My family hired Cristina for a private tour of Barcelona and Sagrada Familia. She was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and spoke excellent English. We were so happy we decided on a private tour as it felt like we were walking around with an old friend as opposed to someone we just met. I highly recommend!!

Want to live the Barcelona feeling? Ready to experience Barcelona as an insider? Then this virtual tour is for you! Join a very small group from all over the world, just as you would in real life. Great for corporate teams, too! We´ll take you through a day in Barcelona using panoramic images, an interactive map & share our own photos while answering your questions and telling many stories and legends. We´ll start with breakfast in a market hall close to our home before climbing the stairs of Montjuïc where we will enjoy panoramic views. Sagrada Familia is a must see in Barcelona but what about visiting a former hospital close by? It was built in the style of Modernism that Gaudí is famous for. Now we have built up our appetite. Where better to enjoy lunch than in a sea side restaurant! We´ll also visit a spectacular roof top terrace & have a glass of Champaign before we´ll take you to a cozy bodega where Flamenco students perform. Here we look back at our day in Barcelona.

Inclusions: Access to the video conferencing platform ZOOM

Considering most of our photos from our trip were either selfies or single pictures, we opted to book this tour for some couple pictures. We booked this tour a bit last minute and Joan accommodated to our schedule perfectly. Despite having already done two other shoots in the day, Joan was lively and enjoyable. His photography "tricks" and skills encouraged us to be more natural, which resulted in great photos to remember to the experience. He is knowledgeable on Park Guell, Gaudi, and Catalonian subjects (we asked a lot of questions). As a bonus, he gave great food recommendations.

For those lucky enough to make it out alive, you will then head back to the bar for a spooky cocktail and a sample of brain curry. This really is only for the most brave of participants.

My mum and I had the best time with this experience. The walk through the market, picking and choosing the food we were going to cook was fun. We also got to meet other travellers and socialise while eating tapas before we started cooking. The chef was really helpful and enthusiastic which made the experience really enjoyable.
