Excellent day with Anthony to see Monserrat and the Oller Dl Mas winery. He provided great overview of the sites and a wonderful presentation of the wines.
Yeuri was a fantastic guide and I was able to learn a lot about the culture and the wine. Everything ran smoothly and professionally.
Time at Montserrat was too long unless you want to hike. The winery was fine but would have preferred not having to climb stairs to get to an ordinary room. Would have stayed in dining room.
Had the best time on this tour! Marcel was incredible! Definitely recommend
Delphi was amazing!!! Knowledgeable, engaging, fun, and just a pleasure to be with. Can’t say enough about her. Highly recommend any tour with her as your guide.
Anays was amazing!! Super fun to talk and connect with and she was able to keep the crowd engaged the entire time. It was like visiting a winery with my long distance bestie 🫶🏻
Xavi was an excellent guide on a wonderful tour. The beauty of the mountain, monastery and vineyards combined with Xavi’s unique humor and knowledge made for an unforgettable day.
Alejandro was an amazing and informative guide. This was hands down the best experience on a tour we have had booking through Get Your Guide. And Alejandro the best tour guide. The bus ride was very comfortable too. We did not feel hurried at any point. The food for lunch was very good, the wines excellent, and the atmosphere delightful. The cellar tour and wine tasting were wonderful and we learned a lot. I can not recommend this tour and Alejandro enough. And Montserrat in the fog was magical.
Very organized tour. Our guide yeria was knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to follow. The winery and lunch were excellent. Would use the tour again
Yerai was a great tour guide to us, he was very informative and took care of us 10/10
Yerai was amazing. 10/10 would recommend this experience
He made our day and experience to be the BEST!!!
Carla did a fantastic job. She absolutely made the trip what it was with her humor, explaining the history, and making the trip very enjoyable. I would absolutely come back and do the trip again with Carla as my guide.
Ale was an excellent tour guide, he was warm and friendly, very knowledgeable, and adapted to a variety of languages and accommodations.
Well she really changed the entire experience. While the transportation to and from was not small group she managed to make it an incredible experience with her personal touches ..
The only feedback I have is the meal part. I was hoping it was something that represent the local food. Also needed coffee after that bus ride. Everything else was absolutely magical. And would do it again. And recommend it to others!
Thais was great-energetic and knowledgeable!
Alejandro was an amazing guide. He was kind, friendly, funny and knowledgable!
Our family group of seven took the Castle Experience Wine Tour to Montserrat. It is a full-day trip, and what a wonderful day it was. The key parts of the day were all excellent: the sites, the food and wine, and our guide, Mariana. Montserrat itself is hard to describe. The monastery sits high against the jagged rock peaks, and the views on the way up are worth the trip alone. The interior of the basilica is stunning. We also had free time to explore on our own, which was a nice balance to the guided part of the day. Lunch was also a highlight. The three-course meal was delicious, and the wine tasting that followed was generous. The winery was a relaxing setting for the meal, and the grounds were beautiful. The most important part was the guides. On the way to Montserrat and on the trip back to Barcelona, they shared the history of the surrounding area, and their entertaining delivery made the facts memorable. Once we reached Montserrat, our guide Mariana was the key. She is a Barcelona native, and it shows. She was friendly, funny, and patient with all of our questions. She gave us a wonderful background on the history of the region and a local's perspective on Catalan life, the kind you cannot get from a guidebook. As tourists, we are fortunate to visit a beautiful region like Catalunya, and insights from locals like Mariana help us appreciate the experience. Between the sites, the meal, the wine, and the guides, this tour is well worth the cost. If you want to learn about a place, including its people, its customs, and the emotions behind it, I recommend a guide like Mariana.
We had a wonderful experience on our Montserrat and winery tour. The staff were very courteous and welcoming throughout the day. We usually don’t enjoy excursions that involve travelling in a large coach, as they can sometimes feel noisy and the commentary can be a bit overwhelming. This time was completely different. The commentary during both the outbound and return journeys was genuinely interesting, entertaining and funny, which made the travel time enjoyable. Once at the destinations, the visits were done in small groups, which we really appreciated. Although Montserrat was covered in fog during our visit, we still enjoyed discovering this unique place. The winery visit was one of the highlights of the day. The atmosphere felt authentic and relaxed, and the small-group format made the experience even more enjoyable. Our guide, Yerai, was excellent — very knowledgeable about wine, engaging and funny. He explained everything clearly and made the tasting both informative and entertaining. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable day. The combination of well-organized transportation, small-group visits, knowledgeable guides and a relaxed atmosphere made this tour stand out from other excursions we have taken. We would definitely recommend it.
