Barcelona,
Made Personal
Private experiences designed around your interests, your pace and the way you love to travel.
DESIGN YOUR EXPERIENCENot just a way to see Barcelona.A way to feel Barcelona.
Barcelona is more than the places you came to see. It’s the stories behind its streets, the flavors you discover along the way, the conversations, and the unexpected moments that stay with you.
At Volarte, we take the time to understand how you travel. Then we create an experience around you — your interests, your rhythm, your curiosity — so Barcelona feels less like a destination you visited and more like a city you truly experienced.
Barcelona, Your Way
Whether you have a few hours or several days, we’ll help you make the most of your time in Barcelona, with private experiences thoughtfully planned around you.

Juliana Gómez Ríos · Founder, Guide & Concierge
I’m Juliana, the founder of Volarte. Originally from Colombia, I spent six years in Paris before making Barcelona my home.
My background in languages and sociocultural studies, along with a master’s in French literature from the Sorbonne, shapes the way I bring places and their stories to life. With nearly two decades in tourism, I’ve found that the moments travelers remember most often begin with a story, a conversation, or an unexpected discovery.
I created Volarte in 2018 to share the Barcelona I know and love, with the warmth of showing a friend around. Today, I personally plan each visit and work with trusted local guides, bringing together thoughtful details, cultural insight, and time to enjoy the city at your own pace. I can also arrange transfers and restaurant reservations, so you can simply enjoy your stay.
In Our Travelers’ Words
