About Artista Tours
Antonio Coman · Founder & CEO
At Artista Tours, we believe travelling is more than visiting places. It's about discovering stories, connecting with people, experiencing cultures, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Our story began in Barcelona with a professional actor, a passion for storytelling, and a simple idea: What if discovering a city could become an artistic experience?

Our Story: Where Art Meets Travel
Artista Tours was founded by Antonio Coman, a professional actor, multidisciplinary artist, polyglot, and entrepreneur with a background in hospitality and tourism.
While working in film and theatre productions, Antonio also worked in hospitality and as a local tour guide in Barcelona. He soon noticed that traditional tours often followed similar itineraries, repeating historical facts in much the same way.
Drawing on his artistic background, he began bringing history to life through theatrical storytelling, emotion, humour, and engaging narration.
The response from travellers was inspiring. His tours became popular, and what began as a creative approach to guiding soon evolved into a bigger vision.
Antonio started developing original itineraries and inviting fellow actors, musicians, theatre performers, painters, and multidisciplinary artists to share their talents and perspectives with travellers.
Artista Tours was born from the belief that artists don't need to wait for their next role to share their creativity with the world. A city can become their stage, and travel can become a form of art.
A Word From Our Founder
Antonio Coman
Founder & CEO, Artista Tours
“As an actor and artist, I've learned that creativity doesn't stop when the cameras aren't rolling or the theatre curtains are closed. Artists have a constant need to express themselves, share their knowledge and emotions, and connect with an audience.”
Guiding gave me that opportunity. The streets of Barcelona became my stage, its history became my story, and travellers from around the world became my audience.
I realised that bringing artistic expression into tourism could create something wonderful: opportunities for creative people to share their talents while offering travellers more authentic, engaging, and memorable experiences.
That idea became Artista Tours.
Today, we're bringing that vision to destinations around the world, but our purpose remains the same: to inspire people through travel, creativity, and human connection.
Because life is art.
Antonio Coman
Founder & CEO, Artista Tours
