My name is Jarrod. I'm originally from Australia but have been living in Barcelona since 2003. I've been a Tour Guide in Barcelona since 2015. I consider myself to be fun, happy, hard working, sociable, adventurous, and honest. I always try to adapt my tours to customers interests to ensure that it is the most enjoyable that it can be. I like to add a little bit of humour too ;-). I will give you as much local infomation as I can to ensure that you get the most of your time in Barcelona. One thing I love about being a Tour Guide is that I can have a positive impact on someone's Barcelona experience. It also makes you realise how many wonderful people there are in the world. :-)

Tour description

Get ready for an unforgettable guided tour through the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. I will present to you more than 2000 years of history in an informative but fun style hitting all major sites and attractions including:

The Jewish Quarter
Plaça de Sant Jaume
Plaça Sant Felip Neri
The Cathedral (outside only)
Plaça del Rei
El Born
Santa Maria del Mar, and more.

The tour will be structured in an easy-to-understand and chronological way that will enable you to walk away with a good insight of the fascinating history of Catalonia and especially Barcelona.
You'll hear about myths and legends as well as many cultural and historical facts as we meander through the small streets and admire the impressive architecture. I'll take you to the most interesting 'off the beaten track' parts that most people miss out on seeing when they wander on their own.

We'll be in a small, sustainable group which will enhance your experience while respecting local day-to-day life in the city. We'll have time to get to know each other along the way as well as a taking a pit stop for coffee, snacks, and refreshments.
Our journey will end in the El Born neighborhood which is one of the best areas for food and drink in Barcelona and a great place to spend time in after the tour.
Approximate duration: 2.5 hours
I look forward to offering you local advice on places to eat and things to do which will enhance your time in this magical city. I invite you to make a reservation for my tour and allow me to help you make your time in Barcelona the best it can be. See you soon! :-)
