Delicious day in the heat

5.00We were accompanied by Rebecca as our tour guide today, and we had a wonderful time. Montserrat is beautiful, and is 100% worth visiting whilst in Barcelona. The winery was also picturesque and the food and drinks were really tasty - if anything it would have been nice to have had a bit more time to enjoy the wine bar and courtyard, but overall it was a great day.
Excellent day trip for the whole family

5.00My wife and I had an excellent morning and afternoon on this lovely tour and wine tasting. Yerai was super knowledgeable, friendly, funny and kept the spirits high with his stories, jokes and informational content. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn more about Catalan history & culture outside of Barcelona itself, or anyone who loves architecture and history… plus the views are absolutely unreal. What a treat!

5.00The trip to Monserrat is beautiful and so glad we did this. The travel from Barcelona by luxury bus to the train that took us to the top of the mountain was so scenic. The view from the mountaintop was absolutely breathtaking. The winery tour was also very well done and Our guide Judit was exceptional. Highly recommended while you’re in Barcelona!
Fantastic tour. Would highly recommend

5.00This was a once in a lifetime experience for us. We were very impressed with our guide Thais. She was very knowledgeable of the area and had a great sense of humor. The admission fee for the tour was very reasonable. The atmosphere was amazing. The length of our visit was perfect. The size of our group was manageable. This is one of the best tours we’ve been on.
