Free Tour discover Barcelona as a local
Hello fellow travelers! What can I say about myself? My name in Víctor and I would like to share my love for Barcelona. I want you to understand and enjoy what this city means to most of us. To explore the city like you are part of it. I am someone who has been traveling all my life and therefore understands you. When I have been living abroad I always tried to surround myself with locals and listen to them so I could have a full experience of that place. I have been living all over Europe to finally be back to Barcelona for a while. The city of Barcelona hides many secrets, anecdotes, histories... and I want to share them with you. So don't hesitate and contact me for a fun, cultural and insightful walk around the city! See you soon ;)

Tour description
Modern day Barcelona is increasingly becoming a city focused on fast tourism, which involves visiting commercialized destinations within the time limits and does not provide the possibility of enjoying the destination.
You will suffer no shortage of people trying to sell you things everywhere.
What I want to offer here is the possibility for you to see the city from a local point of view, through the eyes of someone who has spent most of his life walking around the magic streets of Barcelona. The Barcelona of the people.
I will take you through the most emblematic places around the center of Barcelona while telling you the history and anecdotes behind them.
We will start the tour at "Arc the Triomf", we will follow to "Parc de la Ciutadella" to later enter the iconic "Barri del Born" and finally finish our amazing tour at "Barri Gotic" where we will explore all the nooks and crannies of the oldest part of town.
I think Barcelona is a magical place with indescribable beauty.
I don't think much compares to this single place.
And I want to make you feel the same way ;)

By taking a taxi, we made it to the meeting point at 10:01. The agreed time was 10:00. However, Victor did not indicate a specific area at the Arc de Triomf or a sign to look for to identify him as the Guru Walk guide. We walked around the area inquiring from other tour groups. We also sent him messages if he was in the area via the app but never got a reply. We left after waiting 30 minutes.

Really disappointed as we booked this tour well in advance and we were going to use it as a basis to get a better understanding of the city on the first day of our first trip to Barcelona. Arrived at the agreed location 20 minutes before the start of the walk at 4-30. No sign of Victor so we emailed him and messaged Guru Walk and heard nothing other than from a central booking system. We spoke to another person who was waiting for the same walk but this was scheduled to start at 5-00! Complete shambles and a very unwelcome start to our holiday in Barcelona.

Highly recommend this tour. Not only will you see many things, you will get history, geography, and context you will not get elsewhere. Victor was fabulous and you will not be disappointed.

Victor was a great guide and gave a really interesting overview of the Barcelona old town. He shared interesting stories in a way that was engaging and not too dry or information heavy. The whole group was engaged (age 20s to 60s) and we learnt interesting historical and cultural information about Catalonia and Spain in quite a light hearted way - also with photos and maps from a folder which helped to illustrate things for us. My only feedback would be it would be nice for the group to introduce themselves at the start (name, where from) and also our tour went a little under time which was a shame in such a huge city with so much to see and learn :)
