Hi !!. I'm Francisco M, experienced 100% local tour guide for private tours, only your group. Born and raised in Barcelona at the neighborhood of Gracia. A traveler too that visited Europe, North America, Mexico, Belize, North Africa, Thailand, Bali, Philippines, Vietnam, Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Turkey, Egypt. I understand the effort that takes to put together a trip, mentally and economic. One of the things I always looking for when travelling is to be treat like a local, mingle with the locals to have a local experience and above all, honesty. Sharp on the details to spot many things that the naked eye tends to miss. I will be showing you my beautiful city and explaining the history of the neighborhoods, giving you a lot of information of the sights, buildings and their artists/architects/engineers. I have city tours and tours outside Barcelona with private car, with VIP Mercedes Van, VIP Minibus and walking tours that range from 2 to 8 hours where we can visit Antoni Gaudi sites like Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila (La Pedrera), Roman, Gothic quarter, La Rambla, Boqueria Market, Montserrat, Gerona, Costa Brava, Sitges, Tarragona, Dali museum at Figueras and the Penedes region for the wineries/cellars for cava.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Montserrat, the Natural Park is a multi-peaked mountain shaped by the wind and rain and that is where it's name comes from, as it looks like a saw, the serrated mountain. Almost to the top we find Santa Maria de Montserrat, the monastery, Catalonia's most important religious retreat. Inside the Basilica we can see the astonishing stained glass and the Virgin of Montserrat "La Moreneta" (the black virgin), is Catalonia's Virgin. This tour allows us to take a the Funicular of Sant Joan even further up the Mountain, then we will hike down towards Sant Miquel Cross with its panoramic view of the religious retreat and then back to the base where we started to see the Basilica. For those who doesn't like heights or hike, there is the possibility to visit Museum of Montserrat instead. To then go to hear the Choirboys.
