Hi there! Nice to meet you

Octavio

Hi! I'm Octavio, I'm 31 years old and I was born in Argentina.

I lived in Buenos Aires, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, but then finally a city took my heart and I've been living in Barcelona for more than 5 years!

While here, I've learnt to live as a local and a tourist, both at the same time. Barcelona is amazing! Let me show you why, and you'll be able to enjoy your holidays one step ahead.

Choose me and I'll recommend you the best places to go, the "must do experiences" I've found over the years, and the hidden gems, so you can add new adventures to your trip, aside from the main touristic attractions.

Let's discover Barcelona together!

*Please text me privately through withlocals if I seem to be unavailable on my calendar, usually I can save the date for us!*

Octavio was quick to respond prior to our visit. We messaged back and forth to plan our afternoon together. He met us at a restaurant at our convenience and had the whole afternoon planned out. We saw sites that we never would have seen without him. Highly recommend. Fun and knowledgeable

Cannot say enough about how wonderful our bike ride was with Octavio. He was easy to talk to, answered all questions thoroughly, and safely guided my family of four through the beautiful city of Barcelona…all while keeping a great sense of humor. The weather unfortunately did not cooperate but that did not dampen anyone’s spirits, including Octavio’s. He was full steam ahead with us. I cannot recommend Octavio and this tour enough. Thank you Octavio! We gained immense knowledge of Barcelona, but also feel like we gained a friend 😊Octavio was the BEST

It was a really engaging experience with Octavio. I was worried about it being awkward eating with someone we may not be too familiar with but it was really great company where we had interesting conversations. The places he brought us too were amazing and unique, combining different types of food. We especially love his thought process in planning for us! Great food and conversations !

Octavio was very well versed with history and we learnt alot spending time with him exploring the different places and taking the off beaten path to see more than just the main areas for tourists. We got to explore and see contrast of the different areas and had a really great experience! Great customized experience!

I had a wonderful tour with Octavio here in Barcelona getting exposed to some local foods, drinks and culture. Octavio planned a great itinerary based on my requests and I got to taste some great tapas, desserts and local drinks, while also getting a bit of Barcelona history. I always enjoy hiring a local tour guide when traveling and Octavio did not disappoint. Great personalize experience

Octavio was a fantastic guide who tailored our experience based on everything we had told him. He asked what we liked/had already seen in the city and even adapted the tour en route according to the conversation we were having and what we enjoyed. Would highly recommend! Fantastic bespoke tour

Octavio took us on a tour the night we flew in before a cruise. We had 6 family members aged 24 to 30 and they LOVED Octavio. We were late in arriving and were hungry. He took us to a restaurant suggested foods, told us about them, and ordered everything for us. The conversation around the table was a tour highlight and is one of our favorite memories from the trip! Memorable time in Barcelona with Octavio!

It was a pleasant surprise to have met Octavio, given our original guide was no longer available. Octavio was extremely flexible with our tour, given the day before we had independently visited Park Guell and Sagrada Familia. We had the most pleasant and unexpected tour of our entire Barcelona stay. Complete with recommendations for dinner and things to do in Madrid, our next city, he proved himself to be very knowledgeable on topics of history, architecture, art, food and culture. I was traveling with my seventeen year old son who had a lot of fun talking with him. He boasts Octavio’s tour was the highlight of our Barcelona trip!Exceptional and charmning
