We had a wonderful time with Phillipe . He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Flamenco dance. He gave us a lot of information about the dance before hand and it really helped to understand and appreciate what was going on. We went to a smaller very local show and it really made the experience enjoyable. We would highly recommend Phillipe.Perfect night at the Flamenco show

A lifelong professional dancer , Philippe made our Flamenco experience memorable. Afterward, we had a late dinner (for us) and discussed Spanish politics and Harry Potter. Very interesting fellow. Great Guide

Every traveler yearns for that unique connection with the country and culture they visit. Philippe provided a once in a lifetime experience for us with his Barcelona Flamenco Tour. He set us up with an in-depth historical perspective, then he shared with us the music, passion, and rythmn of Flamenco. By the way, Philippe is a professional dancer and that helped to take us even deeper into Flamenco. The Palau he took us to was in a residence built in the 1600s making our evening more authentic. The performance was unforgettable. We all left wanting more. Philippe was the star of the evening, open, engaged and passionate he happily answered all questions about culture, life and countries. Philippe is an excellent guide and host. I highly recommend him for your Barcelona experience. Real Flamenco in Barcelona

This was a family vacation. Philippe is very knowledgeable, informative and passionate about Catalunya. We received a great overview of the area and also learned about Three Kings day. He was at Green Bike well before the tour began and gave us his full attention. We appreciate Philippe coming out during the Spanish holiday! The bike tour allowed us to see a lot of Barcelona. We always felt safe under his direction and the city is set up for bicycling.Would do it again.

Philippe provided us with a customized tour that enlightened us with Catalan and Barcelona history and cultural background. I asked a lot of questions and he eagerly answered all. He communicated ahead of time and provided his contact info in case we could not find him. All went very well and we are very pleased with our experience.Philippe Provided A Great Experience

We did a private walking tour focusing on Barcelona history with Philippe. He was happy to shape the tour around what we wanted to see and learn. Philippe was very knowledgeable and fun to walk around town with. He was also able to give us recommendations on other sites we were interested in and things/places to avoid while there. Great tour!Great tour with Philippe!

Phillippe was a great guide. Sharing lots of information and local knowledge in ways that engaged and challenged our kids. The result was a fabulous afternoon exploring and learning all about Barcelona’s Gothic quarter for all the family. A great guide for all the family

Mille mercis à Philippe pour son accueil chaleureux. Nous avons préparé avec lui du 'pan con tomate', une paella et une crème catalane. Les enfants ont passé un excellent moment et nous aussi. Le repas était délicieux et le contact avec Philippe hyper facile et agréable. Une belle façon de découvrir un pan de la gastronomie espagnole. Allez y les yeux fermés (et la bouche grande ouverte !) Genial ! Nous recommandons !

What a guy, gave a great tour, really knows his stuff, he can change it up based on your knowledge, I know a fair amount about the civil war and I learned a lot more. Had to cut it short as it was chucking down but no worries. Highly recommended and Philippe is a genuine smart and interesting guy. Knowledgeable & Super Friendly

Philippe took us on a walk about the Spanish Civil War and its impact on Barcelona. After meeting at Font de Canaletes, We roamed down Las Ramblas and off into side streets and laneways that we would not have found ourselves. A passionate advocate for Barcelona, Philippe gave us a perspective far greater than from a book. The time went too quickly for our group of 5. Thoroughly recommend this walk and guide.Engaging & informative walk with a local

Our group of 4 was treated to a wonderful walking tour of Barcelona with a focus on Gaudi from Philippe. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and took us to wonderful places. After Sagrada Familia he suggested a fantastic spot for lunch near Sagrada. We will recommend taking a tour with Philippe to all our friends & family and will book again next time we are back in Barcelona. Thank you Philippe!Gaudi & Barcelona with Philippe!

It is a great way to learn about this amazing city and Philippe will impart invaluable knowledge introducing you the many historical and current facts pertaining to the city.Informative, engaging and interesting

Whitney🇺🇸 United States

Philippe provided intriguing stories about Gaudi, interesting information about the history of Catalunya, and helpful insight into the culture and perspectives of the locals. We appreciated that he pointed out the highlights of the Sagrada Familia that we should not miss before we went in for that part of the tour. The bike ride was lovely and a really fun way to get around the city. Philippe has a wry sense of humor and liked questions and banter. We would definitely recommend him as a guide!Great Tour for Gaudi and Much More

We had a fabulous tour with Phillipe who was so knowledgeable and fun. He had our 10 year old twins completely engaged and we couldn't have had a better time. He also gave us great recs for the rest of our time in Barcelona. We highly recommend. Amazing from start to finish

Ilene🇺🇸 United States

Philippe was terrific! We were in Barcelona for the first time and Philippe immediately knew us as far as what areas of the city would interest us while still sharing the history of Gaudi, Barcelona, and Spain. He gave us different perspectives of the culture. He was kind, and patient. True Local Experience

