- About the Founder – Maria Carmen Barrera
Bcityng was founded in 2020 by Maria Carmen Barrera, a licensed guide passionate about Barcelona, Catalonia, and cultural heritage. Born in the historic village of Cardona in 1988, Maria Carmen grew up surrounded by nature, medieval architecture, and Catalan traditions, inspiring her lifelong love for arts, history, and culture.
She began her tourism career in Barcelona, gaining experience in various cultural and visitor services roles before completing an Erasmus program in Tuscany, Italy. She is officially accredited by the Generalitat de Catalunya, the regional government authority, to guide in Catalan, Spanish, English, and French.
Maria Carmen studied Occupational Therapy for three years, a background that deeply informs her expertise in accessible tourism. She specializes in wheelchair-friendly and adapted tours, ensuring every traveller, including those with limited mobility, enjoys seamless, comfortable, and memorable experiences in Barcelona and across Catalonia.
During the COVID period, she expanded her knowledge with professional sommellerie courses, developing an extensive understanding of Catalan wines, DO regions, and boutique wineries. This allows her to offer exclusive wine tours and tasting experiences that combine culture, gastronomy, and luxury for wine enthusiasts and food lovers.
With extensive experience in tourism, Maria Carmen understands travellers’ needs and delivers personalized, accessible, and culturally immersive tours.
Before Bcityng, she ran Cool Tours Barcelona (2014–2020), offering walking tours, bike tours, food and wine experiences, and chauffeured trips throughout Barcelona and Catalonia.
Following the challenges of 2020, she recognized the need for a new, refined brand focused on luxury, accessible, and immersive guided tours. Bcityng was born, committed to providing exceptional, fully adapted experiences for all travellers.
- Our Mission:
At Bcityng, we aim to create lifelong memories through curated, immersive guided tours. From private Barcelona tours to full-day Catalonia adventures, we ensure every experience is exclusive, educational, and unforgettable.

"We booked this bike tour online for our Barcelona stop on the cruise. Our family of seven – 5 adults and 2 teens – had an amazing day. Maria, our guide, was super enthusiastic and knew so much about the city. The route was beautiful and fun, and everyone loved it. Definitely a highlight of our trip – we’d book again in a heartbeat!"
"This was a perfect way to start our Barcelona adventure. Very informative and engaging, the guide made history fun even for our kids. Our group of eight learned so much about the city’s origins and saw all the highlights of the old town. Worth every penny and a great introduction to Barcelona for families and cruisers alike."
"This was hands down one of the best days on our cruise. The guide and driver arrived on time at our hotel. The guide was attentive, knowledgeable, and just lovely. The tour was perfectly organized and so much fun. Montserrat was incredible – the views, the mountains, the Abbey perched on the rocks – unforgettable. A must-do if you’re visiting Barcelona!"
"La Sagrada Familia was breathtaking, and the tour made it even better. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of interesting stories. She answered all our questions and gave the right amount of detail without rushing. This tour really brought the city to life – we loved every minute and would recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona."
"We can’t recommend this tour enough! Our guide was fun, spoke excellent English, and made the city come alive. In just 3 hours, she showed us hidden corners and famous spots, sharing stories we would never have found on our own. Barcelona is incredible, and this tour made it even more special. Truly a memorable experience."
