Traveler reviews
Not as advertised, far short of it.
I was misinformed about what my tour included. I was lead to believe I was to have 4 hours in Montserrat. I took a picture when we arrived at 11:08 and we departed at 13:49. That's just 2 hours and 40 minutes. No where near the 4 hours that was listed. Also, I was told the tour would be about 9 1/2 hours, it was only a bit more than 7. Also, in the itinerary description it lists a full meal with wine, we just got a sampler plate. I do not recommend taking this tour. I called support and they were absolutely no help.
Kyra was our guide and...
Kyra was our guide and she did a wonderful job. Great history, easy to keep up with. A few more minutes at the winery to enjoy the scenic view would be nice but it was already a long day. Would recommend. It was nice to have all the details, tickets and transportation figured out for me. I needed that on this day.
Book it!
Montserrat Mountain and Monastery is a spectacular destination and landscape to visit when based in Barcelona. The historic winery and lunch was also a nice treat and great opportunity to bond with fellow travelers. The CASTLEXPERIENCE team and our wonderful guide Alejandro elevated the experience and kept it fun and very informative.
Great experience
It was an amazing experience from beginning to end! I actually managed to get lost right in the city center of Barcelona before the tour. I called the team, and the person who answered was incredibly helpful and patient, guiding me step by step until I found the correct meeting point. That was already a great start! The tour itself was wonderful. Montserrat was breathtaking, the winery visit was fantastic, and we got to taste some excellent wines made from native Spanish grape varieties. The lunch was also delicious and a real highlight of the day. Our guide, Kyra, was absolutely amazing. She was fun, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and had an answer to every question. Her personality and passion made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Everything was great, from the customer service before the tour to the places we visited, the food, the wine, and especially our guide. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Barcelona!
Unforgettable trip away from busy Barcelona
The whole experience was amazing. The mountains alone are worth a visit. Add to that the incredible architecture of the monastery and the beauty of the surrounding walks make the entire visit unique. The visit to the old family winery was a good add to the trip. The guides were great, combining detail information & entertainment. The coach splits into smaller groups for the basilica & wine tour. Our personal guide, Vince was passionate & energetic the entire tour. He gave detailed insight into the history of the monastery & its critical ties to the Catalan culture. He then thoroughly entertained us through the winery visit and tasting. He had an extensive knowledge of the wine growing & production process. He was one of those characters that was just great to be around.
