Hi there! Nice to meet you

Elvira

I was born and raised in Barcelona. Arts, cultures and travelling have always interested me, which explains why I have a degree in Tourism and Tour Guiding professional course. My inquisitive mind brought me to life abroad in English speaking countries for 5 years.

Book a tour or day trip with me and you will explore my city and my region through the eyes of a local who has grown up here, going beyond sightseeing and learning not only about history and curiosities but also about my culture. I am a big fan of educating travellers and showing hidden gems.

Get ready to receive authentic tailored experiences that will approach my culture to you. I will skip touristy traps and give you a FREE food guide and plenty of advice, so you can eat and explore like the native locals do. If you prefer to explore by car is also possible in or outside Barcelona city.

The list of tours I offer are:

🏛Highlights of town, traditions & Market tour - I strongly recommend this one if you have teenagers/children.

🏛Highlights of old Barcelona & Gaudi- a mix between history and the main Gaudi sights

🚲 E-bike tours around different areas in town.

🥘 Food tours: I customize the food tastings according to clients' taste, with sophisticated food tastings. Please reach out to me before booking. I offer paella cooking class too,reach out for further information!

👁️ Off-the-beaten track tour: can be a mix of different areas or just one: Raval & Montjuic neighbourhoods.

🤫 ONLY hidden-gems tour, discover the oldest and most impressive gems in town.

🏖️ Sitges charming bohemian coastal village 5h 30min tour.

🌊⛵ Tapas or city tour & Sailing to watch America's cup events from the sea 🌊⛵

DAY trips from Barcelona:

🏖️ Montserrat & Sitges beautiful seaside village -7h tour

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Family friendly & unknown Montserrat - discover the unknown sights of this natural park, away from touristy crowds.Option to add a Winery visit.

🧑‍🎨 Dali Museum & spectacular Dali house in Cadaques - 10h tour

🏰 Girona medieval town- by high speed train is faster but I can drive too - 5 to 6hours

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Elvira

The tour was enjoyable and the olive oil farm was a highlight. Montserrat was peaceful and gorgeous. However, Elvira is a dangerous and inexperienced driver. I would recommend booking a tour with her that does not involve a vehicle. Poor and dangerous driving

My wife and I enjoyed an amazing food tour around Barcelona with Elvira, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that combined local knowledge with our own requests. There really is no constructive feedback I could give, as the tour was perfect; my wife and I are still talking and reminiscing about it! Elvira is personable, knowledgable, and brings her own experiences and understandings. We learned a huge amount, ate even more! Thanks, and we will return with the family!Amazing and personalized food tour

Elvira was a great guide. Full of enthusiasm and very knowledgeable. Easy to listen to. Was happy to adapt tour to our needs, taking into consideration what we had already seen, ensuring we weren’t covering areas twice. E bikes were a great way of covering a lot of areas, a lot of fun!

We did the 10 tastings of Barcelona with Elvira. As a family of four ( 2 adults and 2 kids (10 and 13), we had very different preferences for food. She adjusted quickly and made sure we had a great tour. As it was our first day in Barcelona, and we were very jet-lagged, we were not as hungry as we should have been for such a tour, so she quickly pivoted and included some walking and historic tour of the City. She was very knowledgeable. She was very generous with her time, and made sure everyone had a good time. I highly recommend!Super flexible and great with kids!

Elvira was perfect very knowledgeable , friendly she knew her way around town took us to local markets and explained the true Catalon food and flavors and would definitely recommend. 10 stars is not enough for her or the amount of food you get. You better go hungry.

Elvira created the perfect custom itinerary for us, 2 beautiful wineries plus a tour of Montserrat. Highly recommend reaching out to her for a customized tour! Don’t just do Montserrat, explore the area for a full day with Elvira!Fantastic Winery Day

Elvira was patient as we got lost and were running behind and greatly appreciate her flexibility! We had a fun walk around the gothic quarter with our family of 3 adults and 3 kids, all under the age of 4. some of the topics felt a bit confusing and unfinished / where we would jump around and didn’t feel like a natural flow of details but not a deal breaker. Family friendly tour with toddlers

Elvira provided our family (2 teenagers and 2 adults) with a great tour of the Gothic Quarter and El Born. She provided lots of information that educated us on the history of Barcelona, Catalunya and Spain whilst taking us to many parts of these locations we may not have seen. She is passionate about the city and our boys love the information and the sights. She was very flexible on the start time, location and things to see which suited us perfectly. We recommend her highly.Insightful tour from a passionate host
