5.00This is a fantastic tour! Keep in mind that you’ll be going up and down a mountain by bus, but the views are absolutely breathtaking. Monserrate is stunning, especially the church—I loved every part of it and can’t wait to go back. The winery was fabulous, and the wine and tapas were delicious. Our tour guide, Yerai, was wonderful—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of interesting information. If you want to spend a relaxing and unforgettable day, this is the tour for you!
