Kyra was fantastic! Highly recommend her as a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Montserrat is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth visiting! The mountain views are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. Exploring this wonderful place was one of the highlights of my Barcelona trip. A special mention to our tour guide, Carla, who was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Her explanations and enthusiasm made the tour extra special. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Barcelona. An unforgettable experience!

A wonderful trip to Montserrat! Stunning mountain views and a beautiful monastery made it a memorable experience. Definitely worth visiting while in Barcelona.
Lesly was amazing. Super knowledgeable and friendly
Lesly was the best and very informative! Highly recommend her
Kyra, our tour guide, was excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. She laid out our schedule for us and kept us up to date as to changes etc. We followed her recommendations and enjoyed a hike to St Michael’s Cross and visited the local market for cheese. She was one of the best guides of our whole vacation and we had about 8 tours over the last two weeks.
Kyra was amazing! I wish she was my tour guide for all my other travels. Informative, personable and attentive to detail. Just a great tpur
Years was super kind, witty & knowledgeable. We feel lucky to have been led by him today. The experience was amazing. Take the time to walk to St. Michaels cross!
Great tour. Definitely a must see. It was unclear when purchasing that all tour options under this organizer included cogwheel and black Madonna. We would have opted for the wine tour as well but thought it would behoove us not focus on the whole on site package.
Amazing experience! Delpha was extremely knowledgeable and friendly!
Delph did an amazing job. She was so much fun and her knowledge about everything one the tour was wonderful. We all had an amazing time. We will recommend her and this tour to all of our friends.
Delph did an amazing job, she was very well informed and was very nice. The tour itself was very fun, and interesting, the locations were cool, and the food and wine was very good.
Lesly was very informative. Great tour.
Had a wonderful time in Montserrat, and the tour itself was very great all thanks to Lesly! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
This is a great tour of the Monserrat monastery and basilica, including the black Madonna. While you can elect wine tasting and lunch, this tour still took 6 hrs with a leisurely and scenic drive from Barcelona. The guides did a great job informing us of all the pertinent facts. Lesley is a particularly gifted and knowledgeable guide. She is well trained and seems to have a great deal of expertise. She is a wonderful guide.
Carla is just the best guide ever, she has so much knowledge to share, love, compassion, kindness, she made the trip one of the best trips we ever had, I would hire her even in South Africa to give me tours there she is the best guide we have ever had, Thank you Carla you gave us the full Barcelona, Catalonian, Montserat, Spain, wine heritage, history tour ever
The tour is excellent with our tour guide and expert “Alejandro” (Ale) and other staff, they were all so caring, funny and most of all took care of the group needs. Kudos and recommending the tour to all!
The entire day was well done. That said, our guide made it over the top. Knowledge, personality and attentiveness made the trip very enjoyable. Thanks to our guide Alberto, thank you!
Ale is a very friendly, respectful, professional, and knowledgeable tour guide. He loves his job and it is reflected in how he treats us, the tourists. Thanks Ale. God bless you more.
Very efficient, our tour guide ophelie was knowledgeable and very friendly. The tour is on time. I recommend this tour everybody
Vince was awesome. Had great time
Yueri was a wonderful tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about Montserrat.
We had an absolutely blast exploring Montserrat and visiting a local winery with Lesly as our guide. Lesly was very knowledgeable, passionate, and very funny, making the whole experience both interesting and enjoyable. She shared fascinating stories and information while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and fun. She was extremely knowledgeable about wine, explaining the different varieties, the winemaking process, the local terroir. You could really tell she has a genuine passion for wine!
Ivan and Mayi were informative and fun tour guides. We had Ivan for the Montserrat tour and broke away for the restaurant lunch. Ivan had great advice for a quick 40 min hike to the top of the mountain. Everything was planned perfectly. The lunch was well worth it. We recommend the tour.
Absolutely fabulous and our guide, Yerai, was fantastic, both entertaining and informative. Highly recommended!
Yurai was great. Explained everything and was easy to understand. A+++
Aly was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable and fun.
Lesly was amazing! So knowledgeable and fantastic energy for uplifting everyone in the tour. Highly recommended!
Yerai was informative, friendly, funny, and helpful. He presented a lot of information in a way we could absorb it. He negotiated crowds effectively, minimizing wait time.
Needed more time to see everything
The bus drivers and tour guides were entertaining and informative. Etrienne was incredible. He was easy to hear and understand. It was difficult to come up with a question he couldn't answer. It was a full day of education on the history of Catalonia/Spain, the monastery, the region, and the mountains. The train ride and the journey were uniquely fun too. Money and time well spent.
It was very nice! Our guide Carla did her job the best way, professionaly and with enthusiasm. She knows many things and can give a lot of information. There can be different groups but you must do your job professionally like she did.
Great tour! It was very organized, and the guides were amazing. Shout-out to Anays! We also did the wine tour, and her knowledge was great. She’s a true entertainer!
The experience with our tour guide Hector was amazing. First, is great to see the team work amongst the tour guides they all work ro make our experience one of a kind. The knowledge and information we gathered going thru Monte de Monserrat, and vineyard Oller del Mas was great. We all learned a lot. First time visiting Barcelona and we definitelly recommend this tour. Thank you again Hector for making this tour one that we will treasure.
From sign up to checkin to return, everything worked seamlessly. Kyra, our guide, was great. She was knowledgeable and kept the group engaged from the start of the tour, the visit to Montserrat, during our 3 course lunch at the vineyard and led a tasting after lunch. Kyra answered our many questions and shared her love and passion for Catalunya. As we were multiple groups on the bus, we also got some time with the other guides. The team worked well together. I learned, laughed and came to better understand the culture and pride. My advice is take a day out of amazing Barcelona and visit this special place.
Enjoyed the tour. Monserrat was in my bucket list. I wish we would have spent more time there. Papa Bear and his bestie were great!
Great trip. Even had a disability challenged and the tour handles it well.
Mayi was very informative, loved the commentary on the drive, very interactive.
Our guide, Lesly, was so friendly and knowledgeable! Wonderful stories of history! I would highly recommend this tour!! Well worth the $$!
