    An excellent day out with our superb guide, Yerai. He really made the trip with his knowledge, enthusiasm and humour. The visit to Montserrat was truly stunning and the wine tasting and tapas lunch was much better than expected. A very good and worthwhile day out.

    Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful (thanks Ivan!). He was friendly and knowledgeable, had great stories and explanations without being boring. I had a moment of misgiving when we arrived at the bus station: I saw a large bus and thought it was a small tour. This company is so well organized that they put 3 groups on one bus for the driving portions, and then we broke off with our guides for Monserat and for the winery. We would have liked a little more time to explore Monserat, but we got the highlights. Thanks to a recommendation we were able to taste local snacks at a pop-up farmers market. The winery was beautiful, the wine and food very tasty. We had a very diverse group age wise and Ivan kept things interesting for everyone.

    Check in was easy to find & quick. The bus ride to Montserrat had great AC, a wonderful driver, and our hosts gave a brief overview of Barcelona history. We had an informative tour at Montserrat with enough free time to explore on our own. We did the tapas / wine tasting option & it was another short bus ride that was well coordinated and smoothly transitioned to the winery where we learned about 3 wine & had the opportunity to add an additional during free time before we traveled back to Barcelona. Montse was our guide- she was funny, organized, gave great information and was very knowledgeable. The group of guides clearly work well together and i would recommend the experience!

  • Must see the experience, great tour guide and company

    Montserrat is a must see when in Barcelona. This trip had a nice bus with air-conditioning out of the city, then a nice train up the mountain. Our tour guide Mayi was very kind, knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend! One thing to point out in the Basilica, there is a separate line and ticket to get closest to the Black Madonna. We didn't know this and were frustrated with that. But just sitting in the church and saying a quiet prayer was such a special moment. You can still see her, but I would have loved to pay my respect even closer. We did the wine tasting and tapas portion at the end. I highly recommend that as well. Very generous plate of tapas and good wine!! The winery was the most beautiful I have been in!!
