A visit to Barcelona will be much more enjoyable and meaningful with an official guide.
WHY CHOOSE A GUIDED SIGHTSEEING TOUR WITH ME?
I am the only native English-speaking official guide in Barcelona and I have specialized in tours for couples, families and small groups. Since qualifying in 1991 I have guided groups from most English-speaking countries and,through interpreters, with dozens of other nationalities.
Guided tours can and should be fun and educational in my opinion. Therefore, as well as learning a lot about Barcelona in particular and Spain in general I hope you will also be as surprised, amused , thrilled and moved by the sights of this wonderful city as I have been since moving here to live and work in 1987.
I enjoy meeting people and the privilege of showing my clients the sights of Barcelona. I divide my time between guiding and the Teaching of English as A Foreign Language to Spaniards of all ages and ranges of ability at the Escuela Oficial de Idiomes in Barcelona Both professions involve providing information and knowledge in an engaging manner and my experience as a teacher has proved invaluable in my work as a tour guide. As a guide and a teacher I believe it is essential to be good at communicating with and retaining the attention of my listeners whatever their age, cultural background and nationality.
Born and brought up in London but now “adopted” by Barcelona, a city I have come to know and love over the last twenty years.
