Absolutely outstanding excursion and tour guide - Pau - The tour guide Pau collected us from the hotel was punctual, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He fully explained the suggested itinerary however was more than happy to accommodate any wishes we had. The guided tour of the winery was an absolute pleasure, a wonderful experience and probably the best wine experience we have ever had. Lunch was a traditional meal in a local restaurant and Pau was outstanding in supporting Susan who is gluten intolerant
The visit to the Montserrat Monastery was a treat but the visit was taken up many levels by Pau whose knowledge and enthusiasm was the staring lighting the visit
Cannot recommend this tour more highly

Best Private Tour! - Pau was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable about the area and history. He made sure that we saw the monastery, did the pilgrimage St. Micheal’s cross, La Morenetta, lunch at local winery and a winery tour! We enjoyed the tour so much we are planning a return trip! Make sure to ask Pau about his love of music and dance!

Could Not Have Asked for More - We had a fabulous day with Paolo, our tour guide. He picked our private group of 4 women up at our hotel at 9:00 a.m. On our way to the vineyard Llopart, Paolo told us the history of Barcelona and the beautiful countryside and towns we passed. The tour of Llopart was fantastic and our guide there was so entertaining and enthusiastic. Paolo picked us up after the tour and we ate lunch the beautiful restaurant before heading to Montserrat. The drive up was gorgeous, even in the rain. (To the vineyard and Montserrat, the roads are VERY windy, we were extremely glad we had taken anti-nausea medicine) Paolo dropped us off as close as possible due to rain and then caught up with us to make sure we found our way in and had our tickets. The tour of the Abby was completely worth braving the weather and the cloud cover on the mountain gave it a surreal aura. Paolo met us at the exit and we returned to the hotel. He was so patient and kind, even though we are not a calm and quiet group of travelers! Highly recommend!!!

Amazing day - We had an incredible day with Fred as our tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about the area, and his passion for sharing its history and culture made the experience truly special. The winery visit was a highlight—beautiful scenery and delicious wines that we thoroughly enjoyed. Lunch at the restaurant was equally fantastic, with every bite as good as the last. The Montserrat tour exceeded our expectations with breathtaking views and fascinating stories. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable day. Thank you, Fred, for a wonderful experience!

What a great adventure! - My husband and I had a great day with Andy. He is very knowledgeable of Barcelona’s history and shared it with us throughout the tour. It was very beautiful at Montserrat and we enjoyed walking around and soaking it all in. Andy was able to get us in to attend the mass/service and the highlight was to take the special tour to see the sanctuary while the boys choir performed. We had a great lunch at a local town and then enjoyed a tour of a cava vineyard. We recommend this tour with Andy.

Excellent introduction to Montserrat and nearby Cava vineyard - Pau was a fantastic guide. We were 2 couples (in our active 60's). Picked us up at hotel in Barcelona, and drove to the monastery. A bit cloudy, but also nearby mountains were cool & mysterious. We did a hike, toured the chapel, saw the madonna, heard the boys choir, and took in beautiful views as sun started to come out. Then off to nearby restaurant for lunch and wine tasting + tour in afternoon, which was also fascinating. Pau was a great guide, driver, and story teller, very personable and engaging (ask about his music and dance background). I highly recommend him to lead this tour!

Not as described - The winery was great -- this was the only part of the tour that was. The restaurant we had lunch at was in a small town and it was awful -- it was not the restaurant that was described in the write up. Never made it Montserrat because the traffic was horrible on a Sunday (wish we had known that).
However, our guide, Pedro, was very nice.
