________________________________________________________________________

I am originally from Oklahoma City. My father was from Albany New York and my Mother was from Toledo Spain. While I have been coming to Spain to visit relatives all my life, I decided to move here in 1992.

Showing people my city and country is a joy for me. The history and art of Barcelona are very interesting. That is why I explain what is going on and what went on so you can appreciate what you are seeing. Also I try to give you a feel of what society is like now in Spain. Barcelona has so many different itineraries to chose from; Roman, Medieval, The Jewish Quarter (Call), Art Nouveau, Olympic, Shopping, culinary or night life, just to name a few. As your own local guide I am flexible to your wishes and needs. Making it interesting and enjoyable for you is my wish.

Stay tuned for updates to my profile and sightseeing tours.

We were a group of 10 who were in Barcelona for a day tour off a cruise ship in December 2012 and utilised the services of Anthony. He was on time picking us up from the arranged location and the bus he provided was spacious with huge windows, allowing plenty of unobscured vision. Our tour was a trip to the Montserrat Monastery and a tour of tourist sites in Barcelona. Anthony was an excellent guide, knowing so much about local art and being an ex pat from USA, he speaks perfect English

Tour Guide Comment: Thanks Russell et al!

This was our first stop in Spain. We were extremely happy to have this guide. Anthony was very friendly and fun to be with. He was patient and he paced our tours very well. Most of all we were extremely pleased with his depth of knowledge of the city of Barcelona, its history, its character, its neighborhoods. He has an amazing depth of knowledge of art, architecture, and history. I wish we could have had even more time together, and I highly recommend him to other visitors.

Anthony was an excellent guide and knew many stories to tell. We were a group of four adults and three children aged 8 and 11 and he also clicked with the children. Entering with a guide, we were able to bypass long lines at the Sagrada Familia. For lunch, we went to an authentic restaurant and he made us try local specialities. All in all, we can absolutely recommend this guide! Thanks Anthony!

Tour Guide Comment: Thanks so much Juliene. It was interesting talking about the similarites and differences between Catalonia and Mallorca. Your friends from Oklahoma were very nice too.

Carrie D. 01 Jul 2011

From the moment we met Anthony, my daughter & I 'clicked' with him. He was welcoming and fun and

so informative! He proudly showed us the history and beauty of Barcelona which of course, included

the many treasures left by Senor Gaudi.

He made us feel welcome and comfortable and was clearly proud of his hometown. The information he imparted to us flowed naturally from him.

We will certainly recommend Anthony to anyone we know who visits Barcelona.

Anthony was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Equally important, he was able to impart it to us. We will use Anthony on our next trip to Barcelona and recommend him highly to anyone visiting there.