We are a family of 5 from Hong Kong and enjoy learning something from the locals every time we visit a new place. We found many good reviews of Philippe's private 2hr cooking class but we thought 2hr might be a bit too rush if our children want to enjoy plenty of cooking as well as a good moment for all of us to enjoy the meal together with Philippe. I communicate with Philippe and am glad that he is responsive and is willing to accommodate our needs. We did a 3-hour session of a traditional Catalan home cooking, including pa amb tomaquet, padron peppers, tortella de patatas, paella and crema catalana. It was a great fun for our children. Philippe was very thoughtful, carefully balancing the time needed for cooking and a pace which the children can enjoy themselves in the process. It was a big portion for all of us and Philippe was impressed that we can finish the food and nothing went to the bin. (to readers: be reminded to go with an empty stomach) Philippe had also shared his life and adventure with us during the meal and we appreciate our great time with such a nice person.A wonderful experience of Catalonia

Not much more to be said that hasn’t already been raved about. Philippe was a wonderful host to myself, my wife and our 5 year old. His home is beautiful, an alluring layout that is tastefully decorated. As for Philippe himself, he was patient, kind, and encouraging to our child, who is usually quite shy. The icing (or fire in this case) on the cake was our son learning to use the blow torch for the Creama Catalana caramel. Definitely a highlight of the trip! A MUST when in Barcelona

Lia

11 August 2024

The class felt rushed, kinda of aggressive, not geared towards children or families ( philippe actually said the class wasn’t for children) even through that is in the title of the class. He made our entire family feel uncomfortable. His home where you cook was so hot we would barely breathe. Never offered us water. Then rushed us out minutes before the class was up. He also seemed that this was just something he does vs. bring remotely interested in cooking or any background in culinary at all. I would not recommend taking this class. Not exsctly a comfortable environment

We had such a great time on our tour. For the adults, Philippe provided lots of interesting stories and history about Barcelona and the areas we walked. For the kids, he kept them interested and entertained searching for dragons and talking with them. Everything went smoothly and 3 hours felt so short! Great experience!

Erin🇺🇸 United States

From the start, Phillipe treated us as old friends. With just two of us, we felt we received a plethora of information and knowledge of what we toured/visited. The time spent was filled with not only the history of Barcelona, but also local tidbits, personal conversations and even recommendations of what to visit/eat during our stay. Wish we could take Phillipe along with us through the rest of journey!A terrific experience!

Just right amount of information. Not too much. Not too little. Not too academic, not too simple. Just right. And he listens to the questions we ask.Great guy. Great tour guide.

Thomas🇺🇸 United States

Philippe was the best! He did not give a standard tour guide spiel but went into issues in depth, carefully listening to our questions and comments. We especially loved his input on Catalan independence/autonomy and the Spanish Civil War, topics which most tour guides (and most Spaniards?) would avoid. We felt like we spent the morning with a good and knowledgeable friend. Thank you, Philippe!Thank you, Phillipe!

Philippe was incredible! He planned a wonderful walking tour and pointed out so many little details I would have never seen on my own. He was amazing & so knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona. He gave great recommendations & I only wish I'd had more time in the city to see and do even more.Amazing guide & so knowledgeable!

Philippe made our trip. He is such a knowledgeable guide, giving not only my wife and I but our 9 & 13 y/o sons lots of fascinating facts about Barcelona's history as well as the Catalan culture. My 13 y/o son had Fideuà as per his suggestion and loved it. My 9 year old can't stop telling people the difference between Japanese & Chinese dragons - 3 or 5?!? We all enjoyed a cup of the best hot chocolate ever at Museu de la Xocolata too. Overall, Philippe kept us all thoroughly engaged throughout the whole tour. If you want to experience the best parts of Barcelona, get in touch with him 👍Amazing guide for an amazing city

Find out about the political nuances that the city and region are plagued with told in an engaging and accessible way. This tour is fantastic if you want to go deeper than just food, Gaudí and shopping. It was utterly fascinating and Philippe is a fantastic guide. We are normally the ones asking loads of questions and he had answers for (pretty much) all of them.deeper appreciation of a spectacular city

We had such a great time with Philippe! He was flexible with some travel issues, greeted us and had a blast cooking and getting to know him and more about Barcelona. He took to the kitchen with our 3 kids and was so engaging while we enjoyed Sangria. Would recommend to anyone! Pan con Tomate and Paella are new family favorites! MUST DO Experience in Barcelona!

We choose the dragon-tour as we have a 5YO and Philippe made the tour exciting for him and us at the same time. When the 5YO got too tired/hungry/warm to continue, Philippe quickly changed focus and made sure that the remaining part of the tour was interesting for an adult and a 16YO. This was a really good way to see Barcelona and learn about it’s historie at the same time. Always go with Philippe!Best experience of our stay
