We had the privilege of having Ivanna take us on a day tour to Girona. It was more than what we expected, with Ivanna sharing so much history with us about the city. Ivanna is so easy to get along with and is very passionate. Thank you Ivanna for an awesome day. We would definitely recommend her!

Ivanna was an amazing guide she asked me about what I want to see and experience and she took me to the place’s that I asked for. We also went to the Dali Museum in which she helped me with getting the ticket, I have enjoyed the Museum. We also tried the local food of Gerona, it was a unique experience.
Overall Ivanna is a fun person to be with she so generous and full of knowledge. I highly recommend her for this tour. In the end, I feel that I have accomplished what I went for to see. My trip to Gerona

Day in Girona with my 9yo nephew and Ivanna could not have been better. We took the train out, spent time together talking about the history, amazing sushi, beautiful views of the city and great ice cream for the ride home! My nephew said ‘this is so much fun and she is the best!’ several times!Wonderful experience with Ivanna

I had a great tour with Ivanna. I'd spent time in Gothic before the tour so Ivanna changed things around to show me special places outside the main spots that I definitely wouldn't have seen myself. She was fun, engaging and with plenty of energy. I would recommend anyone booking a tour with her. Great tour with Ivanna

Ivanna was an amazing guide. She tailored the tour to meet our specific needs in the time we had in the city. She was so personable, knowledgeable and fun to walk around with. She went at a pace that was comfortable for our group while still fitting in the history and allowing us to get in our photos. Would definitely recommend signing up for one of her tours! Personable Tour With Amazing Sites!

Meeting up with Ivanna was everything we hoped it would be. Not only did we eat delicious tapas & pinxtos, but we learned about the culture as well. It was like spending an afternoon with a good friend. She was also super flexible and allowed us to reschedule when we were way too tired from our travels. She made the tour enjoyable both for me & my husband but also for our tween daughters.
After our tour, Ivanna recommended other great places to eat & followed up with us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.
I highly recommend booking a tour with Ivanna & only wish we had more time to do another!Like spending time with a friend

We had a terrific three hour trip along a bar-filled strip we would have never found on our own. Ivanna was great, and very helpful for selecting tapas that were different but not too off the wall for us.Good fun, great host

We had a fantastic experience with Ivanna. Ivanna was a great host and took us on a fabulous tour of the Gothic Quarter. She explained the history of the area in great detail, and as we walked she interspersed the walk with fantastic tastings. We enjoyed the walk through the market, and the tastings were enjoyable. At the beginning of the tour she gave us several choices of how we would like the tour to be organized; it was good that we could customize the event. Ivanna is a great conversationalist, and was very easy to chat with. She has a good knowledge of the area and pointed out some details that we would have missed, as well as some hidden treasures. The 3 hours went by so quickly. While she asked us what we enjoyed the most, it was difficult to pinpoint any one thing, as it was all great. It is good she saved the churro's to the end; the walk was worth it. Every place we stopped, we were welcomed like old friends and were made to feel very comfortable. We had a very enlightening and enjoyable afternoon.Great tour and food tasting!

We had a full wonderful day with Ivanna. We saw lots of Barcelona both the expected highlights as well as several less visited hidden spots. Ivanna was a wonderful guide sharing information about the city as well as her life here. If you are looking for a wonderful day exploring you should definitely book with Ivanna. We toured for a full day and ai Anna was very flexible in adjusting what we saw and where we went as we were starting to run out of energy. It was a great custom tour!! Treat yourself and go with Ivanna!GREAT DAY‼️‼️

Unexpectedly we scheduled our tour in the middle of La Merce, a creative and colorful festival that seemed to immerse the entire city. Ivanna told us all about the history of the festival and took us to see the “giants” that walk in the long parade down La Rambla, the wide avenue running through the city center. These tall ornate figures were spectacular up close. We walked up and down various side streets to avoid the crowds, and got to see the remains of the original walls of the old city, and amazing delicious churros with chocolate dipping sauce! Later we sat down for some tapas at a local restaurant that was away from the festival crowds! The conversation was pleasant and interesting. It is clear that Ivanna loves Barcelona!So fun and festive!

Ivanna was very good! She was very flexible with my 2 girls (7 and 11, tired at the end of our long road trip), so we changed the pre-agreed route to accomodate the low level of energy for walking.
Ivanna is very knowledgeable and passionate, which made it a big treat on the tour. She also made us recommendations for after and what not to miss when we were going on our own in Sagrada Familia. Thank you, Ivanna! Excellent guide!

