Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a fantastic evening with Elena learning all about flamenco and attempting to learn how to play the castanets! It felt like a ‘behind the scenes’ experience going into the flamenco school and seeing where the students practice and using one of their rehearsal rooms to try and learn the castanets ourselves. Elena was a great teacher (even though we were not great students 😂🙈) and it was such a unique experience. Following our lesson, we attending a flamenco show with dinner and we had such a greater understanding of the art of flamenco than we ever would have without spending time with Elena! If you are looking for a unique experience during your time in Madrid, we highly recommend you spend an evening with Elena learning about the history of Spain through flamenco! 💃 "
"Du hast nichts über Flamenco und die Geschichte der Zigeuner gewusst, bis du einige Stunden mit ihr verbracht hast . Sie nimmt dich mit in ihrer wundervollen Energie und betreut dich ganz persönlich auf Ihr professionelle und liebevolle Weise. So fühlt sich Leben an . Danke Maria"
"Wir waren in einem kleinen Lokal, versteckt in triana. Erlebten dort eine sehr engagierte authentische Flamenco Vorstellung. Es gibt sicherlich perfektere Tänzer und Sänger, aber die Herzlichkeit dieser Aufführung ist sicherlich erlebenswert! "
"We really enjoyed our time with Maria. She is a great ambassador for Flamenco. She had many great stories and details about the history and tradition of the art form. We loved all of the delicious tapas that she chose for us. But of course the highlight of the evening was the Flamenco show in a wonderful, intimate setting. My sister and I will never forget the experience. Thank you Maria!"

Flamenco is a powerful art form rooted in the history of Andalusia. Its origins trace back to the Gitano (Romani) people of southern Spain, blending their culture with Moorish and Jewish influences.
True Flamenco is more than dance. It's a trinity of 'cante' (song), 'baile' (dance), and 'toque' (guitar). Each part tells a story of sorrow, joy, and passion, creating an unforgettable experience.
In Seville, authentic Flamenco is found in 'tablaos' and 'peñas'. Locals gather in these intimate venues, often in the Triana district, sharing tapas and wine while artists pour their souls out on stage.
'Duende' is the soul of Flamenco. It's an untranslatable term for the profound, goosebump-inducing emotion that grips performers and audiences during a powerful performance. It's a feeling, not a technique.
The Triana neighborhood, across the river from Seville's main tourist area, is considered one of the spiritual birthplaces of Flamenco. Many famous singers and dancers were born and raised here.

"Maria was a great and informative guide. Enjoyed learning the history of flamenco and the local area. She was an excellent performer as well. Really enjoyed the performance, it felt very personal and moving. The tapas bar were a great way to introduce us to the local culture and food scene. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants an a unique and personal experience."
"Our experience with Ana on the Granada Full Experience: Alhambra, Old Town, and Flamenco tour was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, Ana’s deep knowledge, passion, and warm personality made this tour a highlight of our trip. The visit to the Alhambra was mesmerizing, and Ana brought its history to life with fascinating stories and insights that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Exploring the charming streets of the Old Town was equally magical, as she led us through hidden corners and shared local traditions. To top it all off, the evening flamenco show was an incredible way to immerse ourselves in Granada’s vibrant culture. Ana’s recommendations were spot-on, ensuring we had the best seats and an authentic experience. If you want to truly experience the soul of Granada in one day, this tour is a must! Ana is a phenomenal guide who goes above and beyond to make every moment special. Highly recommended!"
"I had an amazing time with Maria. I booked the course and show just for myself and had seen a Flamenco Show in Granada before. So when sharing her knowledge of Flamenco with me in the beginning, I had so many questions, Maria was patiently answering. After coffee we went to a dance studio and in her very enthusiastic and charming way, Maria taught me some Flamenco moves. With her very lovely and kind way; she made me feel very comfortable, altough I am not usually into dancing or very talented in it. But it was so much fun and I could have probably spend the rest of the night with her at the Studio practicing! After, we went to see the Flamenco Show, which was absolutely fantastic and Maria explained interesting facts about the artists and show. We finished the night with a lovely dinner at a local tapas place. Thank you so much Maria! I had the best time and I do see the art of Flamenco with different eyes now! "
"Maria er en herlig dame med god formidlingsevne både om historie og i dans. Vi hadde en annerledes og fin kveld i hennes verden."
"Terrific evening with Maria! Such a talented performer who gave our family personal attention in explaining flamenco, leading us through a demonstration and then front row seats at a performance. "
"We had a wonderful evening with Maria. She gave us a great history of where and how flamingo dancing started over coffee. We then went to her studio where she showed us the basic techniques of flamingo and how the dancer, singer, and guitarist communicate with each other. We then had front row seats to watch the show. Highly recommend this experience!"
