Reviews

An Amazing day touring beautiful places!
Webster_H, 21-07-2021
This tour is a must! Our guide Miguel picked us up right on time in our hotel in a nice clean safe SUV and drove us to Montserrat. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and explained a lot of Catalan history and culture to us throughout the tour. He was also great at taking our picture and never was bothered by our questions! Montserrat was amazing, a true experience impossible to explain in words. After the tour we lunched in a beautiful restaurant with great Catalan food, full of locals (not busy with tourists!). Then a trip to a winery where we tasted multiple varietals and learned a lot about winemaking in the region. It should be noted that Post Covid, this is a wonderful and safe way to see a beautiful region.

Alex our tour guide was perfect. We were picked up at our hotel in a very nice SUV and on to a wonderful day at Montserrat, then fantastic lunch and finally on to an organic winery. Just a great day. Highly recommend. Memories for a lifetime.
This tour exceeded our expectations...

This tour exceeded our expectations. Joseph provides top-notch service and each part of the tour was a joy. After a short drive from our hotel to Montserrat, we had time for a quick coffee break before going to the church. The tour is timed perfectly so we were able to enter just before the public access was closed to visit the Black Madonna. An added highlight was the visit to the art museum. We did not realize that this small museum had so many extraordinary artists in the collection. The lunch was at an absolutely charming small restaurant with excellent food. The visit to the organic vineyard gave us the chance to speak with the owner, taste multiple wines, and spend some time in the fields seeing how this small, family-owned winery grows their grapes. At the end of the day, we were surprised how quickly the day seemed to go even though it was a full day. Joseph goes the extra mile in customer service. We would recommend this tour to everyone.