The second tour with Ivanna went to Girona and to Tossa de Mar with a short swim event. Everything was perfectly prepared here too and it was an incredible experience. The view from the castle was amazing. She came up with several alternatives to design the route with us. The hours flew by. Nevertheless, she tooks extra time to show us more. There aren't that many stars to rate Ivanna. Unforgettable and breathtaking. Greetings Vitalia and RalfA breathtaking tour

The tour with Ivanna to Montserrat was extremely beautiful. It might have taken a little bit more time to do that. But for a first visit, having a tour guide was ideal. The arrival was by train and from there by cable car up. Really an incredible experience. Ivanna had organized everything perfectly so that despite the many visitors on site, we made good progress. Even after that, Ivanna was always available, making recommendations on what to see in Barcelona and gave tips for the best restaurants and bars in town. We can only recommend Ivanna with her relaxed and friendly manner. We booked a second tour with her right away. Greeting Vitalia and RalfAn overwhelming experience

The moment we me Ivanna we clicked. She was smart and professional but warm and friendly. She was well traveled and interested in our adventures as well. We would not have had as enriching an experience without her. She showed us all the amazing architecture and we enjoyed the delicious food as well. She was a joy to spend the day with and we highly recommend her to anyone who want a rich, enriching and joyful experience in Barcelona. A day in Barcelona with Ivanna

Wir können Ivanna nur empfehlen. Wir waren als gemischte Gruppe mit 2 älteren Damen und mir und meiner Frau unterwegs. Ivanna hat die Tour auf alle unsere Wünsche perfekt angepasst. Sie sprüht vor Energie und weis zu jeder Frage eine Antwort.
Wenn man mit Ihr durch die Altstadt spaziert wird sie von vielen Leuten dort erkannt und begrüßt total cool.
Sie ist eine unglaubliche Person und wir sind glücklich Sie kennengelernt zu haben.
Einfach liebenswert und toll.Der beste Tourguide den ihr buchen könnt

Ivanna was a wonderful tour guide. We spent 2 days with her. First day we walked the inner city and were able to see a lot of the ancient architecture. Saw the Sangra Familia. She took us for lunch to a tapas bar. She is quite nice and shows great concern for your comfort. She drove us to a small town on the coast on the second day where we were able to see the beautiful sea and we ate a nice lunch by the sea. She knows the shops in Barcelona that have nice local handmade items. She just helped us in every way. I recommend her.Barcelona and Costa Brava

We had a lovely afternoon with Ivanna who personalized her tour by combing ing a visit to Casa Mila and a tapas location and directed us to a place for tasty churros on our way back to the hotel. She had great energy and offered nice informational tidbits along the way. With her background in photography she was able to direct our perspectives for the photographer in our group. We happily recommend her as a host! Great outing

Had a great food tour with Ivanna. She made sure everyone in the group was having fun, and adapted what she was talking about to our interests. She had a personal relationship at every place we went and really took her time to show her love of the city. I hope we can do another tour with her in the future!Super fun

Our guide, Ivanna was the best! She contacted me before the tour to find out what things we were interested in. She organized a custom tour for us. As we started the tour, we began to ask questions and decided to modify the tour. She was right on top of this and didn't miss a beat, even with the changes that we wanted, while keeping it fun! She is also very knowledgable and informative. We very highly recommend this tour with Ivanna!Educational informative and FUN!

We had a wonderful food tour with Ivanna! She guided us through a market and cool neighborhoods we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. She shared a nice mix of history about the city with info about the food and drinks we enjoyed. Ivanna was great with our daughters and east to hang out with. We highly recommend her as a guide!

More about me
I'm a Multidisciplinary Artist, Photographer and Art Therapist in love with Barcelona. I'm certain you'll have a great time discovering Catalunya with me, as my passion for storytelling and bonding with people makes me a fun and educated host. From Sagrada Familia and Ciudadella Park, to the hidden Gems of El Born and Gothic Quarter, let us go on an adventure together!
I do take days to be a tourist in the region so I get to discover new places, try all kinds of foods and embrace the Catalan culture. I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina but left 22 years ago to live in places such as Toronto, Vancouver, Riviera Maya, Kenya, Stuttgart and Yukon Territories.
In 2009, I visited Barcelona for the first time and for the 11 years that followed, I dreamt of moving here. Life had other plans, so before realizing my lifelong dream I had fun working as a full-time artist in Tulum and Playa del Carmen, taking people on tours along the Mayan Riviera, painting murals in Mexico City, working as photographer in various countries, taking guests to witness the Northern Lights and go ice fishing and dog-sledding in the Yukon Territories.
I would love to share my nomad's life stories with you while we enjoy this enchanting region together; I am sure you have stories to share too! Book time with me and let’s go have a blast!
