5.00Yerai was an awesome guide for this experience. He was very knowledgeable, open to questions, and a wonderful guide for the whole tour, especially for the Santa Maria de Montserrat and for the wine tasting activity.
Wow what a tour

5.00This was absolutely the best tour I took while in Barcelona. Spending time at the breathtaking Monastery was just the start. We got to visit the local market and purchase locally produced cheese and nuts. But the visit to the winery was the main show. The food was amazing and the wine was exceptional. Then the wine tasting afterwards was amazing. Just knowing the wines were produced right there by the family that has lived on that land since 900AD was unbelievable. Also we had the best tour guide possible. Blue did an amazing job. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. I just can not recommend this tour enough.
Amazing day away from Barcelona city

5.00We took the tour that included the tapas and wine testing and couldn’t be happier. Our guide Yenai was amazing. He knowledge of the local area and his passion really made the trip. We had two small children with us and Yenai made sure they were included and even got that a glass of grape juice in a wine glass at the winery ♥️ Highly recommend
