5.00Wonderful tour. Mayi was knowledgeable, funny, answered questions and was personable. She kept us on schedule and gave us sufficient time on our own. Accommodating my gluten free was easy for me. Recommend for a day trip.

5.00Excellent experience overall. Ivan was very a very knowlegeable guide and also very funny! We don't normally do guided tours but glad we made an exception for this, it was well worth it.
More than a monastery tour.

5.00I enjoyed the talks on the bus giving historical background to Barcelona & the monastery. And small group tour inside the monastery provided context to the whole experience. Be prepared to walk.. lots of elevation on the little hikes but the views are worth the effort and truly amazing. Rebeca our guide was confident, knew her stuff and incredibly helpful and courteous, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this trip.

5.00Our tour leader was a nice young lady (now I can't remember her name) who did an excellent job. She was smiling and happy and very willing to take pictures for the group and recommend places to eat. She was very informative and put Spain and especially Catalonya in a very positive and loving light. She was a pleasure and a treasure. I did not choose the wine tasting/lunch option.
Great tour

5.00Youri was our guide. He was fantastic. We did the full day and wine tour. The tour and Monserrat was amazing. The winery was average at best if you’re a wine connoisseur. But the views beautiful. I’d recommend this 100% but would skip the wine portion. Youri was the best guide we had all week. Great personality and full of energy all day!
