Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My girlfriend and I had a great dancingnight with Gonzalo and his wife. They took us to a dancing place in Gracia. We had our first lesson in bachata and salsa with a couple of other people in the bar. We learned the first basics of bachata, also as a couple. Contact with Gonzalo and Rebecca was easy and nice. He also advised us about other dancing spots we can use the common days. We had a great first experience with bachata :)"
"Gonzalo planned a wonderful night for our group of 6. We had tapas at two different out of the way places with traditional vermouth drinks, stopped by a bakery for pumpkin empanadas and, after a basic Bachata and Salsa dance lesson, he and his girlfriend Rebecca, accompanied us to an intimate bar to try out our newly learned dance skills. Food was fantastic and dancing was so much fun. I highly recommend this outing for a group or couple. We made memories that will last a lifetime❤️ "
"We had a great night with Gonzalo and Rebecca learning Salsa and Bachata. We arranged the experience as part of a hen party and it was definitely a highlight of our trip. A fantastic night, would highly recommend. "
"We had a nice time with Gonzales and his girlfriend going to tappas bars and a salsa club. The only remark I’d like to make is that I expected a professional dancer ..... and what we got was a fun evening with a nice couple who like to show guests around and enjoy dancing. I think this should have been better clarified. Also the price for something nice but amateur should be different. "

"Great night. Very good fun. "
"Had an awesome evening with Gonzalo learning the salsa moves. Would definitely recommended this experience. His knowledge and experience was valuable! Great experience. "
"Gonzalo is not only a fan but also an organizer and preacher of Latin dances. I still remember when you brought us to a competition of Salsa, that night I was deeply attracted by the fancy dance. You organized the Kizumba beach, which was a lot of fun to dance and beach lovers. You also teach very well, and you are always patient with us beginners. The most important is that you showed me the spirit of dancing is not to reach a high level, but to enjoy the moment. Gracias por enseñarme la maravilla de baile Latino!"
"The evening was awesome for our four tenage granddaughters we brought to Barcelona! Gonzalo has a warm welcomg personaity and is very attentive to his dancers! His girlfriend was fun and helpful. First we learned the steps, and then we went to a typical small Barcelona venue to dance with the crowd... all there to share dancing and fun together. It was a great night for us all! Hedria USA"
"Gonzalo and his girlfriend Rebecca were excellent teachers and guides to two inexperienced dancers. Gonzalo explained what to expect and has a very warm and welcoming nature. We had a fun filled night of learning and highly recommend Gonzalo and Rebecca as teachers to those who are looking to have an amazing experience. "
