Real Flamenco in Barcelona
"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. "

Perfect night at the Flamenco show
"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."
