S Jones, Middlesex, England - Nov 2013 Flamenco Guitar Lessons And Spanish Course

If you do the flamenco guitar course make sure you take advantage of going out with the group and tutors on the Monday evening because you will see a part of Seville not accessible to regular tourism. Steve


S Furber, London , UK - Aug 2015 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

Amazing experience! I was the only person on the beginners' course, and ended up having one-on-one tuition. The school is very well-organised and provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in flamenco culture. I felt like I had been transported to another world.


m watkins, Melbourne , Australia. - Aug 2015 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

These folks are great. My experience was enlightening and jam packed. Never played flamenco before and Francisco is an amazing player and a great teacher,i got a great deal of learning from him. I hope to go back in the future for a follow up session. If you have an interest in flamenco guitar i highly recommend this school.

R Tromans, London, United Kingdom - Apr 2015 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Fabulous!


M Sung Hae Talor Min, London, U.K. - Jan 2015 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

i was lucky enough to take a flamenco class during the off-season with carmen. i was the only student! i was surprised they didn't cancel the class for lack of students, but so glad they didn't. carmen is a phenomenal teacher who is kind, caring and patient. maria angela in the office was also sweet and gave great suggestions for flamenco events throughout the week. i am looking forward to returning to sevilla and taking another class at taller!

Reply from Supplier: Thanks also to you for choosing Taller Flamenco. Hope to see you soon. Take care and have a great time


M Golden, Rickmansworth, England - Oct 2014 Weekend Flamenco Dance Lessons

An amazing experience. Everything, and more, I had been hoping for. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in flamenco dancing. All the dance staff were warm, welcoming, professional, and very talented. Loved it, --- thank you. Mary Golden

Reply from Supplier: Thank you Mary! We hope to have you back again in future! Keep dancing!


M Miss Chia-yu Yang, Manchester, 英國 - Oct 2014 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

Very fulfilling learning experience. Enjoyed the course a lot!

Reply from Supplier: Thank you! See you again!


A Evelyn Richardson, Lincoln, England - Aug 2014 Weekend Flamenco Dance Lessons

The tutor was sensitive and patient and timed the session effectively to fit in the completion of a dance. Learning in Spanish was fun and straightforward in spite of my basic level.


M CETIN, ISTANBUL, TURKEY - Jul 2014 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

Thanks for all things. We enjoyed this holiday in spain in order to learn flamenco dance.


H Jones, Sleaford, England - Jul 2014 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

Absolutely fantastic! I am so glad I did it. Had the best holiday ever, learnt so much and had loads of fun. Everyone in the course was so friendly. Flamenco dancing is so much fun, never done it prior to the holiday. If you are in doubt about doing it, just do it, you won't regret it - I didn't!

Reply from Supplier: Thanks a lot Helen !!! Hope to see you again. It was fantastic to meet you Best flamenco regards, Eukene


V Gaio, Chur, Switzerland - Jul 2014 Flamenco Guitar Lessons And Spanish Course

It's been a week since I'm back from Sevilla. Everything was just perfect - I love it. I would recommend it to anyone who's interested into flamenco. I will do it again.


S Small, Southampton, UK - Apr 2014 Weekend Flamenco Dance Lessons

A great experience. You need some Spanish for the classes


A Sherris, Old Town, Isles of Scilly - Mar 2014 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

comprehensive routine and teaching methods worked well for me even though my teacher spoke no English. Will book again for sure in the future.

Reply from Supplier: see you again then! Glad you enjoyed!


S Sherris, Old Town, Isles of Scilly - Mar 2014 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Very good overall experience and would consider booking again

Reply from Supplier: thanks! Hope to see you back!


L Allen, Penryn, England - Sep 2013 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Thank you so much- wonderful experience in a beautiful city at a great price! Within a few days, I felt like I was even living like a local due to the accommodation.....all went smoothly, from airport pick up, checking in, lessons and accommodation.......Gracias :)


M Sara Sikorski, Allston, USA - Aug 2013 Weekend Flamenco Dance Lessons

The lesson was in Spanish, which I wasnt expecting, but it seemed to bother the instructors more than me. There was a delay in receiving instruction since I had to watch others put it in action and the instructors singled me out for this which was uncomfortable. I asked them to stop but did not.

