Private Guide in Barcelona
Here is where we explain who we are and why we are the best option in Barcelona. But if you are in a kind of a rush or you are more into watching videos, here you have a nice one. This way you can see how we talk, our knowledge and how wonderful the city is.
Anna Carrasco: Founder of Barcelonina
Manifesto
We all have a traveller inside us and this traveler is someone curious.
I’m sure good humour is a part of the good memories.
I think empathy makes us more human.
With a good sense of humour and sympathy all the memories are better. This is the idea I convey in my explanations as a Private guide in Barcelona and this is the idea I communicate to my team.
We show you our Barcelona to make you feel like a local. Welcome to a singular and authentic city.
To be chosen by a customer, has an enormous value for my team and for me. This is the reason why we will create an unforgettable experience for you.
I search your satisfaction with an approchable attitude, empathy and accurate information. This is the reason why I have selected the best Private guide in Barcelona.
Forget about walking around with a book as heavy as a brick. Leave it in our hands.
I propose you some itineraries created for you, for the curious traveller, the one walking around with no rush, the one who wishes to understand the city.
Since I started Barcelonina in 2012 as a Tourist guide in Barcelona, have witnessed countless «first times of…» (add Sagrada Familia, add Gothic Area, add Picassso Museum), and the moment I prefer is when the guest becomes a part of the place, embraces it.
My favourite topics are the history of Barcelona, the human side of the Modernism and its urbanistic evolution. I choose always the point of view of common people, the day by day. As matter of fact, an every day event can be the exemple of a big era.

Since 2007. I started as a guide in an emblematic building in Barcelona, the Palau de la Música Catalana, only on weekends because it was combined with an office job. Then I started to take other tours, and I made the jump to work only as a guide very quickly before finishing in 2007.
What do you like most about teaching or explaining in Barcelona?
