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
