Nuri was a wonderful guide. Her tour was informative and I learnt a lot from her about Catalonian culture beyond the content specific to Montserrat. She was passionate in her role and was attentive to everyone’s needs, always ensuring that no one is left out. I look forward to going on her tour again someday!

We had a great time on our tour with Gus! He was super knowledgeable of Montserrat and the winery and very friendly. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an experience just outside of Barcelona.

Marcelo, our guide, was fantastic: very professional, knowledge about everything was top notch., timing with everything was on point. Also; he was humorous and interacting with adults and kids was super!

Our guide Nuri is a sweetheart! So helpful, kindhearted and fun! Overall amazing and unreal experience and would recommend :)

Nuria was a lovely lady and a font of knowledge. She ensured we saw everything and we were well looked after.