Xavi was the best! He had a lively personality and a wonderful sense of humor. The VIP tour visiting the wine cellar was definitely worth it. Truly one of the best days we had in Barcelona!
Kyra was an amazing guide. Enthusiastic and friendly, we had a wonderful day!
Alejandro was really brilliant. Charismatic. Knowledgeable. Empathetic. A really gifted communicator.
What a great day it was. This excursion was value for money and time.
Thais is an amazing tour guide. She knows so much about wine, the region and the winery . She brought this tour to the next level
Loved this tour! Thank you for a great experience! Kyra was amazing!
Kyra’s energy is amazing! She made our experience memorable
Great tour. Beautiful setting. Tte lunch and wine testing was awesome.
This was a great tour. Our guide Carla provided history regarding Catalonia and the Monestary at Montserrat as well as extensive knowledge of wine on the second half of the tour. This tour provided Perfect amount of time on your own to explore.
So much fun!! Our guide Maya was funny, engaging and knowledgeable about the area. The bushes easy to find and comfortable. We had recommendations of things to do on Monserrat which was helpful. We travel a lot…. This was worth the money. Book it!!
Yiogios, Papa Bear was an excellent tour guide—knowledgeable, patient, and engaging. Everything ran on time, and the tour exceeded our expectations. It was well worth it, and we highly recommend him!
Fantastic! Carla is well versed and such a wonderful personality!! Great tour of sites, monastery, historical culture and wine knowledge. Wonderful balance of history and humor. Strongly recommend this tour!
Xavi, was our guide for the day & was great. He is very knowledgeable & has a great sense of humour. Montserrat was awesome place to visit & our wine tour & lunch was great as well. Well worth it.
Lais was so much fun and very knowledgeable. We had a great time.
Luca was incredible. The entire tour his knowledge was the perfect combination of informative, enthusiastic, and friendly. He was impressive at his time management (with kind reminders), his reverence for the Montserrat and the monetary. His wine knowledge was the most impressive. Especially for a “non professional” wine tour. He taught me more than I ever retained on a professional wine tasting. I bought 12 bottles from the beautiful Oller del Mas winery est. 964.
Great informative tour, and our tour guide Anthony was awesome. Would recommend this tour to others.
Anthony was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable in wine and the history of the vineyard and Montserrat.
This was a wonderful day with amazing views in Montserrat and a great lunch and wine tasting made even better by the best guide we’ve had in Europe (VINCE!)
What a great experience. Carla brought the tour alive with her passion of history at Montserrat and then knowledge at the wine cellar experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves history, wine, and beautiful scenery.
Anthony was amazing; his knowledge of the monetary and wine was greatly appreciated
Ale was AMAZING!! Easy to understand and was so great!!
We travelled as a group of 9 family and friends and we had the most amazing tour with the very knowledgeable and super friendly tour guide. Carla was phenomenal and she is so bubbly, happy and super knowledgeable, not only about the history of Barcelona and Montserrat, but also in the wine production and various aspects of the various wineries in the region, and in particular on Oller de Mas which we visited and had a lovely lunch followed by wine tasting and to make it even more special a private tour of the cellar and wine producing area. Carla was a tour guide extraordinaire. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to visit Montserrat and winery in this region, and hope you get to experience this tour under the guidance of Carla. It was beautiful day out of Barcelona with wonderful views and a super way to explore the beauty that surrounds Barcelona.
Marcel man what can I say you were amazing man the amount of knowledge you had was great I felt like I was going back in time through the tour I also appreciate the wine recommendations for sure would recommend
Awesome experience! Highly recommended. The tour guides, Vince, Leslie, & Alberto went out of their way to educate us, help us have fun, & make sure we had a great experience. Montserrat was amazing (you could spend days here) but make sure to see the Art gallery. The winery was first class. Food was great; wine and the wine lessons were better. Vince knows his stuff.
Carla was a delight! Very knowledgeable and well spoken, well worth the VIP experience to tour the cellar and enjoy the tapas!
Carla was amazing! Excellent experience!
Wonderful experience. Easy to find with GPD pin drop. We especially liked the long free time to explore. We took the funicular up the mountain, It was well worth it for the views. Ran out of time to spend much time with the local venders. The guides give you a lot of their time and energy. They do a great job.
Great day out of Barcelona with travel guide Carla and her team.
Thais our tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and funny! Definitely I would recommend!
