Welcome to Barcelona, where I create private, tailor-made tours for curious travellers. I’m a licensed local guide who has always been inspired by art, history, and the landscapes of Catalonia. Growing up in a small medieval town surrounded by nature shaped my love for culture from an early age, and today, sharing that passion with travelers is one of my greatest joys. I’m curious, warm, and deeply connected to the stories that give each place its soul. I began my tourism studies in Barcelona, a city that quickly became my professional home, and later continued my training with an Erasmus program in Tuscany. Over the years, I’ve developed a special love for creating unique, author-style tours that go beyond the usual routes. From handcrafted cultural itineraries to bicycle and e-bike tours that help travelers enjoy the city in a relaxed and immersive way, I love designing experiences that feel personal, authentic, and full of character. I guide in Catalan, Spanish, and English, and I have a strong background in accessibility thanks to my earlier studies in occupational therapy at the university. I’ve also enriched my understanding of local wines through sommelier training and hands-on experience, which helps me introduce travelers to the wine culture and culinary traditions of Catalonia in a warm and approachable way. I would be delighted to welcome you and help you discover the magic of Barcelona and Catalonia. Whether you’re looking for history, food, architecture, landscapes, or a truly original experience, I’m here to create a personalized journey that feels warm, meaningful, and unforgettable. Looking forward to exploring together! - Red Cross first-aid certificate - Government licensed tour guide.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

Step off the beaten path and discover the quieter side of Catalonia on a tour blending modernist architecture, local traditions, and Mediterranean flavors. Start just outside Barcelona at Colònia Güell, a hidden gem of Catalan Modernism. Visit Gaudí’s Crypt, a UNESCO-listed site and a peaceful precursor to the Sagrada Família, far from the city crowds. Then, head north to the Alella wine region, perched between sea and mountains. This historic D.O. region inspired Gaudí and was closely connected to his patron, Eusebi Güell. In Alella, visit a family-run winery for a guided tour and tasting of organic wines, paired with local delicacies like artisan cheese, olive oil, and cured meats, while enjoying views of the vineyards and the Mediterranean Sea.