Reply from Supplier: We are really sorry you did not enjoy. We receive students from different parts of the World and some do not even speak English, therefore the official language is Spanish. However the language is not a problem usually, nor a barrier. We are sorry you felt this way.


K TOMIYAMA, Kawasaki-City, Japan - Aug 2013 Flamenco Guitar Lessons And Spanish Course

I had a wonderful time! My teacher for the flamenco guitar was really nice. Staff were also friendly, and it was a good thing that they organized a party at a near by pub on Mondays to let students get know each other. Would love to do it again!


D Fraser, Cambridge, UK - Jul 2013 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

Office staff were efficient and very friendly with information on lots of things to do and opportunities to meet other students. I was given individual language lessons when it became apparent that I was a different level from the two others in my class.


D Fraser, Cambridge, UK - Jul 2013 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

There were five people on my course - all had done probably between 1 and 2 years flamenco in their home countries. The course was OK for a complete beginner, but you would feel more confident if you had had a few lessons back home. I was the only English speaker in class - the teacher spoke very li


K Farrell, Cambridge, UK - May 2013 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

wonderful atmosphere at the school. it would however be useful to have a separate class for people who have done a lot of dance in the past although not specifically flamenco who can learn at an accelerated pace. allround quite enjoyable.


m mancini, london, united kingdom - Dec 2012 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

I had a great time etc, but would have appreciated being told that there would be no class on new year's day as that interrupted things for me...but overall a good experience, and you guys were very helpful all along...i can highly recommend the hotel san gil which is a 5 minute walk from the school

Reply from Supplier: We're so pleased to hear you had a great time on the course! All of the dates this school is closed can be found under the 'course overview' tab under the heading 'public holidays', but I am sorry you did not see this before you arrived. I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay regardless, and we look forward to seeing you another GoLearnTo holiday soon.


M Jane Won, Cobham, United Kingdom - Oct 2012 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

The season that I happened to go during was very slow so it was a bit lonesome being the only one taking courses. I wish I had been forewarned that I'd be alone for most of the course.


M Ella Auzins, Victoria, Canada - Sep 2012 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

It would have been nice to be notified that the family that I was staying with did not speak any English.

Reply from Supplier: Thanks for your review. The apartment owners don't always speak English and although there may sometimes be other students of the Flamenco school staying there that do speak English, it is not guaranteed but all hosts do try to communicate as best as possible despite the language barrier. Your comments are noted and we will endeavour to place future students with English speaking owners where possible.


M de Meijer, Te Awamutu, New Zealand - Sep 2012 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

overall great and valuable and relevant points o fimprovement could be around bringing individual learners together so they can exchange experiences etc (although this happemns anyway in an informal way)

Reply from Supplier: Dear Marco, that´s why we always organise a Monday meeting with other students. Nice to see you back. Best regards, Taller Flamenco


Z Gilly, Rockaway, USA - Jul 2012 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

The staff were extremely friendly. They offer flamenco guitar and dance lessons at every single level and they are very passionate about what they do. They are flexible and organized at the same time. The customer service of GoLearnTo.com was great, I would do the whole trip again.


a andrew, bartlesville, USA - Jun 2012 Flamenco Guitar Lessons And Spanish Course

a "five star" experience all the way. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly people all the way. More than met my expectations.. thank you!


I Sen, Cernay, France - Feb 2012 Flamenco Guitar Lessons And Spanish Course

An excellent and inspiring first taste of Flamenco for our 18 year old. He loved the guitar lessons and tried hard also to make progress with his Spanish (not his favourite subject at school!). The holiday was a great experience for him. Thank you to all the team at the school.


j hampton, St Martin de riberac, France - Apr 2012 Weekend Flamenco Dance Lessons

A thoroughly good course, in fact the tutors worked students harder than expected which was really beneficial. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Hope to repeat next year. Recommend highly!


M Tom Deutsch, Renton, USA - Apr 2012 Flamenco Guitar Lessons And Spanish Course

The learning workshop of the school in Seville Spain met or exceeded every hope and expectation I had for the trip/learning experience. I would give them my highest recommendation.


