In this completely personalized tour, we will communicate beforehand to discuss your needs and interests to create a customized itinerary which will be a mash-up of your Barcelona bucket list and the top sights and suggestions. The details on this page are just suggestions!

When we meet, I'll be like a local friend, showing you around my city and telling you stories and anecdotes about the city, history, culture, and my local experience. Keep in mind that this is a private experience just for you and your travel party, so we'll go at your pace and anything that comes up during the day we can adjust or modify.

What To Expect

Basilica de la Sagrada Familia

The famous work in progress from Antoni Gaudi and one of Barcelona's iconic landmarks. We will discuss it from the outside and if you have booked at ticket in advance (as we will discuss well in advance of your trip) then you can go inside for a visit (visits are approx. 1-3 hours).

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Parc Guell

Another of Gaudi's famous landmarks which is a fantastical park known for its colorful mosaic tiles. We can walk around from the outside but it is well worth a visit into the monumental part, which is best reserved in advance (also to be discussed upon booking in order to determine reservation details). From the outside the visit lasts around 30 minutes, but if you go inside it's closer to a full hour.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)

Take a journey through Barcelona's multiple layers of history learning about the Roman and medieval histories, cultural legends and traditions, and see how it fits in with the modern elements of present day. Depending on our determined itinerary, we can breeze through a few of the main sites in the Gothic quarter, or we can do an exclusive tour seeing all of the main points. Duration can range from 45 minutes to 3 hours.

All points are without entry fee.

2 hours • Admission Ticket Free

Barcelona Cathedral

This is part of the Gothic quarter. We will definitely stop in front of it, don't you worry! We will not go inside during the tour.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Las Ramblas

This is also part of the Gothic quarter. Just marking so that you know we will be seeing and discussing it ;-)

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Port Vell

Port of Barcelona. We can have a beautiful stroll along Barcelona's port which is one the most important elements of Barcelona's many "cities"

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Parc de la Ciutadella

The famous park in the center of Barcelona. We can have a stroll through the park and visit some of its famous landmarks inside such as the fountain, mamouth, and the Parlament. Learn about the origins of the park and its place in Barcelona's history.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Arc de Triomf

Barcelona has its own Arc de Triumph. Learn about why it was constructed and what it stands for.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Placa d'Espanya

See the famous plaza with many beautiful landmarks surrounding it. You will learn about the history of the various points and depending on the itinerary we will go to visit some of them up close.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Parc de Montjuic

Jump into nature without leaving the city! The famous hill at the side of the city hosts various famous landmarks such as the Castle of Montjuic, the Olympic stadium, and the Palace as well as many hidden gems. We can arrange an itinerary to view the top important spots or to explore it in further detail. Due to the distance from the rest of things, Montjuic usually takes up a bit of time from the day, so the "duration" could range from 1 hour to 4 hours if you want to walk around by foot to various points.

Great day in Barcelona !!

MichaelW10656, 26-11-2022

We had a great day seeing the sites and city with Kimberly along with 3 incredible meals. She did an incredible job sharing with us many of the little know facts of the area and the different places on our tour. She was an outstanding resource while on our trip to Barcelona and did a great job of planning all the details of our day. We would highly recommend a tour (or two) with her on your trip to the area.

Amazing time with Kimberly!!!

My 14-year-old son and I spent a full day with Kimberly doing a walking tour of the Gothic/RavalBoqueria Market/Born/park/beach. Kimberly is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and relayed interesting historic and cultural information in a way that was interesting and hold our interest. My 14 year old son was in a good mood all day and that was truly priceless for me. Kimberly was extremely patient when we needed to make unexpected stops. She was extremely knowledgeable when we had random questions. She definitely made us feel completely at ease. We loved having meals with her and guiding us to the best places to get desserts. All in all do yourself a favor and book Kimberly. She’s a professional, kind and patient. I’d especially recommend her if you’re a Mom travel king with kids. Kimberly took so much of the “work” off of me and allowed me to enjoy my time with my son. So grateful!

Perfect Barcelona tour

This was a great experience! She showed us around a very large area of the City in a day. She took us to a lot of places that would have otherwise missed. There were many details and places that we checked around and also gave us many insider tips. We were a family of 5 including a 5 y/o and 2 teens yet she was inclusive and considerate. She took into consideration our needs and likes. It was overall amazing. I would highly recommend it!

A SigaMiga Tour is a Must Do for Barcelona!

First, I want to say that the tour with Kimberly was fabulous! She is so personable and friendly, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I have been to Barcelona several times prior to this last visit but I was traveling with friends who were visiting for the first time. I thought it would be a great idea to have a personal guide to get a historic and local perspective. One of my friends is particularly picky, so to have her say that the tour with Kimberly was one of the best she had ever been on says something. We chose to explore the Born/Goth/Barceloneta area. Kimberly has a wealth of knowledge at her fingertips about the local history, the best non-tourist spots, and great places to eat. We explored back alleys, small streets, local monuments and had a couple of great meal stops. My picky friend who thought “tapas are just a rip-off” changed her mind after we ate at Bar Jai Ca. We actually went back another time later in our visit at her request! I learned so much that I was able to play tour guide and show another friend, who visited later in the month, some of the interesting places that we saw with Kimberly. During the month I was in Barcelona, I made it to every place that Kimberly suggested. And every one was a gem! I highly recommend Kimberly for your tour. And if you have enough to time, go on a Monday when most museums are closed, you will see more and you will have a good idea of all the places you want to visit later.

A "friend" that is a guide!

Kim was very responsive, detailed in her planning, and very flexible as she showed us around. Even helped with answering questions about places the days after our outing with her. Very much recommended.
