Making Barcelona shine for you!
I'm a Barcelona NATIVE and CERTIFIED tourguide. My clients say I'm very knowledgeable and professional, but also FUN, welcoming and caring for the details.
I have been always IN LOVE with my city, and my goal is to share this passion with travelers.
I SPECIALIZE IN PRIVATE TOURS for couples, families and small groups travelling together (friends or coworkers), and I love it!
I'm also very VERSATILE: I'm one of the few certified tourguides offering EPICUREAN tours (markets, food stores, tapas tours...), I can also give GARDEN tours (my grandmother passed me her love for nature), and I've got also a lot of experience showing the local JEWISH heritage.
Also, as a certified guide I'm allowed to SKIP THE LINES to enter museums and other sites. That saves a lot of time, and in some places we'll even be given a reduced tourguide fee!
My over 10 years experience giving private tours has made me become quite EMPATHIC: I'm good at grasping my clients needs and giving them what they really want.
Because there is a Barcelona for every visitor!

Tapas are the most fun way to eat in Spain: small samples of a variety of dishes to share: meat, fish and seafood, vegetables, sausages and ham, egg, cheese... fried, grilled, sautée, fresh... spicy or not... traditional or fancy...
In this tour I'll take you hopping from tapas bar to tapas bar in the Old Town the way Spaniards do. We'll discover how different regions of Spain prepare them, we'll try different specialities and local products, experiencing from the shabbiest taberns, to the traditional bars to the trendiest design venues. An itinerary conceived to show you the great variety of the Tapas World, and a wonderful approach to the creativity of the Spanish cooking!
WALKING TOUR (no transportation included, but... never more than 5 minutes walk from bar to bar!)
Fee includes my guiding around the Old Town alleys, translating and assisting you in the bars, and of course recomending the specialities of each place that you are likely to enjoy the most!
Fee does not include food/drinks. Unfortunately, if I included a fee, that would spoil the fun of improvising and a closed budget would limit our choices. Not including the food/drink gives you complete freedom to decide what you'd like to try, what kind of drinks you'd like to have (from a local beer or a coke to the finest wine glass!)... To me your satisfaction and your freedom to decide are the most important things!
Since we need to adapt to the bars opening hours, the tour MUST be run in the following schedule:
- LUNCH TOUR: noon to 4pm.
- DINNER TOUR: 8pm to midnight.
Note: the bars included in the itinerary may vary depending on the venues holydays and opening hours.

It features one of the best collections of Dalí’s works in the world. See the famous Basket of Bread, the Galarina, and the Rainy Cadillac, among others. And be surprised to see the unusual place where he chose to to be buried.
