We had a fantastic afternoon with Pau. He is an incredible guide—deeply knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona and passionate about sharing it. He met us promptly at the cathedral and led us through the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter, highlighting both iconic landmarks and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. One of the most memorable stops was the peaceful Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, where Pau shared its moving history. We also loved visiting the historic café Els Quatre Gats, a favorite of Picasso’s, which gave us a real sense of the city’s artistic soul. Later, we took a break at a very local spot to enjoy rich coffee, thick hot chocolate, and freshly made churros. Pau made the city come alive for us, and this tour was the perfect way to begin our time in Barcelona. Highly recommended!

My family and I had a great time on this tour with Jonathan. We have done many different city walking tours and this one was more like ‘walking around with a local friend’ than a specific scheduled tour. Johnathan shared a lot of information of different architecture, restaurants, and back alley ways that we would have likely not ventured down on our own (not due to safety, but because we would have likely never found them!). Thanks a lot for the great tour and for making our time in Barcelona a memorable one.

Lee, Nov 2024

Isabelle was a knowledgeable and kind during our entire tour. She really listened to what we wanted to see in Barcelona. She stopped in cute shops that were historic and even explained to us about some of the food and candy. We really enjoyed our tour.

David, Oct 2024

She included major attractions, but also included cultural and historical information we found very interesting to learn. She kept a good walking pace, not too slow or fast.

Nina, Oct 2024

It was a wonderful 4 hours with Isabel exploring many areas of Barcelona. We walked exploring both popular and little known areas and the history of the area. I would definitely recommend City Unscripted for a local tour where I was able to set the pace and we were able to make changes to the itinerary when needed.

Hi, I’m Julio

Hello, my name is Julio.

Discover more about me

I’m a born and raised Barcelona local who loves the incredible diversity this city offers—from medieval neighborhoods and Roman ruins to Gaudí’s modernist landmarks and contemporary architecture like El Fòrum. You can experience the buzz of a big city and still enjoy a peaceful walk in Montjuïc or Tibidabo. I’m especially fond of off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods like Sants, where I live. To me, this is the real Barcelona—full of local markets, independent bookshops, cafés, and cozy squares where locals gather for tapas and drinks. Just nearby is Poble Sec, one of my favorite districts. It’s a creative, vibrant spot where you can find vegan burgers, Spanish wines, charming streets, art galleries, and the beautiful Mercat de Sant Antoni, a modernist market where locals shop and enjoy food right at the counter. Everyone knows the tourist landmarks, but I love helping visitors experience the city through a local lens. If you’re curious to discover a more authentic side of Barcelona—without the crowds—I’d love to show you the places that truly capture its spirit and everyday charm.

Here’s how I can help make your experience unique.

I love to explore

  • Local cuisine & fine dining
  • Art galleries & creative spaces
  • Scenic parks & garden strolls

Hi, I’m Vanessa

I studied Art History at the University of Barcelona (UB), and I coursed the last year of the degree at the University of Parma (Italy), a lovely place where is produced the famous Parmigiano cheese!

Discover more about me

When completed the degree in Italy I came back to Barcelona, but shortly after I decided to move to London (UK) where I lived for a year and a half enjoying a vibrant city full of art! When I moved back to Barcelona I worked in art galleries and museums, like the National Museum of Art of Catalunya (MNAC), and the contemporary art museum CAIXAFORUM. During the year 2006, I passed the exams and became a Licensed tour guide. Since the first day, I love my job! Meeting new people, connecting with them, and sharing my passion and enthusiasm for the arts. Making the customers fall in love with Barcelona and wish to come back soon is my objective! Even though I am specialized in arts, I love to know and let know what's going on in the city! I'm flexible, and quick to pick up new skills. Ready for the fresh new restaurants and best places for shopping, but also the most traditional or authentic places, those hidden even for many locals! I live in the heart of Barcelona (just 2 min walk from the Picasso Museum); I was born close to the land that inspired Joan Miró (south of Catalonia); and I Love to spend many weekends in the Empordà, north of Catalonia, where Salvador Dalí was born.

We really enjoyed it and he helped us even after the tour find places to eat based on his local recommendations. Give them a try they were great for us

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.
