Montserrat Half Day & Optional Sagrada Familia Small Group Tour - This is a great half day tour. Tour much to see in a half day. Recommend full day if your time allows. Will go back for a full day in the future.

Amazing Tour! - Our guide Rodrigo was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories from his own life that tied into the tour information. He also gave us many great recommendations on what to do around the area. Highly recommend going on a tour with him as your guide!

Montserrat - Rod is a great guide. Very knowledgeable. Like the small group tours. Half day was great, but knowing what I know now. Would recommend a full day tour

Exciting views - Our tour guide, Rod, was so knowledgeable, funny, and enthusiastic that made this trip to Monserrat so enjoyable. We lucked out on a beautiful day as well. Definitely recommend adding on the Basilica entrance. Also go early!

A pleasantly surprising adventure. - Our personable guide David, made this tour an adventure through the Country side to Montserrat, then lunch & wine tasting. He was very informative of the Catalán and Spanish history! He was patient with our numerous, sometimes repetitive questions. Lunch was tasty and scenic in the restaurant patio overlooking the vineyard. I was pleasantly surprised by the extent of the wine tour...only expected a tasting. Loved the small size of our group , 8 of us. Would definitely encourage booking this outing.

Terrific solo birthday trip 😁 - This was an amazing trip. This was my second time with David as a tour guide and he is gracious, charming, and fun. Monserrat is incredible. Allot yourself enough time if you plan to walk to Santa Cova--it is a tough uphill walk back but absolutely worth it. We stopped for lunch at Cal Casseles, which was traditional Català/Penedes style. Wine and food paired very well . The winery was Pares Balta and Carlos was great! Very informative and friendly. All in all, this was a great way to spend my birthday and I highly recommend this tour!!

Wonderful trip to Montserrat - A fantastic trip to visit the monastery at Montserrat was made even more special by our excellent guide Rod. His knowledge, not just of Montserrat but the whole of the region, was immense and really helped make the trip special. Rod was very engaging and talked with knowledge on a wide range of subjects as we travelled to Montserrat. The tour there was amazing and not to be missed by anyone in the Barcelona area. Even the inclement weather couldn't dampen our spirits as we walked around Montserrat and visited the Basilica, the high point of our trip. I can't recommend this trip highly enough and really thank Rod for sharing his knowledge with us.
