Amazing experience visiting Montserrat and winery. Had a good array of red/ white wines to indulge with, and a walkthrough by our sommelier-guide Rubi no less. Maji was my original guide around Montserrat before joining Rubi's group. She was full of knowledge and witty and humorous too! I personally felt that the lunch at the winery was not quite worth the price, might have opted for tapas instead. For those who don't want to pay the price of the meal, you could grab a meal from the cafeteria at Montserrat as well. Will recommend this tour regardless!

Montserrat as a whole was beautiful. The Basilica was breathtaking. So much history there. Both our tour guides, Alejandro and Thais, were very informative yet witty and fun. Alejandro gave us the history of Montserrat and made sure we saw everything it had to offer. Then Thais escorted us to the winery for an amazing lunch and wine tasting. She made us feel like one big family by the end of the day. The VIP experience in the winery is well worth. Trying unfinished wines from the barrel is an experience we will never forget. Five stars wasn’t enough!!!

It was an amazing trip to remember! Loved our guide Guillem, he was fun,well spoken and really informative! The only minus- it was really not enough time on my own to see all objects of interest, otherwise it was really perfect!
Ruth_W, Feb 2026
Absolutely terrific - would highly recommend Rebecca as your guide. She was very knowledgeable, and was willing to go the extra mile to procure tickets for the 1:00 pm choir "concert".

Montserrat is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Just breathtaking. The open air market was great as the vendors let you sample an assortment of cheeses, honey, nuts & more. It was hard to decide what to buy. A rustic
dinner with wine was served @ the winery before we headed off for more sampling. My husband has mobility issues and Anthony went out of his way to accommodate us, which was much appreciated. Shout out to Isabella for the golf cart ride.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Mary,
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful experience — we’re delighted Montserrat and the winery visit made such a lasting impression.
We truly appreciate your kind words about Anthony and Isabella, and we’re so glad they helped make your day comfortable and memorable.

Great tour from Barcelona and out to Montserrat. You will have the opportunity to explore the area. Our tour guide, Ivan, was very friendly and informative. After Montserrat we had a delicious 3 course meal paired with a couple glasses of wine. From there we continued the wine tasting where Ivan informed us of the different processes for the different types of wines. Must do tour if you appreciate architecture, history, and of course, wine
Response from Host, Dec 2025
It’s a pleasure knowing you enjoyed the tour, Jonathan! Looking forward to meeting you again!

Great day out. Lovely lunch and wine tasting experience. I personally felt only drawback was the ‘free time’ in Montserrat was a little too long
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day, especially the lunch and wine tasting experience.
We appreciate your comment regarding the free time in Montserrat, we’ll take this into consideration as we continue to refine our tours to ensure the timing feels just right for all our guests.
We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future!
Warm regards,

The guide was great. The day was enjoyable. My only complaint is that the listing said max 20 people. That was true for our small group of 12. However, multiple groups were combined for transportation on the bus - we were crammed together like sardines. Not the guide's fault - but still....
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear traveller,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the day and that your guide helped make the experience a great one.
We’re also truly grateful that you mentioned the situation regarding the bus. While each tour group is indeed kept small, transportation is sometimes shared between groups, and we understand how this can feel crowded. We’re sorry this affected your experience, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention, it helps us continue improving the logistics for our guests.
Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back for an even smoother experience in the future.
Warm regards,

Montse started us off with a quick tour of Montserrat. She gave us several options for free time activities and walked us through the market. Following free time, she handed us off to Victor who was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a lot of good information regarding the wines. He also had a lot of personal stories connected to each wine. The time at each activity was perfect. The lunch was also very tasty.

Our guide Yerai was wonderful. I watched him help a handicap individual from another tour with great care. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and worked diligently to ensure a good experience for everyone in the party.
Be aware that you can have delays at the basilica on Sundays. Not the fault of the tour. I actually like the respect for the church service but be aware when you are planning.
Great experience. Would recommend.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Stacey,
We truly appreciate your kind and thoughtful review. It’s very fulfilling to know you enjoyed the balance of culture, history, and wine, and that you felt supported and welcomed throughout the day. Thank you for choosing us!

Great views. Wine tasting was rushed. Guide had limited knowledge on wine and followed a very scripted speech. Transportation very comfortable. Nice day..
Deanna_D, Aug 2025
This may have been one of the best tours I have ever taken in our many trips over the years. The tour was well-organized, left plenty of time to explore each stop, the scenery was spectacular, and the food and wine were delicious. I can’t say enough about our tour guide, Yerai. I think I learned more about the country from him in 30 minutes than days worth of visits to museums. His commentary was funny and interesting on top of it. It was an amazing day that I will not soon forget.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Deanna,
We're so grateful for your thoughtful feedback. It’s wonderful to hear that the itinerary, the wine, and especially the company of your tour guide made for such an enjoyable day. We truly believe that a great guide makes all the difference, and we’re thrilled yours helped bring the stories and landscapes to life. Thank you again for sharing your experience!

Super lovely experience. Even though it was a long day, there wasn’t a dull moment. The bus ride to and from Montserrat was smooth and surprisingly entertaining. Our guide, Elena, was incredibly outgoing and knowledgeable—she shared so much interesting information and really made an effort to connect with everyone on the tour. She did a fantastic job keeping things engaging throughout the day.
Monserrat was definitely worth seeing and would do it again with a bit more time to see the choir.
At the winery, the food was totally fine, and the selection of wines we got to try was delicious. Honestly, I only have positive things to say about the whole experience. Elena had a wealth of knowledge and a clear passion for history, culture, and wine, which made the day even more enjoyable.
I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to do a relaxed day trip out of the city.
Nina, Jay, & Annette
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you, Annette! We're so glad you had such a smooth and enjoyable day with us. Elena is a fantastic guide, and we’re happy her energy and knowledge helped make the long day fly by. It´s amazing you guys were able to have such a great cultural experience and that means so much to us! We hope to welcome you back again!

Thais !!! 🥰 We can’t thank you enough for accommodating our families -mix of very young kids, seniors and people with disabilities. Not everyone can pull a phenomenal tour like that!! We all had a great time, thank you for the memories 😉
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Touring the countryside and Monserrat is so beautiful. Tons of history, delicious lunch and comaradities. The wine tastings were ok… the best wines are at the wine bar- fabulous ( bought 6 bottles).yurie- was filled with knowledge of history, foods, wine… a delight to spend the day with.

James_M, Jun 2025
It was a good day and the trip to Monserrat was a must do for a visit to Barcelona. Amazing scenery and our guides were both knowledgeable and very personable! Disappointed that we did not get totally inside the Monastery to see Black Madonna due to an event as that was one of the hoped for highlights! Views from the mountain were breathtaking!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hey James!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour, the stunning views, and the company of our guides. We completely understand your disappointment about not being able to visit the Black Madonna — unfortunately, occasional events at the Monastery can affect access. We hope the rest of the day still made for lasting memories!
Teri_T, May 2025
Excellent guide! Mayi was fun, informative and knowledgeable. Montserrat was beautiful but the ride to the winery was curvy and if you have motion sickness, it may be an issue.
Robert_O, May 2025
Enjoyed it!! Would recommend this for 1st time visitors to Barcelona. We enjoyed Monserrat and the winery
Stephanie_B, May 2025
