Phillipe was an absolute amazing flamenco dance teacher. We left his class with a deeper appreciation for the history of flamenco and an admiration for the style of dance. It was such a fun class, and he definitely goes the extra mile. Highly recommend taking a class with Phillipe!Flamenco Dance Class

I am a fan of trying things for myself - this way i appreciate the art better, be it dance, activities or other creative art. Philippe was hands on and structured the lesson around our level of understanding and ability. I would recommend this particular lesson to anyone who wants to feel what's it like, to dance a flamenco. All of my friends and colleagues keep asking me about this - i know who i shall recommend. Thank you very much, Philippe, you are an excellent teacher! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and a memorable afternoon! Proper way to appreciate the dance

I had a private flamenco lesson with Phillippe and had an amazing time! He makes delicious sangria, is a wealth of knowledge on so many different topics but especially all things Spanish, is a fabulous dancer, instructor, and just a fun guy to hang around with. You won't regret booking time with him!Phillippe is a treasure

Before our recent trip to Barcelona I decided to look for something fun and different for my group of 8 to do. I came across the With Locals website and found a Flamenco class. I contacted Philippe to ask if he could handle a large group and he was quick to reply that he could. After speaking with the rest of my party we decided to try it out. Wow! We met Philippe at his home which has huge floor to ceiling windows and is filled with sunlight. We were greeted with a glass sangria to help loosen us up and ease any dance jitters and he began telling us the history of Flamenco. Philippe is friendly and cheerful and clearly a professional dancer. (He is also an artist as you will see from his artwork) One look at his calves and you can see the hours he’s put into his craft. The class was great fun and by the end we had laughed as much as we danced. I highly recommend this class as a fun activity for any and all age groups. Philippe is patient and kind. It was something we’ll never forget! (I can still hear him say “pasada, sevillana”) Thanks for a great afternoon Philippe! More than a flamenco class

Everyone goes to Parc Guell and La Familia Segrada as did I and loved them. But not everyone gets to have Flamenco lessons with Phillipe. He is the real deal and had some humor but also compliments for our lack od dancing abilities. He was interesting to talk with and learning about how dance and life imitate each other was better than churros and chocolate;). I liked seeing the neighborhood as well. Keep going all the way up the hill and you get the best view of Barcelona! Thanks Phillipe! Something off the beaten path

Learning Flamenco with Philippe was one of the best experiences so far! We had so much fun and we laughed a lot. It was my first time ever learning Flamenco and he was very patient and kind. He made me feel comfortable and confident to dance and truly feel the Flamenco! Thank you Philippe :) Amazing Experience

We gave as a present to my partner a Flamenco lesson with Philippe. This was the best choice we could have made! We can highly recommend it! Philippe picked us up punctually from the metro station and directly brought us to his amazing dance Studio, located at the quaint district of El Carmel. Dancing was extremely fun and Philippe really made sure we learn, enjoy and feel what Flamenco and Sevillanas are about. We had very nice vibes with him and were really happy and satisfied after the lesson. Philippe also provided tasty Sangria, a Flamenco dress and answered all of our questions. Next time we come to Barcelona, we would love to get a second lesson! :) Maren & Jacob Great Flamenco/Sevillanas lesson!

My girlfriend wanted to experience something different, and when we heard that Philippe is a professional dancer and teaches flamenco, she knew she wanted to try. Philippe is an excellent teacher, he made her try out 2 different styles, and finally she was even able to dance the first sevillana with him. It was a wonderful memory. We also enjoyed the home made Sangria. Philippe is very friendly and knowledgeable.The Art of Flamenco: Dance Workshop with a Local

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!

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!

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

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!

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!

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 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!
