Marta from ForeverBarcelona

Marta

Marta’s story

Hello! My name is Marta and I’m the founder of Foreverbarcelona.com.

My love story with guiding started in 1999 with a summer job when after traveling for a year after finishing college I was hired at the Sagrada Familia church (Gaudí’s Masterpiece), where I was trained to give tours for the special visitors (VIPs, press, etc.) amongst other responsibilities.

In 2000, encouraged by other guides she’d met, I passed the exams to become an Official Tourguide, and two years later I quit the Sagrada Familia to devote to full-time touring. I quickly realized that private tours were my favorite way to show people around: I love connecting with people, sharing my passion and making my guests fall in love with Barcelona.

What we love about her

Marta is as passionate about her job as much as she is in love with Barcelona… and she’ll make you feel that way, too!

After over 10 years giving tours, she’s still enthusiastic about her job (and people rave more and more about her tours!). She’s friendly, personable and fun, but also efficient and responsible.

Knowledgeable and informative, with her you’ll learn a lot… and enjoy doing it!

Her goal is to make you feel at home and understand your needs, so she can tweak the itinerary on the fly and give you what you want.

For all this, many of her guests won’t doubt to count her among the very best tour guides they’ve ever hired. You’ll be charmed by her delightful personality.

She’s an entrepreneur and runs her business and her tours with professionalism. She’s also a foodie, and she’ll be glad to share with you her favorite places to go eat.

Our group of six friends had the best full day with Marta from ForeverBarcelona! We met up with her at La Sagrada Familia where she gave us a tour of the outside and the inside. We then headed to Montserrat where we saw the boy's choir and explored the mountain top. Not only did we learn a lot but we had such fun. Marta was so informative and welcomed all of our questions with a smile on her face. If we had done this day on our own we would not have gotten half as much out of it - don't go by yourself - let Marta lead you through the day. We didn't have to worry about a thing and we enjoyed our whole day - highly recommend!

We used Marta (on the recommendation of a friend) for touring with 2 other friends (also sophisticated travelers) for touring 2 art museums -- Jean Miro and Picasso. Marta was excellent! She knew the museums and the works. In each case she took us around the museums in a way that was not intuitive from their set up to give us an historical perspective of the artist and how his style developed over time. she was able to shift quickly when certain rooms had been changed from her last visit and some works deleted or others added. We could not recommend her more highly!

Marta, the founder and owner of Foreverbarcelona is a tourguide’s tour guide. If you want to ‘experience’ Barcelona in all of its splendor, the apparent and the not apparent, she should be your first choice, perhaps your ONLY choice.

We booked Marta at the recommendation of a friend. We spent 1/2 day with her before we embarked on a cruise. She was wonderful. She arrived on time — early in fact. She talked with us about what we’d like to do and off we went. She has knowledge of the city oozing from every part of her. Her English is impeccable. She had a great appreciation for our time constraints. She has my most enthusiastic recommendation.

Marta is amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Barcelona and everything related to Gaudi. She is easy to be with, fluent in English, flexible, accommodating and client-focused. We spent two days with Marta. We went to Montserrat one day, and on a walking tour of Barcelona the other day. Marta was helpful to us when we had questions before and after our trip. I do think my review does justice to Marta. She is a joyful, competent, confident tour guide who is in love with Barcelona. i have no doubt that you will enjoy your time and everything you learn about Barcelona and Antoni Gaudi from Marta.

We booked a wonderful full day private tour (in English) with Forever Barcelona. Marta was our tour guide, and we all loved her! Her passion for Barcelona was engaging and her knowledge was phenomenal. Also, we could tell she just likes people. This was our first day in town, so at the end she wrote some notes on a map for us and then sent an email for things we may want to see later. Thank you Marta for a great tour!

Marta, the owner of Forever Barcelona, took us on 3 tours last summer in Barcelona: A tapas tour, a Gaudi tour, and a walking tour of the old town. She made all the history come alive as she told us stories along the way. She was fun, spoke English very well, and I will always remember her when I think of Barcelona. Over many years of world traveling, I've only met one other guide of her caliber! Marta was always on time, and while she had the engagement meticulously planned, she was skilled at pivoting when a member of our group of 6 had a specific interest. She coordinated our walks and transportation to accommodate the slowest walker in our group. Marta is a kind and empathetic guide; she was sensitive to the preferences and physical fitness of our group. Marta is AT LEAST 50% of the reason we loved Barcelona so much. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and plan to call her next time we are there. We have recommended her to others!

My friend, Paige, and I booked 2, 4 hour private tours with Marta at Forever Barcelona. The first day we walked around La Rambla, La Boqueria, the Picasso museum and cover the Born, Jewish and Gothic districts. Marta is very knowledgeable and points out so many things to see along the way. Her English is very good and she gave us many recommendations for other sites to see, coffee, gelato, dining, shopping, etc. Day 2 was a taxi and walking tour of 3 of the Gaudi sites - Sagrada Familia, Park Güell and Casa Milà ( La Pedrera). Her knowledge of Gaudi and our discussions really helped us appreciate these sites on another level. We would absolutely recommend Marta and Forever Barcelona for family, friend and couples tours.

