A huge thanks to our guide Xavi for a wonderful tour of beautiful Montserrat mountains and Cava winery. If you’re coming to Barcelona, this is a must see, that brings the history full circle. One of the most beautiful places we’ve ever had the privilege to visit - simply outstanding experience.
-
Excellent tour of Montserrat and the wine tasting was incredible! Our tour guide Alex was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He made our day very enjoyable. This is a must do trip to get the taste of history, culture and spectacular views of the Catalan countryside.
-
Our guide was excellent and well informed. The ride was pleasant and views fantastic. I enjoyed leaning about the history of the monastery, seeing the church and Madonna, and listening to the choir. However, I did not have the emotional experience I thought I would have; I did not feel moved. Though very good, it was not what I had expected it to be. The winery was interesting, but not the best tour I've ever had in such a place. I would have preferred spending the time in Barcelona, but that might just be a private reaction.

Our group of four really enjoyed the tour Llopart winery! Our tour guide, Raj, was extremely knowledgable, patient and friendly! Also, the wine was fantastic!
-
First of all I booked a private tour and was informed the day before that this was cancelled and we had to share a tour. Not good!!! The guide we had was very opinionated which spoiled the trip For us both. I will think twice about using this service again

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our tour. Our tour guide, Teo, was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating to our very need. He not only showed us the sights, but went out of the way to share recommendations for restaurants and local bars around our hotel. I would highly recommend this tour, and couldn’t say enough great things about Teo!

Was not able to hear boy’s choir sing. Wished we had option to pay extra 15€ to go inside and hear. Wine tour was terrific but we never went inside caves. Edwardo was charming and knowledgeable. He was an excellent guide.

Had such a great experience in Montserrat! Our guide Daniel was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and was able to give us great recommendations during free time. We were a group of 8 and during free time we were able to break into smaller groups based on what we were interested in to see. Montserrat has beautiful views and I recommend taking the gondola up as it is only a 5 minute ride up and you get to see the landscape more intimately. The wine tour was definitely a highlight of the day trip. The wine guide was super friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. He was so entertaining and shot so many jokes but also taught our group a lot more about wine. We are a novice group of wine drinkers and came out with a bigger appreciation of wine. Thank you so much to Daniel and the wine guy! You both made this private tour a 10/10!! Hope to see you both again one day.
