Philippe was a wealth of information and was super engaging with the kids and they loved his tour. He really focused on the children and made it fun for them. I highly recommend him for a family tour. Great Tour guide

We had an amazing walking tour in Barcelona with a guide who really knew his stuff — and knew how to keep us entertained too! He took us around to see some of Gaudí’s wild and wonderful architecture and told us all sorts of interesting things about the city. History, culture and fun facts. It felt more like hanging out with a really smart friend than a typical tour. We learned a lot and saw the city in a whole new way. Highly recommend if you want more than just snapping pics and checking boxes. The tapas was great too.Greate tour 🤩

My wife and three young children really enjoyed our time making paella with Phillippe. He was very friendly and made sure to involve our kids with the meal preparation. The food was excellent and he was very knowledgeable about any topics we asked him about. I highly recommend!Fun experience

Phillipe did a great job engaging the kids. He was professional and funny. We all learned a lot of culture and history. It was fun for the kids using the dragons they found as landmarks when we were out and about the rest of the week. Churros he picked out were superb and even let us stop for coffee at a place he recommended. Wonderful experience

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