We just returned from an incredible half-day, private Gaudi tour. We were a party of 10 (including 4 teens) and had 2 mini vans shuttling us around which made it so easy. Also, all your tickets are purchased ahead of time and you don’t have to wait on any lines to enter once you arrive. We learned so much from Marta - couldn’t have asked for a better guide! We visited Casa Mila, Park Guell and Sagrada Família. She really helped is appreciate all the details, history and insights that we would never have learned without her. Totally worth the extra cost to visit with a guide - makes it a completely different experience.

We did two tours with ForeverBarcelona, Gaudi and Monserrat, and we cannot say which was better as both were excellent. Marta and Miriam were incredibly knowledgable, engaging, and joys to be around. Our three teenagers (18, 18, and 16) loved the tours and remained engaged the entire time. We learned so much more and enjoyed ourselves so much more than we could have on our own. The communication was excellent and the tour flawless. Our group of 7 has done tours all over the world and these rank as some of the best. I highly, highly recommend them.

We had a fantastic private guided tour to take us outside of Barcelona for two days. One day we went hiking in Montserrat after visiting the monastery, followed by a lunch in Monistrol frequented only by locals. The second day we went to Tarragona to see the Roman ruins then followed by a wine tasting in the pennies region. Forever Barcelona was very easy to work with and helped customize our trip. Marta was a fantastic guide and she has now become our friend.

Our day with Marta at Foreverbarcelona was the best day of our entire stay. We got to see all the top sites, and learned SO MUCH about Gaudi and the history of the city, the modernist movement, the culture of Spain at the time, and the architecture. Our day would have paled in comparison if we had visited the same sites on our own without Marta. She wove the whole day into a story that built on itself. I recommend is to wholeheartedly. Save up your money and do the day right, and have your best in Barcelona with the store and Marta at Foreverbarcelona. We will remember this day and tour for years and years to come.

We did the full day Barcelona private Gaudi tour plus a 2nd half day private tour . Our guide Marta was amazing. Her enthusiasm and love of Barcelona & Gaudi helped bring everything to life. She held my 11 year olds interest for a full day & a half! Everywhere we went the people working the sites were excited to see her and it made us feel like we were getting special vip treatment and access. Marta made sure to help us with suggestions and tips for the rest of our stay in Barcelona. She is also a great photographer ...the best family shots we have from the trip were the ones she took of us.

We spent three days with Marta on Forever Barcelona tours — the tapas/Sagrada Famiglia tour, the Montserrat/ lunch in Sitges tour, and the Boqueria/Gothic Quarter tour — and we had fun!!!! Forever Barcelona is a joyful, well-run company. Marta (who owns the company) took us around and really crafted the tours to suit our needs. This was a trip planned for my 87 yr old dad who could not walk long distances. We rented a mobility scooter for him so every tour needed to be fully accessible. They were and my dad was able to keep up even when we explored the crowded Boqueria and spent hours exploring the cobblestone streets of the Gothic Quarter. I’ve been on tours all over the world and Forever Barcelona’s were some of the best. Marta is a great storyteller and her tours are full of history, culture, local knowledge, delicious food, laughter, and delight. Thank you Marta and Forever Barcelona!!!

Marta was an excellent guide. Her love of Barcelona was matched by her knowledge. We felt that by the end we had a really good overview of the city and its history. Marta has made relationships in the city that only a native can cultivate that help to elevate our experience. Our tapas tour was an eating freezy, once Marta saw our capacity we managed 6 restaurants and 20 dishes. It was an amazing evening. We so appreciated that she was able to make changes on the go. 3 different tours with Marta over 2 days helped us to fall in love with Barcelona. You are in good hands with her.

Martha was ready to go, knew everything we wanted to know about Barcelona and the sites we visited. She was super flexible to our wants, and anticipated our needs. I can’t say enough good things about Marta! If you want a great tour given by a great tourguide, this is the place to go!

What a delight to tour Barcelona, focusing on Antoni Gaudi, with Marta from ForeverBarcelona. We zipped through lines, were given a knowledgeable insider perspective on the sites (so expert on La Sagrada Familia), and she adapted our tour to our needs and timing. Our driver was always waiting for us so we never wasted time. She even recommended what we could explore AFTER our tour with her was over AND took pictures of our group. We learned so much and had fun at the same time.

Marta is a delight! Her knowledge is only surpassed by her enthusiasm and passion for her craft. We had a wonderfully day visiting the Gaudi sites and all six of us agree that is was well worth the time and money. I enthusiastically recommend Marta!!

ForeverBarcelona was the best money we spent! We booked two tours -- an evening walking tour and a multi-stop tour a few days later to visit La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. Marta was absolutely incredible and made the tours so fun and engaging for our big group (22 people). I cannot recommend ForeverBarcelona enough!!

We were fortunate enough to have a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide, Marta, who made our experience at La Sagrada Familia the pinnacle of our Barcelona trip. She shared the most amazing details about how it was made, both the inside and outside. She was also kind and fun, and it was the best two hours spent on our vacation. Highly recommend!
