TESTIMONIALS

Visiting FC Barcelona. Travel guide Barcelona Testimonial.

A few weeks ago I obtained the Barcelona by locals guide since I really wanted to get off the beaten track this time. As a Barcelona addict, I thought I quite know the city, but you guys made me wander around as if it was the first time! The walking tours are just awesome and gave my love for this city another boost. Thanks Magdalena & Michael, please keep inspiring us!

Visiting Parc Güell. Travel guide Barcelona Testimonial.

Even though it wasn't our first visit to Barcelona, we discovered a whole new side of the city thanks to our 'Barcelona by locals' guide. It took us to places we definitely would have never ended up - and all of them were lovely! You can feel that all places featured in the guide have been selected with lots of love plus it's a real asset to always have your guide with you on your smartphone!

ABOUT US

 We are Magdalena (31) and Michael (31), both from Germany, and we moved to Barcelona in summer 2012 with the initial plan to live in the city for one year. Since then, we have kept on extending our stay by six-months-periods until the day we stopped planning and decided to stay as long as it just feels right.

 

We love doing sports - be it beach volleyball, basketball, running or yoga - and we love exploring new places and trying new bars, restaurants and cafés. With its endless culinary offer, Barcelona is the perfect place for us and this is also one of the reasons why we created the travel guide Barcelona by locals

STORY BEHIND

When Michael left his job in October 2016, we got inspired by Magdalena’s sister to make use of our knowledge of Barcelona that we gathered over the years living in the city. We quickly fell in love with the idea of creating a travel guide to share our local knowledge with a larger audience and help them experience Barcelona not the touristy but the local way.

 

What was next? Endless hours of research, interviews with our local friends, designing our favorite walking tours, many moments of joy and desperation.
