Enjoy a relaxing, scenic getaway from bustling Barcelona on this small-group tour to Montserrat, a beautiful nearby mountain. Here, visit the Montserrat Monastery and, if option selected, a boutique historic winery.

Add-On: VIP Winery Experience - Private access to the barrel room with an intimate tasting of extra 3 premium wines. Upgrade your day with exclusive access to the winery's private barrel cellar, normally closed to the public. Guided by an expert, you'll taste 3 premium wines in an intimate setting, including samples drawn directly from oak barrels and large foudres with a traditional pipette.

    Given the cold and intermittent rain, Carlos did a remarkable job of keeping the tour upbeat and organized, despite several persistent stragglers. He knows his job and his voice is clear and articulate. What could have been a disappointing day was quite enjoyable.
