Really nicely organized tour. Guide Ale was a very courteous, knowledge, and well-humored guide to Montserrat and the winery. Really enjoyed the tour - other than the fact I would have liked way more time in Montserrat! As with all good guided tours, it has given me ideas of how to explore the countryside next time I am lucky enough to visit Catalunya.

Sofi was an amazing tourguide, with great humor and funny jokes. She was very talented and had a lot of knowledge about the tour. Recommended!

We had a fantastic experience on the tour of Montserrat and the Winery. Yerai was a fantastic guide who offered not only great narration but detailed insights as well. We went to the Basilica on a day with a large mass, and he modified the tour to ensure we were able to see everything and still pop inside quickly after the mass to see the church and the Madonna. His wine tasting knowledge was equally exceptional and catered to the tastes of our group. The tour itself was amazing. From the sweeping and breathtaking taking views of and from Montserrat to the history of an ancient castle winery, it was a wonderful way to see the country outside of Barcelona. We would highly recommend this tour and Yerai as well.

Thanks to Lesly, our experience was fabulous! She is definitely passionate about the history of not only Monserrat, but the entire country, including the Catalan community. And she was so knowledgeable about the wine too! We couldn’t have asked for better! I wish her well in her bright future and best of luck with her mother’s move too. ❤️

This was one of our favorite trips. The Montserrat Basilica was exquisite, and the winery tour and wine tasting with tapas was enjoyable. Our tour guide Lesly did a fabulous job explaining everything we were looking at and was extremely knowledgeable. The scenery was gorgeous!

Mayi was outstanding as a guide. Great day with everyone engaging in the 1000 year old castle. Short trip from Barcelona and a beautiful museum, black Madonna, and views.
