“From start to finish, this experience was enjoyable, interesting and very well organized. On the bus ride to the mountain, one of the tour staff provided a brief history of Spain, Catalonia and Barcelona, during which we learned a lot and also laughed a bit. When we arrived in Montserrat and split into tour groups, we found our tour guide Mariana to be knowledgeable and charming.

The visit to the winery and wine tasting was the perfect end to the experience. Mariana wowed us again with her knowledge of wine and…”

“If you are looking to have a day full of relaxing and wine tasting this tour isn't for you...if you are looking for a day full of wine education and a big group with an impersonal feel, then this tour is for you. I am from California where we are used to going on wine tours where there was plenty of wine and relaxing, this tour was not that. While the wineries were great, this was just not the experience I was hoping for. Our tour guide was unenthusiastic and the tour guides at the wineries seemed rushed when we got there.”
