About us
Eduardo Maturana
Founder and CEO Barcelona Oculta Tours
I am a computer scientist, I have worked as an IT HelpDesk consultant for different companies for more than 25 years, and since 2010, due to my interest in the mysteries that magical Barcelona holds and the love I feel for the city, I have dedicated myself fully to the world of tourism, founding Barcelona Oculta Tours, creating various routes through the city, participating in the guided tours of Open House Barcelona, and working as a freelance tour guide in Barcelona.
I have lived in Barcelona for more than 21 years. This city has captivated me from the first moment and that passion is what I want to transmit to all those who visit us. Discovering new secrets every day, I have a lot to offer to any tourist who visits it.
I am currently the CEO of Barcelona Oculta Tours and I am dedicated to managing the website and communication with clients who require our services.
Olga Ponomarenko
Official tourist guide of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands
The work of a guide is my great passion. My professional goal is to provide the participants of my tours with an unforgettable and enriching experience, helping them to discover the beautiful and emblematic places and see them with different eyes, from a historical and cultural perspective, beyond the typical postcard view.
I have a varied experience of 15 years as a tour guide and group escort in Spain and Russia. I am an official tourist guide in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. I currently live in Barcelona and offer tours in Spanish, English, French and Russian.
Born in St. Petersburg and with a degree in English Philology, I studied at the Barcelona School of Tourism. I have also taken several courses in Art History, tourism and languages, including “Futurisme” from the Barcelona Provincial Council (a course for entrepreneurs in the sustainable tourism sector), as my job requires ongoing training.
I invite you to take part in the exciting cultural adventure that is the guided tours and excursions of Barcelona Oculta Tours!
