Great experience, tour guide Yerai was informative and knowledgeable. Answered questions and gave insight on the Montserrat, the winery, the lunch and the wine tasting. Gorgeous weather too so the views were spectacular. Must try experiencing if you are a wine lover!

Fantastic “Wine & Tapas Tour” with Castlexperience – Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely wonderful day on the Wine & Tapas tour that included a visit to beautiful Montserrat. The whole experience was perfectly organized — from the comfortable bus ride, the cable train up to Montserrat and stunning mountain views, and the afternoon at the winery with delicious local tapas and wines. A very special thank you to our guide Xavi, who truly made the day exceptional. His deep knowledge of both wine production and Montserrat’s fascinating history, combined with his humor and warm personality, made the entire tour both engaging and memorable. We left with great memories, new insights, and a big smile. Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine culture, nature, and great food in one perfect day!

Thais was the best tour guide. We normally avoid super touristy things like tours but she made it so enjoyable. She was fun and brought her energy and enthusiasm to the group. Ask for her! The food at winery was delicious and views of Monserrat breathtaking. We did the longer tour which allowed for us to go up to the cross. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this tour! The pace was great as we got a lot of informative history. Most tour lunches are so so but the food on this one was very good. The best part of the tour was our guide, Thais. She was funny, friendly, and very knowledgeable.

The tour was amazing, the scene was gorgeous, and the Mayi was a great tour guide. The wine was very good and Mayi was very intelligent and witty! Would book a tour again with her.
