We had a fantastic quide Lorena, who explained to us about Catalonia, Montserrat and lots of history about Spain. She is amazing, professional, and friendly. Highly recommend this tour with this company👍The driver was also so professional. Thanks a lot.

The views were amazing, and our tour guide Mariana was great! The monastery was breathtaking, and powerful. The wine that we had was great as well! I would highly recommend this tour 😊

Our tour guide (Aline) was excellent and it was a nice blend of historical touring and wine-tasting, food-drink. The winery had a few 'novel' products that are uniquely found at this winery; so something new for winery "newbies" and more experienced visitors to vineyards.
For tourists new to Spain and Catalunya touring, some may prefer to pack layers for Montserrat and fewer clothing articles for vineyard portion and micro-climates are different.

We had a great time and left with a lot of knowledge and great memories and that was all down to Anthony. It feels like he’s been doing to this tour for years.

Loved this tour. Anthony was an amazing tour guide and helped to set the tone for what we were experiencing before the sights and while we were at the sights. Montserrat was amazing and so wasn’t the winery and tasting. Anthony went above and beyond. Thank you!!

Very fun experience with an amazing guide, Susana. She had us laughing from the start. She was very knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend this trip.

It was a good tour! The mountains were breathtaking. We enjoyed walking around the grounds. We felt like the wine tour was too rushed. The group size was too large so it was challenging for Monica to keep up with pouring and explaining.

Thais was an awesome and fun guide. Her great knowledge of the area, its history and the wine made it a perfect day! Thanks to Thais for a very memorable journey to Montserrat!
