This big group splits into multiple small groups with multiple tour guides. Our guide, Alfonso, was very knowledgeable and friendly. * The three wine tastings were one full glass combined, and the tapas were more like a small charcuterie board.

The tour was very informative. Not only did we learn about the monastery, there was a great deal of information shared about Barcelona and the local region. The wine tour was a real treat.

Vince made this experience for us truly exceptional. We chose this while in Barcelona to celebrate our anniversary - and boy did it not disappoint. This experience was a small group and was filled with so much fun, laughter and learning with Vince as our guide. To top off the experience, we paid for a private tour of the wine cellar that couldn’t have been more intimate - truly a lifetime experience! Thanks Castlexperience for this amazingly hosted tour.

Tour guide Delph was terrific.Really interesting with a great sense of humour. We enjoyed spending time with her. Montserrat is beautiful as are the surroundings at Oller del Mas winery. Really great day- we would definitely recommend.

Our guide Deph is good so as Tony and Hector no doubt. They all approachable, friendly and knows the history. Only problem is I wish all the history was discussed during the drive going to the place and let the tourist explore the places on their own so we can definitely say 5 star instead of them talking on our way to the tour. In addition most of the information can be googled. Tourist pay so much and wanted to maximize the stay and see the important spots/ places to see and make some memories. We were not able to go on top to the cross to see the view because it’s 20 min each walk going up and down and time was used talking about the history and we are just like grade schoolers following the guide which is really unfair. They should all consider the rest room used, buying from gift shop, the crowd etc. I’m not sure if this is the expectation of the company from the tour guide if it’s not, then maybe this could be a lesson learned from them reading this. This is once in a life time experience to most of us, please put your self in our situation. No responsible adult wanted to be stuck in a group talking about history if the time is very limited, we want to explore and again make some memories.

I had an amazing experience on the Montserrat and wine tour today! Our guide, Hector, was very informative, friendly, and made the whole trip enjoyable. He shared interesting facts about the history and culture, and the wine tasting was a perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend this tour and Hector as a guide!
