This was an amazing experience. First I want to say that Xavi was an amazing guide. He was so informative and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Montserrat was beautiful and the winery was an amazing experience. Xavi was amazing with the info of the wines as well as the history that entailed today’s experience. I was with an ortho boot and crutches and he was very attentive in ensuring that I had a chair and the best way to accommodate my mobility issues. This was truly a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this tour. I also want to mention that the 3 course lunch pairs with 2 wines was delicious! I also want to thank Xavi for being so attentive to me and the group. This experience made me love Barcelona and the Catalan people even more!!

Berta is a fantastic guide. Making everyone feel like family. Perfect blend of informative, exploratory, and relaxation. Never did we feel rushed. The guides felt like they were genuinely having fun sharing their country with us. This tour group is top notch.

Monserrat is a really special place to visit! The mountain views are incredibly beautiful. After the guided tour of the Monastery, we had free time so chose to take the funicular further up the mountain and did a short hike, then had lunch. Our tour guide, Toni was very knowledgable and had a great sense of humour, he gave us an insightful history into Catalonia and Montserrat. I would 100% recommend!

Our guide Lena was super welcoming and knowledgable! We got to learn a lot about Montserrat and the winery, types of wines, how they age and best food to accompany it. She even provided grape juice for our teenagers so they could be part of the group Saluts !! Tapas were amazing! Would highly recommend the experience ! Thank you fir a wonderful time !

Depth is superb. She knows the history, she will make you comfortable, converse with you and she is well and organized. I will recommend this tour. If Deph is not available, I hope you guys get Tony and or Hector. They are both great too.
