Guide Bio
Begoña: Working as an official licensed tour guide in Barcelona since the year 2000. I’m in love with this great city. Passionate about art, history, food… and as a former au-pair and Disneyland Cast Member I’m so happy and it is a pleasure to be the guide of families.
Carolina is a native of Barcelona and has a degree in Tourism. She speaks English, French, Italian, and she is now learning German. She is most enthusiastic about art and architecture.
Albert was born and raised in Barcelona. He holds a degree in Law and is fluent in English and French, as well as Spanish and Catalan. He is passionate about history and sports and well versed in political and economic affairs. He has been a guide in Catalonia since 2003.
“There were 7 in my group. We toured Segrada Familia. It was outstanding from booking to completion. Begona was our tour guide and was waiting for us (I was 10 min early) at the appointed spot. Imagine my delight when we walked past the long lines of people waiting for admission. Skip the line, is the way to use your travel time efficiently. Begona, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly with a great command of English. We selected to tour the inside and the Passion Tower. The inside is magnificent, but so much better, by hearing from Begona the history in the building and evolution. The views from the Passion Tower were outstanding. One in our group has bad knees, so Begona stayed with him. My point is all do not have to tour both sites. In addition, Begona took our group pictures and gave us an excellent lunch spot recommendation”. Franz Z. July 19, 2016
“Albert with Skip the Line Barcelona was great. He was informative and flexible helping us make the most of our tour. I highly recommend getting a private tour of this site. Without it we would have missed so much. Thank you!” Marrholly. July 19, 2016
As seen on Tripadvisor: “There is so much to see and a private guide is worth the money to understand this fascinating building. The exterior has so much detail and symbolism and Carolina explained this to us. Upon entering you are standing in a masterpiece. We were told about the methods and ideas Gaudi used. We were told the story of Gaudis life and shown his process of architecture and creation of his inventive buildings. Visiting Sagrada Familia would not have been nearly as interesting without a guide. It is money well spent – hire Skip the line, and that is what you do, pass the line waiting and get right in.” Ann B. November 3, 2016
“Begonia was such a great guide! Full of local knowledge and such a warm personality. Skipping the line was really helpful, and the cost was perfectly reasonable. We all had a great time. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to any and all!” Sean M
