Traveler reviews
Great Day at Montserrat
What a beautiful day at Montserrat. It was a perfect day for the scenery and a mass for All Saint’s Day. Our guide Lesly was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of great information, in addition to being a lot of fun. Lunch at the winery was also a good experience at a beautiful location with views of Montserrat. There was plenty of free time in each location.
Immersive trip for all of your senses!
What a fabulous day! Magical, jaw dropping landscapes paired with spiritual solemnity. The wine tasting (at a castle no less) was unique and a great communal experience. Our guide Kyra was next level. Don’t miss this one!
A great day trip from Barcelona.
I’m so glad we chose this particular tour. Our guide, Yerai, was fantastic- knowledgeable, passionate, and also engaging. Bus and train transportation was smooth and well organized. We never had to wonder where we were going or what we were doing next. We received good historic context for what we saw in Monserrat and had ample spare time to explore, hike, shop or take photographs on our own. Yerai was also our guide at the winery for the wine tasting and tapas. I was personally glad we chose the tapas option instead of the full lunch. Our tour group was small, and we had an amazing room inside the castle all to ourselves. The group there at the same time who was having lunch was in a larger, noisier venue space. After lunch, we again had time to walk around and take photographs at the winery or enjoy a glass of wine at their wine bar. This ranks as one of the top tours we have done on a 10 day vacation from Rome to Barcelona. was great to sit back, relax and let someone else take care of the logistics.
