MORTOUR GUIDES was born from a simple idea: traveling well is understanding a place. My name is Moisés, founder, and since 2014 we've been creating tours that combine history, culture, and everyday life in destinations like Barcelona, Seoul, Malta, and Vancouver (and more along the way). What makes us different? Two formats for you: comfortable and enjoyable free tours for a first impression, and carefully designed private tours for those seeking their own pace and special details. Professional guides in Spanish and English, passionate about telling stories with rigor and closeness. Intelligent and lively routes: neighborhoods that awaken, squares with secrets, local flavors that only the locals know. Our goal is simple: for every traveler to take away great memories and a new perspective on the destination. Come with us and discover the world with a clear narrative, a pleasant pace, and that local touch that makes the difference. ✈️🏛️ — Moisés Redondo, founder
