Great day - The bus ride was comfortable and we learned some Barcalon history along the way. We had Carlos as our guide. We really enjoyed him. He is very knowledgeable about the whole vineyard life in Barcelona, and it was interesting.

Phenomenal - This tour was exceptional! Our guide, Yerai, was very knowledgeable about the history, culture, and traditions. He brought so much passion helping our group explore and understand the story of Montserrat, as well as the wonderful people from this community. The wine tasting and tapas was held in a castle located in an area with 2,000 years of wine making history. This experience was unforgettable! We are grateful for our guide, Yerai, for his enthusiasm and great energy! Highly recommend this visit!

Montserrat was wonderful thanks to Mariana - Mariana was our guide and all I can say is that she was fantastic! Not only did it make the tour go super fast but it also made it super enjoyable thanks to its beautiful way of being and character. Thanks to her my family and I enjoyed this tour like never before. If you can ever choose any particular Guide please choose Mariana as you will not regret it, unless you hate laughing all day.

Glorious Montserrat - Amazing views with sharp outcroppings! Cog railway was fun. Enjoyed the free time and walking path. MJ was great showing us around town and giving us a tour of the Basilica. Short bus ride to the winery. Pol was very knowledgeable and engaging. Lunch at the winery was good surrounded by people from many different countries. Enjoyed the wine tastings and informative chat about the history of the winery and the family who owned it.
