We had a great day. Would highly recommend this trip. Beautiful country side and tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything. It was a lovely day and we saw so much. Wine vineyard was great too.
This was the best tour of our three days in Barcelona! Our guide was fun, engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the history and theology behind the Monserrat monastery. I would recommend this tour to anyone within 1000 miles of Barcelona.
This was an amazing adventure! Monserrat was breath taking and the monastery was a once in a lifetime experience with all of its history and beauty. The cava winery tour was an excellent; | learned about how the cava is made and had a delicious tasting at the end. My guide Gianfranco was so kind, friendly and knowledgeable that he truly made my solo adventure just perfect!

We had an amazing experience with our guide Jean-Franco. The trip to the monastery was beautiful and Jean knew so much about the location and its history. More than we could have ever learned without him. We had extra time on our way to the winery, and Jean took us to an amazing lookout spot to overlook all of the vineyards. The tour of the winery was amazing and the wine was very nice. Couldn’t ask for a better experience or a better guide.
Gianfranco was such a joy. Knowledgeable, fun, and very easy going. We had such a great time at Montserrat and the Cava region. Can’t recommend it enough or Gianfranco!
8 of us did a private tour of Monserrat and a cava tour for a full day. Eduard was very engaging and an excellent communicator. He kept us well informed and very enthusiastic. Thank you very much Eduard! We had a great time.
We did a private tour with Alba and she was extremely responsive, informative and educational Alex it was a great mix of curated experiences with free time to do as we wish. We hiked, saw historically important sites and drank some wine at Vins El CEP. Great time and highly recommended!
Alba is the best! Her knowledge is top notch and she is great to be around!