, Lancashire, United Kingdom - Feb 2012 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

Even though I was an absolute beginner to Flamenco (with very little Spanish either!), I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The teaching was of a high quality, and the support staff were really helpful too. There was a chance to meet up with students on different courses at the school (e.g. guitar, compas y palmas) and we had a few evenings out over the week. The insider's view of Flamenco, with local spots off the tourist trail was a highlight. The tapas and coffee on Alameda de Hercules were great, too! The only thing I'd say is I wished I'd got some Flamenco dancing shoes with nails in the heel and toe, for maximum noise when stamping (of which there was a lot!) There are lots of places in Seville to get them, and the school has discounts with quite a few places. A great week - and sunny and warm during the day in Feb, too :)


M Matthew Saltz, Athens, United States - Jan 2012 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

I didn't speak any Spanish and my teacher barely spoke English, but that didn't matter. He was great, the class was really fast-paced and difficult but I enjoyed it and learned a lot.


B Ziackova, United Kingdom - Jul 2011 Flamenco Guitar Course

The accomodation provided through the school was fantastic.


N Harrison, Oxford, UK - Aug 2011 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

this was a great course. the facilities could be improved as floor space was limited, but the teaching was first class


W Labuschagne, Ramelton, Republic of Ireland - Apr 2011 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Amazing Holiday. Thank you very much. I struggled a bit with the language, but that was expected. I also met some nice people on the course. One thing I would suggest is that the guitar instructures provide you with TAB after the lessons, so that it makes it easier to remember, the amount of info


m Aileen Tierney, greenford, England - Mar 2011 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

a fantastic learning experience with positive tuition interaction in a new skill, flamenco guitar ,and the spanish language , intensive in the best way and a unique experience for me, fantastic!


P Grant, Reading, England - Mar 2011 Flamenco Guitar Lessons And Spanish Course

I enjoyed the overall experience. I thought Lito was an excellent guitarist and a very good patient teacher. The thing I would most change was the accomodation. I hadn't realised that I would be renting a room in a couple's flat, which was awkward. Had I known that I would have booked a hotel.

Reply from Supplier: Thank you Paul. We are sorry you were no happy with the lodging, next time just ask us which kind of shared lodging you would prefer and we will do our best to please you. Take Care


c waller, tavistock, United Kingdom - Feb 2011 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

My teacher was undoubtedly excellent, but he moved a bit fast for me and my Spanish wasn't good enough to change this. I had a great time all round though. I wish I could have stayed longer.


w reeder, preston, england - Jan 2011 Weekend Flamenco Dance Lessons

The experience exceeded all expectations. I am a Dance teacher and was most impressed by the standard


T Pearson, Milton Keynes, UK - Nov 2010 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Absolutely superb! I would certainly recommend Flamenco and golearnto. Particular thanks to Lito Espinosa my guitar tutor who taught me a great deal in the week I was there and is a superb guitarist. Sevilla is a wonderful place for immersing yourself in flamenco. I will be going again!


S Procter, Cambridge, United Kingdom - Nov 2010 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

Really enjoyable class. Though the teacher didn't speak English the class was easy to follow. I went for 1 week but wished I could have stayed longer.


R Sterner, Novato, USA - Sep 2010 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

A great class! The instructor was professional and not only gave dance instruction, but gave background on flamenco origins. A wonderful experience.


G Beggs, carrickfergus, northern ireland - Aug 2010 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

excellent course,all the staff are very helpful and friendly. my teacher Manuel was a really good teacher, gave me a choice of what i wanted to learn, tabbed everything, and let me record the lessons. I will definitely return soon for longer, a week isn't long enough!


Z Elliott , Cheshire , UK - Aug 2010 Beginners Flamenco Dance and Technique Course

I have just returned from my week in Seville doing a Spanish and Flamenco course. I had a fantastic time and could not fault any part of my time there. It was an experience of a lifetime.


W Sheikh, Horsham, England - Apr 2010 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Hi, setting up the course with Golearnto was easy and then the course itself was highly enjoyable and I really feel like I learnt a lot from my tutor ("the Flea"). Thank you!


