Had a fantastic time. Luis is a great guide. We decided to take an extra hike on the rosary trail at Montserrat instead of doing the wine tour, and Luis was able to quickly accommodate the change and hiked with us. We got to see everything, it was great.

This was a great way to get out of the city and see more of the surrounding area. The Monastery was beautiful and having a guide, Ramon, that could take us through and help us understand the history of the area but also how it relates to Spanish and ecclesiastical history made it so much more memorable. The Cava vineyard was amazing and it was fun being paired up with a group for this part which made the tour a lot more enjoyable.

If you're in Barcelona or planning a trip, save a day for Cava and Montserrat! We came to Spain to celebrate my 40th birthday and our 5th wedding anniversary. From the effortless pickup at our hotel, to the wonderfully led winery tour, to the unparalleled vistas of the Montserrat Monastery, this excursion was unforgettable. To start our day, our tour guide drove us to the Llopart Winery in Cava. We learned about the history of this incredible winery which dates back nearly 1000 years and its journey through history of itself with dozens of generations of family ownership. The wine was great, the wine tour (led by Mario!) was fantastic, the perfect buzz kept us going, and we were ready for the main event of Montserrat! The car journey (by van) to Montserrat was easy and allowed us to see more of the beautiful topography of Catalonia than we would have seen had we stayed in Barcelona proper. The monastery is built into the top of a mountain and the views from this gorgeous location were simply magical. We were able to see the basilica and surrounding complexes at our own pace (it was just the two of us!) in the off-season. We had a lovely time, and we know you will too!
