Great experience! - Nu was a wonderful guide. Montserrat is something that must be seen to be believed. And the Winery tour was excellent. Nu is very passionate about this region, and she knows so much about the history.

Montserrat Region - MONTSERRAT-WINERY-FARMHOUSE LUNCH: Montserrat is absolutely beautiful. The roads leading to the are excellent and very well signposted. It was cold there, but the welcome was warm. The views over the mountains and valleys were stunning. Our time there was focused on the historical, spiritual and cultural interests we had. Lunch at the traditional farmhouse (Cal) Casseroles) was first rate. The staff made us very welcome and the food and wine were beautiful! The winery tour (Pares Balta Vineyard) was fascinating and very much worth visiting. Our host, Carlos, was very entertaining. We had a wonderful tour guide (Paolo from Explore Catalunya) and he made the day very personal. His knowledge is amazing. Every Q we had, he was able to answer. He was a great teacher for visitors and his love of this land and its peoples was evident throughout the day. It was clear he has a great relationship with the personnel at the various sites we visited. We really enjoyed our time with him. A beautiful region! Lovely people! A wonderful country!

Monserrat and Winery Tour - We had a great time our tour guide was personable and down to earth. It was an early wake up and due to weather conditions we could not see the views from Monserrat. My favorite was the last part which was the wine tasting and lunch. Very authentic. We had a great time overall!! Highly recommend Rot our tour guide.

If you have 3 days in Barcelona... - I have to say my biggest thanks to Rod, my guide, first. Thank you. Your knowledge and skills as a guide are truly amazing!! Experience the majestic nature of Spain and the solemn and sacred air of faith. What awaits you is PARES BALTA, who is not a major player but is committed to winemaking. The vintners took the time to explain and guide us through the vineyard, the winery and the aging room in the basement. I'm very happy to taste five wines. If you can stay in Barcelona for 3 days, I recommend you to join this tour for a day.

A super-recommended trip to Monserrat Cava Winery - Rod, a male guide who also knows the history of former teachers, drove us around. I enjoyed the explanation in plain English, so it was a fun excursion with constant laughter all day. In particular, the lunch restaurant that you chose was a great restaurant full of locals, and I enjoyed the explanation of the menu and how to eat it. This tour and guide are super recommended.

Trip highlight - Highlight of our trip! Our guide Rod was amazing. Wine was excellent, and the monastery was unforgettable. Would definitely recommend. Had the basilica cut short as they had mass and would want to go back to more further explore
