A private Jewish guide in Barcelona

Jewish tour guide in Barcelona
Hello and welcome! My name is Yan.

I was born in the largest city in the world north of the Arctic Circle, a place with no sunlight during winter days and no darkness during summer nights. I grew up in Israel. 

I am a tour guide, educator, and professional artist specializing in artwork and event photography. I offer private tours of Jewish heritage and secular sites in Barcelona and Girona.

The tours are conducted in collaboration with Chabad Barcelona. My details are listed on the Chabad Barcelona website as well as on a Jewish Europe platform that I represent in Barcelona.

My mission is to share Jewish history through meaningful, educational, and personalized tours. I can also be your photographer during your tour, if you’d like to preserve your family’s memories. 

I would be honored to help you experience Barcelona and Girona in a way that feels thoughtful, smooth, and meaningful.

The benefits of hiring me:
  • I am reliable and easy to work with 
  • My expertise comes from several years of research into historical documents, including these from the Archive of the Crown of Aragon and the Archive of Girona. And from 15 years of living in Barcelona. You will gain insights you won’t find in guidebooks.
  • Unlike standard city tours, I offer a fully private and personalized experience. Your safety and privacy are my top priorities.

  • You can have pro photos created to keep lasting memories.

  • Your kids will be engaged in discussions, provided parents and kids are comfortable with it.

  • You can receive advice on hotels, kosher food, safety, and itinerary.

  • With hundreds of tours delivered, I can accommodate almost any situation.

  • People with limited mobility get extra time at no additional cost. 

  • Your booking gives you access to exclusive offers, free delivery, and 10% off my Limited Edition artwork, if you ever decide to decorate your living or working space with a piece of my artwork.

With me, you can:
