Hi, I'm Vira.
Born and raised in Barcelona, I’m a qualified tour guide with a degree in Tourism and a passion for art, culture, history and travel. My friends describe me as an open-minded inquisitive individual with a good sense of humor. After living abroad for five years, I kickstarted my guide career 7 years ago. I offer **authentic, tailor-made experiences** that go beyond the usual sights, introducing you to Barcelona’s local culture, hidden gems, food and everyday life. I’ll share my favourite places to eat and explore, as well as lesser-known corners to approach the real local culture to you. Come discover **Barcelona through the eyes of a Barcelonian** — and be warned, my love for the city is contagious! 😉
