I am a dedicated professional tour guide with 16 years of experience in the tourism industry. I am an avid traveler who has dedicated my life to seeing the world, seeking out new experiences, and learning from different cultures. I hold two degrees – a Masters in French Literature from La Sorbonne University in Paris and also a degree in Languages and Socio-Cultural Studies.
I began my work as a tour guide in Paris with a multi-national tourism company where I was quickly promoted to focusing on training other guides, in addition to providing my own tours.
After six years in Paris, I fell in love with Barcelona during a summer trip to the city. I soon thereafter moved to Barcelona where I now call home – and where I started guiding with the goal of providing my guests the most exquisite, personalized and unforgettable tours possible.
It is truly my passion to reach deeply into my knowledge of the art, culture, history and cuisine of Barcelona to give my guests a full understanding of Spanish culture from the unique perspective of a local.
Please wear comfortable shoes.
If you are looking for an exclusive, small group tour, Julianna is the guide for you. We took a detailed tour of the Gothic Area one day and then the Eixample the other. Each day included a detailed description of architecture and historical events. This really brought the area to life. I cannot express enough the level of detail Julianna provided. Julianna was responsive to text and email. She provided great recommendations for Tapas and arranged tours within the tour, such as La Sagrada Familia. I highly recommend booking a tour with her.
Dear Larry, Thank you so much for your positive review. For me it was an absolut pleasure to guide you and your lovely wife through the wonders of Barcelona. You were both amazing guests and I truly enjoyed the couple of days that we spent together in the city. Wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon in Barcelona. Juliana
We had an absolutely amazing time exploring Barcelona with our guide, Juliana! From the moment we met her, her warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease, and her passion for the city was evident. Juliana’s extensive knowledge of Barcelona’s history, culture, and hidden gems made our tour truly unforgettable. She took us to all the iconic landmarks, including the breathtaking Sagrada Familia and the vibrant Park Güell, but what made the experience extra special were the off-the-beaten-path spots she introduced us to. Juliana’s storytelling brought the city's rich history to life, and her recommendations for local restaurants and cafes were spot on – we enjoyed some of the best meals of our trip thanks to her suggestions. Juliana was incredibly accommodating and tailored the tour to our interests, ensuring we got the most out of our time in Barcelona. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her attention to detail was impeccable. We felt like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. If you're planning a visit to Barcelona, we highly recommend booking a tour with Juliana. She turned our trip into an extraordinary adventure, and we can't thank her enough for the wonderful memories we made. We look forward to returning and exploring more with her in the future!
Dear Samir, woooooww! I have no words to express my gratitude for your amazing review. For me it was a huge pleasure to guide you and your wife and share those 2 days in Barcelona with you, I enjoyed every second of it. Reading reviews like this make me love my job more and more as for me the most important thing is the happiness and satisfaction of my guests. I am very happy to know that you truly enjoyed your experience, and I will love to see you again in here if you come back to Barcelona. Best regards, Juliana
If you like culture, arts and gastronomy, Juliana is the guide for you! My wife and I spent 2 wonderful days exploring the different sides of Barcelona with Juliana - La sagrada familia, Gaudi (Modernism architecture) and the Gothic Quarters. Her knowledge of the city, its history brings you back to a time before what Barcelona is today. She allowed us an intimate peek into the gastronomy of the city when she hosted a private lunch by a local chef couple at their home near the Picasso museum. We are indeed privileged to be able to spend quality time knowing about the Catalan history and culture. Thank you Juliana for making us fall in love with Barcelona. Mucho gracias. Winston & Khin
