5.00This was my first return visit to Spain after 30 years and my wife’s inaugural experience. This tour was highly recommended and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Despite a slightly delayed start, Lesly our guide made up for it with her energy and warmth. We had a great history lesson on the way to the Cogwheel station to get up to Monserrat and lots of tips on food and gifts when we arrived. The scenery was amazing and we enjoyed the time to explore. The wine tasting and tapas was quite unique and the history of the vineyard, that has been passed down over 37 generations was impressive. Definitely recommended!
Fun, food, and wine at Montserrat

5.00Fabulous day to Monserrat, lunch & wine tasting. Our tour guide Lorena made it fun, interesting & very engaging. We liked everything about the day, including the cog wheel train, Monserrat, visiting the winery & lunch/wine tasting. Fabulous views at Monserrat & the winery. There were 20 people in our group but Lorena made sure everyone could hear all the interesting facts & threw in a few fun facts as well.
