Unique and beautiful experience well worth the time

This trip was great! The Basilica is exquisite, easily rivaling (and surpassing IMO) some of the cathedrals. Definitely recommend the winery and lunch add on - a castle with active winery is a great combination! Hector was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, personable, funny, and active, a local with firsthand knowledge (and an impressive wine knowledge)

Great way to end our Vacation !

Amazing tour to Montserrat, even in the pouring rain! Our guide made the day special for me and my two teenage boys, and finishing at a beautiful winery castle with tapas and wine pairing was perfect. The boys loved it. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Montserrat tour

Very nice experience not far from Barcelona, so many things to see that it might be too little time, and maybe sometimes headphones are missing to hear guide better.
