Hi there! Nice to meet you

Mario

Hi ! I’m Mario Cano and I love skateboarding I been skating since I’m 12 and I start filmmaking at the age of 15 now I’m 29 And still feeling like a kid who love enjoying the moment on a skateboard.

The favorite thing in the city of Barcelona is the diversity of things you specially for people who never stop !

If you are skater you will see professionals from all around the world just hanging around and sometimes you find yourself just skating with them at macba or any famous skate spot.

My passions after skateboarding is dancing

If you like dancing there is a bunch of places to dance, live music in a lots of bars in town

I love dancing bachata & salsa because is another way to express myself and incredible way to meet new people and have fun !

I have a bunch of anecdotes like

I’m always skating with my beautiful small dog!

I get to know so many people to the point I don’t make plans and I realize improvising is the best way to have a wonderful experience and I’m always surrounded by amazing people.

My vibe attracts my tribe !

Oh man this tour was exactly what I had in mind. Im 34 and got to see and skate spots I've seen in videos for 20+ years. Mario took me all over the city and ended at macba. He took some awesome clips and pushed me to land tricks I don't usually do. He gave a fantastic dinner recommendation and even helped direct me via video chat after the tour on how to find it. 10/10 do it if you're a skater. Couldn't have asked for more!

Mario was a wonderful guide. I booked to do the skate tour as my eldest son is doing his final year dissertation on skateboard culture. Despite none of us actually being able to skate, Mario tailored the tour so we could get the best out of it, both from a skateboarding point of view, and an 'off the beaten track' look at Barcelona too. My two boys, aged 18 and 20, loved it, and said it was the highlight of our trip. Thank you so much for your time and knowledge Mario. We totally recommend Mario as a guide and the tour itself. A wonderful tour with a wonderful host

I booked a skate tour with Mario which ended up being one of the best experiences I’ve ever had traveling through Spain. He is a great guide, skateboarder and filmmaker. He has a great eye which made the visuals for my video that much better. He took me to great spots to skate, and he was really knowledgeable about the areas. He also provided a skateboard for me which work out perfectly. Mario is also a great human with such a bright spirit, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a unique skate/tour experience in Barcelona. Mario is really talented at what he does and I wish him much success with his touring/skate business. I will definitely book him again when I go back to Barcelona. I have also told friends to book a tour when they travel that way:)Best Experience!

Mario was a star and our son Sylvester (13) had the best time. Mario is a dedicated free spirit and made sure Sylvester had the absolute best skate expirence in Barcelona. If every tour had a bit of his personality and dedication it would be perfect! Mario thank you so much - Sylvester had the time of his life🛹Just wow - THANK YOU!

This was a fantastic experience! I’m 37 and have been on and off the board throughout my life, and skating in Barcelona has been on my bucket list ever since I was a kid. Mario got in touch with me within minutes of making a booking, asking how he could tailor make the tour to meet my interests. He was super friendly and had a professional demeanor. All I said was to take me around as if it was his day to skate and we did exactly that! He proposed a meeting place based on where I was staying. We met up and immediately started cruising through the streets hitting up Arc, DIY picnic and Parallel. We refueled with some local street food, talked about skating and life experiences, and even kicked off the evening with Mario’s killer cocktails at The Station. His personality had me feeling like I just met up with a childhood friend that I hadn’t seen in years! Almost every spot and route we rode Mario took time to introduce me to the locals and explain the history of the spot. This let me feel included in the community and for the next 4 days of skating I’d cross paths with familiar faces and just blend in. It allowed me to just soak up the experience to the fullest! This tour is without a doubt a must if you really want to experience skate culture in BCN, regardless of your skill level or age. Thanks again, Mario, for being a great ambassador for both the city of Barcelona and for skateboarding!!Worth every euro!

Exactly as described. Mario met us in Barceloneta and took our 12 year old son to local skateboard spots. Mario shared his enthusiasm for skateboarding and gave our son, who is still new to skateboarding, lots of encouragement and advice. Our son has a fantastic time and we would definitely recommend Mario and this tour. Many thanks! Fantastic experienxe.

Mario was a bit late due to transport problems but kept us in touch all the time. He took my son and his friend to some of the skate haunts, and made them sandwiches on the beach. Having Mario guide them 1-2-2 was great and they loved the experience saying Mario is the funniest guy they’ve met. They also had time to practise their tricks in the famed MACB square among other places! Skateboarding with Mario

My 13 year old son is a skateboarder and Mario went out of his way, above and beyond to give my son the best experience ever. He went on his own with Mario, I was totally confident to trust him to Mario's care for the day, he took him on a filming job as well as skating with him and showing him the city. I joined them later and watched them filming their own skateboarding tricks, Mario totally inspired my son to work harder at his skating and be positive about life. He has a memory and experience that he will value and remember for ever. I cant thank Mario enough, a truly lovely and special man.It was the Best Day of my Sons Life.

My son, Charlie, recently had the most exhilarating skateboarding experience in Barcelona with the talented and friendly guide, Mario. From the moment they met, it was clear that Charlie was in for an extraordinary day filled with excitement and unforgettable memories. Mario's extensive knowledge of Barcelona's skate scene was truly impressive. He took Charlie on an adventure, exploring all the incredible skate spots the city has to offer. With each location they visited, Charlie's excitement grew, and he couldn't help but share his enthusiasm with me during their breaks. It was evident that Mario's passion for skateboarding was contagious. Not only did Mario showcase the best skate spots in Barcelona, but he also went above and beyond by capturing Charlie's skateboarding skills through stylish and visually stunning videos. Mario's skills as a videographer and editor were remarkable, and he created an incredible memento of the day's adventure. The videos perfectly captured the energy and thrill of Charlie's skateboarding experience. What truly sets Mario apart is his exceptional personality. He is genuinely one of the friendliest individuals we've ever met, and his charming nature instantly connected with my teenage son. Mario effortlessly created an environment where Charlie felt comfortable and encouraged to challenge himself on his skateboard. Their connection undoubtedly added an extra layer of enjoyment to the entire experience. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a skateboarding excursion with Mario if you want a phenomenal time in Barcelona. With his expertise, passion, and infectious enthusiasm, Mario ensures that every moment is filled with excitement and joy. My family and I give Mario a perfect 10 out of 10 rating for his exceptional guiding skills and the unforgettable memories he helped create. Thank you, Mario, for providing Charlie with an extraordinary day of skateboarding and adventure in Barcelona. Your talent, friendliness, and ability to connect with teenagers make you an outstanding guide. We're grateful for the incredible experience and would enthusiastically recommend you to anyone looking for the best skateboarding tour in Barcelona!Skateboarding Adventure with Mario

Mario was a fantastic tour guide for showing the skating parts of the city, and he had a lot of knowledge about the general area too. If you’re a skater, this is a must not miss day out. Amazing Tour
