Post Cruise day.

We had a great day. Stephen was an excellent guide (English speaking). He shared a wealth of knowledge in an engaging, interesting and humorous way. A perfect balance of a guided tour and free time. We never felt rushed. Eric was an excellent driver and watching the interaction between him and the guide was enjoyable. Every effort was made to deliver each guest post excursion with bonus recommendations regarding restaurants, flamenco show, etc.. Happy to provide a recommendation! For cruise travellers a great option for a day of exploring with safe luggage storage and door to door (ship to hotel) service.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a great day with us. Stephen will be thrilled to know that his knowledge, humor, and approach to balancing guided commentary with free time helped make your experience so enjoyable. We'll also be sure to share your kind words with Eric, whose professionalism and teamwork contribute greatly to the experience we aim to provide. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recommending us to fellow travelers. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again in the future! BarcelonaDayTours

Montserrat Day Tour was great.

We had a great experience with Barcelona Day Tours’ Montserrat tour. There were four of us on this tour. We were picked up after disembarking from our cruise ship. Pick up was right on time, luggage loaded in the vehicle, and off we went. Hugo was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and super-friendly, a wealth of information. The tour of Montserrat was lovely, it’s beautiful up there. We were dropped off at the hotel afterwards. This is a great way to bridge the gap of ship disembarkation and checkin time at the hotel. Highly recommend Barcelona Day Tours.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It’s fantastic to know that everything went smoothly from your cruise ship pickup to your hotel drop-off, and that Hugo made the day extra special with his knowledge and friendly service. Montserrat truly is a beautiful place, and we’re so happy you enjoyed visiting it with us. We also appreciate you highlighting how convenient the tour was between cruise disembarkation and hotel check-in. It’s exactly the kind of seamless experience we aim to provide. Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Barcelona in the future! BarcelonaDayTours

Review Tour

The tour was wonderful, my wife says we had the best guide Christian "the German". He was very knowledgeable about the area. We have had some tour guides that seem to be reading off the internet, this was definitely not the case. He took us to the two main areas we wanted to see and then some off the beaten path and "Hole in the Rock" places that we enjoyed. Was very kind and easy to be around we enjoyed the lunch and small talk all thru the day. Please pass this to him if you can. Would recommend him or your company to anyone who would like a personalized tour.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words about Christian! We’re thrilled to hear that he made such a lasting impression on you and your wife. Providing knowledgeable, authentic, and personalized experiences is exactly what we strive for, so it means a lot to know that Christian’s passion and expertise truly stood out. We will absolutely pass your message along to Christian — he will be delighted to hear it. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing our company. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! BarcelonaDayTours

Must see tour with this awesome guide!

This tour was one of the highlights of our 2 1/2 week trip. We went to Montserrat four years ago and had Elena as our guide, she was so awesome, we requested her again for this tour and once again she did not disappoint. She is so welcoming. It’s like spending the day with family or a personal friend instead of a tour guide. She’s so knowledgeable of the region and seems to know everything.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to tour with us again! It means the world to hear that this experience was one of the highlights of your trip. We’re especially thrilled that you requested Elena again after four years and that she made the day just as memorable. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with her — she’ll be so happy to hear it. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! BarcelonaDayTours

Montserrat and cava tasting made for a fabulous day!

Fabulous day with our knowledgeable guide, Christian! The car picked my husband, son, and me up at our AirBnB promptly at 8:30 and we returned before 4:30. Montserrat was worth the visit. We even toured the art museum before taking the funicular back down. After a delicious lunch in Montserrat, we made our way to a cava tasting at ArtCava. It was a charming vineyard with excellent cava. Highly recommend this tour!

Montserrat/Cava tour

Spain Day Tours picked us up at the pier when we disembarked from our ship. They loaded up the luggage and took us to Montserrat and then on to a vineyard to take a tour and taste the sparkling wine. The day was wonderful and they dropped us off at our hotel at the end of the day.

Montserrat and Cava

We had a small group tour to Montserrat and the Cava region of Barcelona. Our guide, Francisco, gave us the history of the mountain and the monastery on the trip. Once we arrived we had free time to explore the monastery, take a trip to the top of the mountain or visit the local market. After our visit to the monastery, we travelled in the vineyards for our Cava visit. We arrived at a small winery and were shown the process of making Cava and tasted several different varietals. It was aoutstanding trip.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your small group tour to Montserrat and the Cava region. Thank you again for your kind words. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in the future. BarcelonaDayTours

MONSERRAT

Our group of five took a half-day tour to Monserrat with Barcelona Tours. The tour guide picked us up at our hotel as planned. Pick-up was on time. The guide spoke to the small group as we traveled to and from Monserrat. She walked the group through Monserrat and then gave us an enough free time to do as we wanted. Monserrat is a beautiful place, but we highly recommend doing it with a guide from Barcelona Tours. We do not hesitate to recommend this family-owned business for any tour you wish to do. 5 star from each of us. Our guide, Marta, was terrific!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your group had such a great experience on your half-day tour to Montserrat. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Marta. She’ll be delighted to hear that she made such a positive impression! It means a lot to us that you would recommend our family-owned business, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour in the future. BarcelonaDayTours
