A nice runaway from the city for a day - The trip was nice and entertaining, with different things to see, do or taste along the way. Well-planned organisation with fixed and free time activities to choose from. With this tour we had two amazing guides - Berta for Montserrat, and Bel for the wine tasting and lunch. They both did a great job, told us quite funny and curious stories, both were super nice, passionate and authentic guides that really immerse you in the story of the places. Thank you so much for this experience!

A day well spent! - There are so many memorable moments. The trip to Montserrat was unexpectedly rich in what options there were. The scenery was spectacular and the walk up to the cross gave some great views Our afternoon at the winery was also very enjoyable with a tasty lunch and some delicious wine to sample. Laura was extraordinary in both her organization and her enthusiasm. She created a very positive group dynamic and Laura is certainly very knowledgeable about the regional history and its wines: and her colleague Lesley managed a history lesson covering 2000 years in record time. I'm so glad I chose this tour!!

Toni is the best! - Our guide was Toni Marco & he was terrific. He made the tour very personal. He wanted each one of us to have a great experience. He was very knowledgeable & shared many extras that related to him personally. He taught us that Montserrat is the heart of Catalonia.

Must Go Tour!! - This tour was absolutely incredible from the beginning to the end. The value provided for the money you pay was outstanding. Our guide MJ - Maria Jose made the day interesting, fun and memorable. I would 100% recommend the full day tour since it gives you enough time to really appreciate the space, food and wine. Thanks again MJ!

Must see site with a great guide. - This is a wonderful destination. The guides added much to the experience by enlivening the trip out and back with history and humor. Our guide, Delph, took us under her wing and personally guided our group through the religious sites and interesting hikes on the mountain. It was like going with a friend who was already familiar with the site, totally professional.

Can't miss views from Montserrat - My family really enjoyed our trip to Montserrat. Our guide Gus was exceptional. He gave us so many great recommendations on activities to do while we were there that helped us to make the best of our time. He also sent us an email after the trip with recommendations of places in Barcelona to eat and things to do. Great service!

Memories of Montserrat - A very good experience going to Montserrat, with good views. Would be better if riding the funicular is included in the time allotted. Also the walk to the cross would have been nice. Overall, its a good trip with Berta very accomodating and enough knowledge about the place.
