This was a good tour and we loved our guide Delph! She was very knowledgeable about both the monastery and the winery. There was much food for lunch so I wish I had brought a snack and the monastery was so interesting I wish we had more time there

Loved the small mountain city. Enjoyed the tour through the Basilica and hear the history of the monks. The micro winery tour was fascinating and wine tasting and tapas delicious. Thanks to our Guide Vince for a great experience

There is a 55 minute trip to Montserrat. Very beautiful catholic basilica! Lots of traffic at the top of the mountain. The winery afterwards was very fun but needed to be around 30 min longer in duration in my opinion to fully enjoy the wines. Our guide, Thai’s, was great! Made the trip both informative and fun!

This was a quick one hour trip from Barcelona. The bus station was easy to get to. Anthony was a great guide! He kept the information specific and allowed for just the right amount of free time.