M Ayeb, Geneva, Switzerland - Jun 2010 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

It was one of my best trips: - the trigger was the person who was available on the messenger to help, assist, advice and recommend. Response rates are very high and very quick Everything was as discussed, no surprises, smooth, nice school. It was just perfect. Thanks


E Bell, Sheerness, Britain - Apr 2010 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

What a wonderful experience this has been! The staff at the school were very kind and helpful and tried their utmost to answer all my questions. My teacher Manuel was superb and managed to communicate what i had to play in a simple and straightforward way. I was also very impressed by the fact that he tabbed all of the lessons for me and even recorded the songs so i can practise them. Lessons progressed at a suitable pace and i was given the choice of flamenco styles i wanted to learn. This course has certainly inspired me to continue studying flamenco guitar and I shall seriously consider taking more classes in the future.


N Ward, Tring, UK - Mar 2010 Flamenco Guitar Course

The course was a lot of fun and I learnt a great deal. I would recommend, however, that you know a little bit of Spanish if you are thinking of taking this course.


P Cousins, London, UK - Jan 2010 Flamenco Guitar Lessons And Spanish Course

I did not have a guitar with me, but I was told I could borrow one from the school. I thought this meant to take to the accomodation with me. Unfortunately this was not and I had to use it only in the school. This would have been ok, but the school kept closing at different times in the afternoon.

Reply from Supplier: Thanks for your feedback Peter, sorry but guitars cannot be taken out of the school as we have many other students who wish to borrow guitars for lessons that run throughout the day.


P Hurford, Farnham, United Kingdom - Jan 2010 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

My tutor spoke no English. While they were very friendly and undoubtedly a fine guitarist,the course was more them showing me how things could be played rather than addressing my ability (or inability) to play myself. To be honest I was quite disappointed and could have gained as much from a DVD.

Reply from Supplier: We are sorry that you were disappointed we would have been happy to help with translation if you had raised your concerns during your stay. As we teach artistic forms the student and teacher communicate through demonstrative techniques and very basic English which usually poses no problems, sorry again.


D Ugur Algan, Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom - Oct 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

really good, pleasant, would love to do it again!


B Swiffen, London, England - Oct 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Very enjoyable experience. Ideal way to combine holiday with flamenco guitar lessons as school and accomodation right in centre of Sevilla, a beautiful city. Lessons were very good and teacher spoke pretty good english. Highly recommended to take a camera to video the lessons.


M CIOFFERO, NEW YORK, USA - Oct 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

I had a great experience! The staff was very, very helpful. I had fun and learned a great deal on the trip. I would recommend Go Learn To to anyone.


S Ledwick, Brentford, United Kingdom - Sep 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

My landlady was sweet but we didn't communicate well so I was never really sure what I could and couldn't do. The Prommised Flamenco night out on Monday was just a drink in a non Flamenco bar.

Reply from Supplier: Reply from school - thanks for your comments. Monday night is a social outing for students, it's not usually Flamenco based and we promise a social event not a flamenco event. The main idea is for students to meet others at the school in a relaxed environment so we usually head to a bar for drinks a


S Ledwick, Brentford, United Kingdom - Sep 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Two comments My landlady was sweet but we didn't communicate well so I was never really sure what I could and couldn't do


M Mike Bessant, Bristol, United Kingdom - Aug 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

I really enjoyed my guitar lessons. The lessons have inspired me to continue learning to play flamenco and to listen to the various master players. My teacher, Lito, was extremely patient and provided just the level of challenge I needed. Many thanks - I hope to come back again for more!


E Bossard, Helsingoer, Denmark - Aug 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Great learning experience. Lito is a super teacher and flamenco player.


A Pietri, Paris, France - Jul 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

This was among the best holidays Ive ever had : golearnto’s staff was very competent and friendly before the trip, then everything went very well there: very high quality for the guitar lessons (I’m advanced level so I know what I’m talking about here), and great staff. I will go back there asap.


M Jerome Fracheboud, Belfaux, Switzerland - Jul 2009 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

Great experience! It is useful to bring a video recorder along, because it might be difficult to read the tablatures afterwards. The teachers are very good. Sometimes they could insist more on the technical aspects, especially the right hand technique, which can be very different from other guitar


B Dunphy, dublin, ireland - Sep 2008 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

no printed tuition material was provided to the student to use outside of class and after the course which would have been a great help

Reply from Supplier: Thanks for your feedback, we will look into the feasibility of providing students with printed materials if requested.


S Steinar, Kopavogur, Iceland - Jul 2008 Flamenco Guitar Lessons

un vacacion estupendo! voy a volver el proximo ano
