Eileen_H, Apr 2024
Museum, lunch and meeting new friends. Anthony was very professional and took good care of our group
Getting away from the crowds was a relief.
Felix_T, Apr 2024
Visiting the museum in Monserrat is a must. In addition, the views from the site are spectacular. The food offered for lunch is below average.
Great Montserrat and Winery tour with Bel!
Edward_N, Apr 2024
Outstanding Montserrat and Winery tour with our guide Bel! The tour was a good mix of a guided group tour, and free time to explore Montserrat on our own. Great opportunity to learn about the history of Catalonia, and meet new friends. Bel proved to be a great sommelier in addition to tour guide! We had a great time and we most highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a day outside the city!
Highlight of Barcelona Trip!
Dana_P, Apr 2024
This was a highlight of our trip to Barcelona! Montserrat was gorgeous & the winery so fun. MJ was our guide and she was incredible! Def request her if you can!
Amazing day out
Allison_G, Apr 2024
Amazing day out and one of the highlights of our visit to Barcelona! The guide on the bus was fantastic and engaging but didn’t consume the whole ride with commentary. Drive was just about an hour from Barcelona. Good intro tour and then time to wander ourselves. Would have liked to have time to hear the boys choir but had to leave for winery. Lesley was our guide and she was wonderful. So knowledgeable about history AND wine! Great combo. Had a lovely afternoon at Oller del Mas and enjoyed the tour and wine tasting. Perfect day out of the city with fantastic tour guides, beautiful views, and amazing wine. Highly recommend!
Worth every penny
Lorelie_P, Apr 2024
Amazing day. Professional. Fun. Great food. Great wine. Beautiful sights. That tour could be triple the price and be worth it.

Amazing all around!! Ivan...
Shammara_H, Apr 2024
Amazing all around!! Ivan (our tour guide) is the BEST! My only desire to make it better is more free time to relax at winery. The food was amazing, the wine was delicious and the staff was so kind. I will definitely go on this experience again!

Excellent tour!
Robert_M, Apr 2024
Our tour guide, Gus, was very knowledgeable about the area (Montserrat), the monastery, the winery we visited, and the wine we tasted. Great views. The highlight was seeing and hearing the story of the Black Madonna. There was plenty of free time at the monastery to do a little self-exploration. Unfortunately, we were unable to hear the famed boys' choir sing. Gus was also very helpful when my wife got tired and made sure she was doing okay. All-in-all, a very enjoyable day.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Robert_M, Thanks for the great review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour with Gus. It sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring Montserrat and the winery. Hope to see you again soon for more adventures! Castlexperience team

Monserrat is stunning and well worth the drive. The winery luncheon was tasty as were the wines we tried. Our guide, Pol was so knowledgeable and excited to share his knowledge with us. Highly recommend this tour.

Make the time for Montserrat
Ariya_S, Apr 2024
This was a wonderful day trip that I'd highly recommend to anyone spending time in Barcelona! Finding the meetup spot was easy, the transportation was very comfortable, the scenery was spectacular, and our tour guide, Thais, was very friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about everything we did, including our wine tasting. We enjoyed having free time to independently explore once we got to Montserrat, and the provided lunch at the winery was delicious (along with the wines)! The views were truly beautiful and IMO, unmissable, given how little we had to travel to see them.
Enjoyable day!
Craig_L, Apr 2024
Great morning spent in Monserrat to take in the views and visit the lovely Basilica. The splendid art icollection in the museum is worth the time to see. The short trip to the winery after didn't disappoint with a great lunch and fun wine tasting. Very enjoyable day!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Craig: We're delighted to hear that you had a great morning exploring Montserrat and taking in the breathtaking views, as well as visiting the lovely Basilica!

A lot of bang for the buck
Rebecca_H, Apr 2024
This is an all day experience, so be prepared with comfy shoes, layers you can shed and water/snacks. The tour of the Montserrat area with Zahra was well balanced with guided information plus some free time to independently explore. The wine tasting and lunch was very informative and gave our group the chance to chat to meet new people. There is also a chance to shop for local foods and wines. Highly recommend if you are looking for an all day excursion that will check off a few activities.

Zhara was fantastic!
Lori_K, Apr 2024
We had a great time learning our history of Montserrat and tasting the fabulous wines of the region. Zhara was so informative, fun and truly cares about her clients.. Anytime the itinerary changed suddenly (and it did a couple of times), she handled it with grace and professionalism. So happy we had her as our guide.
