Why Choose a Certified Barcelona Tour Guide?
Not all guides are created equal. My official Tourist Guide License, issued by the Government of Catalonia, is your guarantee that I successfully passed the official exam and was accredited as an official guide in Barcelona. The license attests to the professional training of the guide, as well as to the legality of the work. It is also a reflection of my knowledge of history, art, architecture and modern life in the country where I work and live.
It`s an official administrative authorization that allows to guide inside any of the monuments and museums of Barcelona & Catalonia such as Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, the Cathedral, Pablo Picasso Museum and others. Only a licensed guide for the city of Barcelona has this right!
With an official guide you skip the lines to enter in museums , as a licensed guide in Barcelona and Catalonia I enter by presenting my ID card and my clients follow me. This is a huge advantage that allows us to use our time efficiently.
I am entirely convinced that if you look for getting a full, high-quality tour and you value your time and deeply enriching Barcelona experience, then you should turn to certified guide!
My Story: A Passion for Culture and Connection
I am originally from Russia, I graduated from the University in Foreign Languages, Arts and History. I’m fluent in French, English and Spanish. Before moving to Barcelona, I worked as a guide and interpreter for French speaking delegations and tourists.
I have been living in Barcelona for more than 20 years. This beautiful, sunny and eternally bustling city has become my second home. It is one of the few cities in the world that absolutely everyone, or almost everyone, falls in love with and tries to come back here again.

Experience Barcelona Beyond the Guidebook
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, which is a unique part of Spain. There is everything for every taste: Barcelona and its history, architecture and arts, sports, gastronomy and 300 sunny days a year. There is the Mediterranean Sea and 4 km of beaches within the city, there are so many unusual celebrations, theater performances, festivals and all kinds of competitions!
You never get tired of admiring its landscapes – the joyful meeting of sun, sea and mountains, the emerald green of the pine forests and the blue of the sea!
Although it is not the capital of the entire country, it holds the title of the most visited city in Spain and ranks at the top of the list of the most beautiful and interesting cities in Europe. Barcelona has its own culture and even its own language — Catalan — which shares similarities with both Spanish and French. And, of course, it has its own mentality, where rationality and creativity blend in an astonishing way, sometimes bordering on madness.
You don’t have to look far for examples: Architect Antoni Gaudí, whose talent and unfathomable vision of the Sagrada Família turned Barcelona into a tourist mecca. Or Salvador Dalí, a Catalan and world-famous artist, founder of the paranoiac-critical method in painting. Or the painter Joan Miró, whose work is instantly recognizable and utterly inimitable, despite the seemingly simple and naive forms.
Let me show it to you. Let’s explore all it can offer together.
