The tour to Montserrat was wonderful. Xavier, our guide, was very knowledgeable and presented information in an engaging and interesting way. We learned a lot and it was a great experience. The transportation did not go as smoothly as possible due to planning on the administrative end. We were picked up at 8:15 and Xavier picked up the last person on this small tour of 7 people at 9:40. She was on the opposite side of Barcelona. On the return, we decided to not have Xavier return us to the hotel because that again would have added another 30 to 40 minutes. We opted to get out when he dropped off the first person and walked back to our hotel. It would have been helpful if the tour company had taken the logistical aspect into consideration. We spent almost the first two hours in the car before arriving at Montserrat.

Overall we had a brilliant experience thank you. Vince was an excellent host and was genuinely great. He gave a real expert insight into the wines that were on offer. His passion came across as he spoke and he made an effort to help the group bond and be comfortable. Vince himself was a 10. The experience in its totality was a 9. The only reason I have for not giving it a 10 was that I’d have liked a little more time in Monsterrat. We went to the museum, sampled the cheeses and ate a snack but wanted to walk to the cross which we simply did not have time for. We also did not have time to touch the black Madonna which would have been a memorable experience. That is my only honest critique but as I stated, we both had a really great time. Thank you for putting on this tour.

Fantastic experience to a very special destination. Lilia was an exceptional tour guide. So thorough and patient. We appreciated her sharing her knowledge and personal history about Montserrat.

My day was AMAZING! Vince was the best guide ever! One of my best tours ever! Views at Monserrat was out of this world. The winery was just amazing!

I love the hike nice scenery and would be nice if I can stay longer at Montserrat.
