My name is Jonathan, and I am a local host in Barcelona. I love everything about this vibrant city, but what I appreciate most is the fact that you can always find somewhere to enjoy a good meal until midnight - it's a true foodie's paradise! One of my favorite areas in Barcelona is the Gothic Quarter. Its winding streets and stunning architecture make it the perfect place to explore and get lost in. And speaking of food, I'm a huge fan of tapas and gin & tonics, so I know all the best spots to indulge in these local favorites. But don't worry; I'm not limited to just one area of Barcelona - I know most neighborhoods really well, basically the whole city! I can take you to all the main areas where tourists want to see Gaudi's works, including the Gothic and Modernista Eixample neighborhoods. Let's explore Barcelona together and make some unforgettable memories!
Visit Host ProfileFriendly and well-rounded, I mix historical charm with foodie favorites and Gaudí gems to create a laid-back, unforgettable experience.

I am a professional photographer and a passionate traveler who always intends to discover the essence of each city that has the privilege to visit. In the needed to explore the world, I decided to take a break from my job as an engineer and start traveling around the world to enrich my knowledge, meet new cultures and connect with them on a more personal level; some of the places I was fortunate to visit were: South America, Part of Europe, Part of Africa, Southeast Asia, Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and California. After traveling for almost two years, I return to my native country (Spain) with the idea of creating a tourist experience for new visitors to Barcelona, intending to transmit the charm and essence of this city; beyond that, making them feel at home and provide them an unforgettable experience.
Visit Host ProfileRelaxed and insightful, I mix storytelling with street-level discoveries to help you connect with the real Barcelona.
The tapas tour was a phenomenal experience, walking the city while hearing its rich history and of course, the tapas and drinks were adored by all! The best part of the tour was our guide Alf, you couldn’t ask for a better guide and person!!— Patricia , Barcelona
I swapped engineering for a global adventure—and came home to show off Barcelona through a photographer’s lens.

I’ve lived in Spain for almost four years, three of them in Barcelona and one in Madrid. I love these cities and I really enjoy helping others fall in love with them too. I like photography, especially urban, landscapes, and architecture. In my free time I go to art exhibitions (photography and contemporary art). I like EDM and my favourite DJ's are Martin Garrix and KYGO. Usually I read every night: romantic novels are the best ones. Every time a friend visits me in the city, I show around in the best way by exploring the culture, history, and food on foot. That’s what I do when I travel and I know this is the most lovely, amazing way to visit any city like a true local.

I had the opportunity to give more than 400 tours and workshops during the last 7 years to worldwide participants of all levels and ages in the beautiful city of Barcelona. I basically know every street of Barcelona as the palm of my hand :) I love understanding and learning from different cultures. Almost daily I try to be part of the movement of the city, I'm always looking for local, cultural and traditional events and I really enjoy meeting people from around the world. I enjoy music, especially jazz and indie-electro, cooking, and I love good cinema, exhibitions and everything related to arts. To visit natural places, do some sports like mountain bike and to have fun are a must!
Visit Host ProfileEnergetic and engaging, I blend deep local knowledge with a creative lens, making each experience personal, insightful, and full of visual inspiration.
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.

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.

Federico was very knowledgeable about Barcelona. He was friendly and patient with our tour. He made sure we saw the key points but also let us set our own pace.
Wonderful! After a brief intro to Barcelona, Alf took us to our first restaurant, asked about allergies, and our preferences. We sampled several dishes and beverages. We went to a second awesome restaurant for different plates and beverages. Our third stop was for churros for dessert. Alfs goal was that we finished the tour neither hungry or thirsty!
Frederick was knowledgeable and easy to be with. The day felt like we were with a friend who was sharing his city with us.

Anna is a fantastic person and an exceptional guide. She was able to construct a two day itinerary enabling us to see so many amazing sites all around Barcelona! We had prepurchased Passion Tower tickets and Gaudi House Museum tickets that she seamlessly worked into our adventure. My wife and I believe we got our monies worth and then some. Anna has a great personality and really knows Barcelona well. She researches the sites to be visited and has on hand unique facts and addendums to what we visited. After 20 miles of touring we are extremely happy with what we saw and learned. If you are lucky enough to have Anna assigned as your guide, know that you are in for an informative and exciting visit.

Both Anna and City Unscripted were able to accommodate my request of providing a two day tour of Barcelona similar to a tour we had booked through Viator with another operator that abruptly canceled three weeks before the start date after having it booked and confirmed with us for over a year. Anna was fantastic. She met us at our hotel outside the normal pickup zones and spent the two days showing us amazing Barcelona that that we had planned to do on the canceled itinerary utilizing the reserved tickets and time slots we had already purchases for Sagrada Familia and Park Guel. Although the order and the site list were not the usual groupings for tours Anna conducts, she expertly compiled and delivered thorough and extremely interesting itinerary over the two days. We are quite pleased and thankful for all the effort. It was as exactly as we had hoped. Annas knowledge of Barcelona is vast and bountiful. She is very personable and was a pleasure to be with
Alan was so informative pleasant lots of fun anyone who has them as a tour guide would be lucky The best ever.
Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.
