A beautiful day in Montserrat!

We spent a wonderful day in Montserrat and at a 10th century castle/winery for tasting and tapas. Our guide, Ale, was excellent, both humorous and incredibly informative about history and culture, enriching our experience of all we saw and did. Ale was attentive to keeping track of the group, giving us suggestions of various options in exploring Montserrat during our free time before heading off to the winery. The setting at both places is spectacular, and we enjoyed tasting/purchasing local foods in the town and at the winery. We would highly recommend this tour with Ale.

Great half day w free time

Great half day experience with Luca to see Montserrat. We thought about going up ourselves via train but it was so much easier. We got a little history, a little free time — perfect for spending half a day at the Basillica.

Monserrat day trip

It is a good day trip but felt very rushed the place itself is very beautiful but I felt we didn’t have enough time there we were supposed to reach back to Barcelona at 3.30pm but we arrived back at 3pm so the 30mins we missed out on could of been a extra 30minutes at the actual place but our quite Caroline was excellent
