeply love what I do. My vibrant passion will accompany you on whichever tour you book with me. It will be a tour of discovery and adventure where you feel as primary actors in an interactive story. All tours will be a combination of fun, alongside with gaining deeper insights into Barcelona and Catalonia. On my tours, you will taste the "Catalan life, " immersing yourself in a flow of visions, sensations and stories, and experience the heritage, culture, food, history, politics and tradition in this unique city. There is much to do! Visit a monument or museum, walk through an historical area, enjoy the panoramic outlook over our city, or simply discovery the diversity of gastronomy. I will conduct the tour in a "relaxed "mode. No hustle bustle to keep pace with 90 other tourists. We will take the time to go in depth and taste all the flavors together. At the end of the tour, we will be both enriched and changed If you are intrigued, check out my tour itineraries that follow. If you have a special request, we can create a tour together that will suit your needs. As an example, I designed a skateboarder's tour of Barcelona for some young clients. We took in all the sights by both skateboard and bikes. I am always open to requests. - Degree in Political Science and History, University of Bologna, Italy, February 1998; - Master's degree in European Policies and law, University of Leuven, Belgium, 2005; - License as a tour guide of Canary Islands, Spain, April 2017; - License as a tour guide of Catalonia, Spain, May 2018; - Course about Montserrat, Monastery of Monserrat and University of Girona, Spain, 2019; - Course about Pablo Picasso, Picasso Museum and University of Barcelona, Spain, 2020, 2021, 2022; - Degree in Art History, University of Barcelona, Spain, in progress. I do not drive during my tours, as I am totally focused in delivering a touring service at a very high level: I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can alternatively arrange for a private car and a driver.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

We will meet outside, where we will already have a perspective on the majestic architecture of the central towers, a dramatic projection towards the divine dimension that Gaudi meant to develop with this church. We will find some spots to take breath-taking pictures, and revive the impression, looking up towards the spires, of being insignificant, overwhelmed by the size and the majesty of the construction: this must have been the very human feeling of the all-mighty power of God that people, for centuries. perceived facing cathedrals, and la Sagrada Familia is, in all respects, the last great cathedral in history (even though, technically and formally, it is not a cathedral). Then, after skipping lines, we will enter, and read through the symbols carved in stone of the first façade, and we will be amazed by a profusion of natural elements. What will leave us speechless, though, is a magical vision of a wood made of stone, enlightened by a natural sunlight refracted in hundreds of warm and cold tonalities
