Hi there! Nice to meet you

Lars

I'm Lars :) and I'd like to invite you to experience "la meva Barcelona" – my Barcelona!

Since moving here almost 3 years ago, I've done all of the hard work for you: the awkward conversations, committing every "faux pas" you can imagine, and slowly but surely getting beyond the surface and to the core of the true and authentic Barcelona. I have had the great pleasure of meeting some amazing people and learning about their stories – and I want to share all of this with you!

I've learned to speak Spanish and Catalan fluently which has facilitated lots of beautiful friendships with local people of all walks of life. As a musician, I've connected with many fellows artists and patrons of the arts here in my neighborhood of Gràcia – most recently I've become the secretary of a local pianist who comes from a long line of painters and architects!

I extend a warm invitation to anyone who would like to experience Barcelona in a more local and intimate way :)

Lars was a fantastic guide and host for our group. We went with him 2 days, including a private tour with small children. He was unflappable and so knowledgeable. He made everyone feel very welcome, quoted a very fair price and was easy to work with to organize our limited time. We also enjoyed his great insight. Lars is highly recommend Lars for an amazing Barcelona experience!Fantastic Guide & Barcelona Experience!

Lars was our brilliant guide in May 2025 and took me, my husband and two children (ages 6 & 10) around Barcelona. Lars has an immense knowledge of the history of the city, its people, language and culture. His tour enabled us to ask so many questions and learn a huge amount about this amazing city. Lars also gave some great restaurant recommendations too. Would highly recommend. Fab family friendly tour of Barcelona

Lars was exceptional in his knowledge of all-things-Gaudi on our 3 hour tour. We learned the details of Gaudi's life and career and the history of the neighborhoods we walked through. A really interesting, and fun tour! Plus Lars was quick to help guide us back to our hotel and offer dinner suggestions afterwards. I highly recommend Lars and withlocals.

Lars ist ein wunderbarer junger Mann, der uns durch das Viertel mit vielen tollen Informationen um den Ausnahmekünstler/Architekten Antoni Gaudi geführt hat. Er hat uns animiert, die Geschichte um das Fest des Patronheiligen Kataloniens zu performen, was sehr einprägsam und lustig war. Das kleinste Theater der Welt war ein Oase in Mitten der Stadt ... also, eine Führung mit Lars ist einmalig, absolut empfehlenswert und wir kommen wieder.

Lars’ tour was hands down the best part of our trip. He was so knowledgeable but also curious about what we wanted to do/learn about/experience. He was so so wonderful with my 11 year old daughter and showed us places we never would have seen that we will treasure forever. Don’t hesitate to book Lars, he is the best!!What a guy!

Wir hatten mit Lars einen perfekten Einstieg in eine tolle Woche. Er spricht super Deutsch, so dass unser Sohn alles prima verstehen konnte. Neben den bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten und Fakten wusste er auch viele „Fun Facts“ zu zeigen und zu berichten! Lars ist super zuvorkommend und ist auf unsere Wünsche total eingegangen und sich auch nach der Führung noch die Zeit genommen, uns mit Empfehlungen zu unterstützen! Vielen lieben Dank die Lars!!!! Maren, Matthias und Henri Ein perfekter Auftakt dank Lars

Lars is a great child and adult friendly guide who is warmly welcoming you and finding a perfect mixture of information and stories about the city & tradition and friendship customizing his tour completely to your needs. He was even sending us tipps about many things like markets, ongoing events, public transports and recommendable restaurants for locals before and after our tour. Lars is the best guide we could wish for, just like a good friend we got to know. Thanks for the stunning experience 🤩Great guide experience with Lars
