Roberto was an amazing guide! Knows his stuff and answered all of our questions! He took time to show us around Monteserrat and explained all the history about Barcelona. He was also very funny and has a great sense of humor.

I had one day left in Barcelona and decided at the last minute to book a tour to Monserrat. No problems at all - found the meeting place easily with public transportation. Roberto was an excellent guide - very informative, friendly, and funny. Stunning scenery, more touristy than I expected, but I really enjoyed my trip. Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend this food tour. Dasha was an amazing tour guide and told us so much about Catalonian culture and history as well as taking us to some fantastic local bodegas and restaurants. There were only 4 of us in our group which made it much more intimate and relaxed. The food was delicious and Dasha gave us loads of great recommendations. We had our best meal during our stay thanks to Dasha’s recommendation. This really felt like going out for lunch with a group of old friends thanks to Dasha creating such a relaxed and fun environment. You must do this food whilst in Barcelona.

Wonderful tour! Nice comfortable bus ride with a little history narrative thrown in. The scenery and the monestary and basilica were beautiful!

Our family was looking for an activity during the day, this trip to Montserrat was perfect. Our guides were pleasant, knowledgeable and with a sense of humor. The afternoon time slot was great for us and the weather was excellent. The price was fair and had good value. Thanks for the tour!
