ABOUT US – BE LOCAL TOURS
Experience Barcelona like a true local.
Be Local Tours is a collaborative project of local guides offering special tours and experiences. Our journey started in 2017, when we joined together to show the city’s beauty to visitors . And yet, we were concerned by the growth of tourism in Barcelona.
So, we decided on a different path. A path which took into account the visitor´s right to travel and the inhabitant´s right to live in their community. And this led us to: The Small Group Philosophy.
On our part we emphasize private tours and experiences, with limited group numbers. We only work with small, high-quality independent local artistic and cultural providers- and only those who share our desire for respectful tourism in the city.
So, our tours and experiences allow for a more personal, intimate relationship between visitor, guide and local provider: for more time to get to know each other, to acknowledge the cultural habits that make us different, but also to see and participate in the things that we have in common. In other words: To Be Local!
Travel deeper. Travel better. Be conscious, be authentic. Be Local.
