Barcelona Highlights with a Local Friend
Overview
Discover Barcelona at the hands of a local friend at your own pace doing exactly what you want to do!
In this completely personalized tour, we will communicate beforehand to discuss your needs and interests to create a customized itinerary which will be a mash-up of your Barcelona bucket list and the top sights and suggestions. The details on this page are just suggestions!
When we meet, I'll be like a local friend, showing you around my city and telling you stories and anecdotes about the city, history, culture, and my local experience. Keep in mind that this is a private experience just for you and your travel party, so we'll go at your pace and anything that comes up during the day we can adjust or modify. Please message for inquiries and concerns!
My objective is to be the bridge to help you understand the local life and identity of Barcelona so that you can also see the magical feeling that attracts so many people to this beautiful city. Just follow me!
