Nu is the BEST!! - Nu was FANTASTIC!! She was super knowledgeable, gave good directions at the tour locations and very personable. I highly recommend her as a tour guide. A d she was a great driver too. 😊

Lovely afternoon! - Location meet up was easy to find. Tour guide was wonderful. Time in the monastery was plenty but we didn’t do the optional add on of Black Madonna. We did a short hike which was busy even early in the morning and mostly uphill but lovely. Lunch was good and very filling. Location was unique and we would have never found it on our own and was surrounded by grape vines for wine. The cava and wine tasting was really fun. Our lunch ran a little over (not the tour guides fault or the other tourists) so we missed a small bit of the winery tour but missed none of the tasting. I felt like the guide at the winery caught us up and made us feel quite at home. We bought some wine to take back to our hotel to enjoy later and wish we could find it back in the states.

Wonderful day full of interesting sights and experiences - very small group- highly recommended - We did this tour yesterday and recommend it highly! Our guide, Berta, was amazing and very informative. We were in a group of 8 which allowed all of us to see and do what we wanted. Trip drive out of Barcelona into the countryside was very interesting and of course the Basilica and associated sites were worth seeing- the size of the group was ideal , allowing us to do a hike while others preferred to shop. The farmhouse lunch was outdoor s in a vineyard and delicious with 4 choices at each course. We very much enjoyed the biodynamic winery tour and tasting. It’s a long day, but all of it very different and special and we give this tour - and Berta- our highest recommendation

Amazing Tour - Berta was an excellent tour guide in this small group experience. Plenty of time given to tour monestary, The Black Madonna, funicular, and shops. Montserrat is spectacular and the farmhouse lunch and vineyard tour were a lovely way to end the adventure. Would definitely recommend.

Strange weather, great guide made up for it - We were fortunate to have excellent weather throughout our trip, except for the day of the Monserrat trip. Rain and the micro-climate of Monserrat created a foggy day. Our guide, Nuria made up for it with an amazing trip. There was some confusion between Viator and the tour company, ‘Explore Catalunya’. Credit to Explore Catalunya, for honoring the promised tour, which led Nuria to be our exclusive guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, but also great to have a conversation with on many topics in Spain. This trip has changed since we originally booked, but the Monserrat + Farm House Lunch + Winery Tour was a fantastic day. We had several day trips during 12 days in Spain. This trip was very close to the top, only bested by Alhambra. Great job Nuria!

A must do!! - This was a must do during our trip to Spain. We met our guides, Xavier and Xavier, at the meeting spot (super easy to find) , then drove in a super clean van to Montserrat with Xavier pointing out different landmarks along the way. Montserrat was beautiful and we were able to see the Black Madonna . We decided to take the tram to the top of Montserrat and then walk to the cross and down, but sadly, the trail wasn’t clearly marked, so we we continued walking down the hill and never saw it. In hindsight, we should’ve walked to the cross from the bottom of Montserrat and back, and then explored the are. Going up the tram really wasn’t a good use of our time, and I don’t feel the views were really any better than from the base. After seeing the BlackMadonna, we had a wonderful lunch at an old farmhouse and then wine tasting at an organic winery. It was the perfect trip !!!

Amazing and well organized - It was a beautiful and well organized tour. It was a small group which was great. Montserrat had amazing views. There was a great balance of learning with the tour guide and free visiting time. The lunch was really good with different options and the winery tour was amazing

Long day- highlights the funicular views, and wine tasting. - The farmhouse lunch was not exactly as we pictured it - though it was at a local area restaurant ( a bit too far from Montserrat), the pork was actually pork hocks with little meat so a proper menu with actual choices described would be better. The winery tour was very good along with charcuterie /tasting and Adrian was a great story teller. The food with tasting was very welcome. Our driver/ tour guide was scary to watch but we didn’t have an accident luckily. We arrived at their office at 8am as requested but were not dropped off until almost 7pm. It was way too long a day for anyone. Our entire group agreed.

Very rushed tour. - Overall the tour seemed very rushed. Although Monserrat was extremely beautiful, we feel we did not get enough time to fully enjoy our time there. Once we took the funicular up to the top we only had a very short time to walk around. Not even enough time to go to St. Michael's cross. We, along with the others on our tour, also purchased tickets to see the Black Madonna and again, doing this made our lunch rushed. Food was average at best. Farmhouse lunch felt like a roadside restaurant. Winery was last. We didn't have time to tour the winery and cellar. We made it in time to only get the tastings. Very dissappointed.

Tour operator charged us extra for what was included on Viator booking - When I booked this tour it included going inside the basilica to see the black Madonna but when we got to the tour operator they said they’ve recently changed the terms and they charge extra for that and charged us 30 extra euros
