Our tour guide was an exceptional storyteller, and Montserrat itself was absolutely breathtaking. However, the wine and tapas portion fell short of expectations. The so-called tapas consisted of only a few small pieces of cheese and cured meat, and the tasting included merely three very modest pours of wine. Overall, the experience lacked the substance and generosity one might anticipate from such a setting.

Laia was a tremendous guide. Food and drink were great. The Monserrat tour was very memorable and we appreciated the free time to explore on our own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I did the Montserrat tour with Luca and it was amazing from start to finish. He’s super knowledgeable, funny, and made the whole experience feel really personal instead of touristy. The scenery at Montserrat was unreal, and the wine tasting after was the perfect way to end the day — great wines, relaxed vibe, and beautiful views. You can tell Luca really loves what he does. Highly recommend this tour if you want a mix of culture, history, and good wine.
