All was well. Good value.
Wonderful. Our guide, Jordi, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We loved the Montserrat,which included a concert by the boy's choir. The Cava Trail at the Codorniu winery was great.

This tour is everything you've read-about... small, comfortable minibus transportation to Codorniu (to learn all about sparkling wines) then Montserrat (with an initial guided tour then plenty of time to wander on your own). And consider yourself fortunate if Julia is your guide - she's amazing!!!
The small tour was excellent, guide offered great information regarding the site and how to be at the best spots and the best times. The site is breathtaking and photos will not do this place justice. Worth the money. The Cava trail was interesting but the Montserrat trip was incredible.

Great tour,
Enrique was kind and professional, and knows history.
Fantastic guide from Explore Catalunya Tours. Very funny, very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about Barcelona. The views from the mountain were fantastic, choir was angelic and also the tour to the Cava estate was fantastic as well. Well worth it.
The tour was fantastic and well worth the day. The history, the views, the wine, the architecture and the choir all created lasting memories. The tour guide, Feliciano, was fantastic. Very safe driver in a very comfortable bus. He added value to every moment over what was a long, but great day. He was very well informed and an interesting, passionate individual. Thanks again. All the best. Steve and Linda....
Montserrat is the consummate travel dilemma: many things to do and see and not enough time! The tour information is wonderful and then in your free time you can take the funicular up to the top of the mountain (well worth the round trip fare but not enough time to hike too far), go down to the cave where the statue of the black virgin was discovered (we did not have time to do this but wish we did), go to hear the choir sing (wonderful sound however VERY crowded and not worth the wait in our opinion). The real issue became getting lunch and getting back to the bus on time after listening to the choir, especially if you want to shop for souvenirs at all. If you are pressed for time go to the self-serve counter near where the buses are parked and pick up food to go. The next stop (only a few minutes away) is at a thousand year old chapel where you can eat your lunch. The cava winery is beautiful with a fun (especially the tram ride through the cellars at breakneck speed!) and informative tour. It is NOT a big sale job and the tasting is fabulous. Very interesting to see this aspect of Spanish culture.
Excellent trip with a guide who was truly outstanding! If you go on this one Anna is the person who really makes it.She has the knowledge to really show the features of the area .
Best thing we did. Our tour guide was great and we had enough time to not have to rush to see things in Monserrat. We even had time to purchase some cheese and wine and have a picnic. The choir boys singing in the cathedral was spectacular and then to top things off we went to the Cava took the tour of how it is made and enjoyed champagne.Fantastic day
A perfect way to get out of the city and see the amazing landscape of Montserrat - and there's a lot to do there, you won't be disappointed - and to be taken around a Penedés vineyard, sampling some cracking little numbers and the opportunity to buy some too!

Cava Trail visit was very informative and well done. The winery spokes person was great! The trip to Montserrat was exceptional!!
Very good tour and well worth the money. Had plenty of time to do some walking at Montserrat and see the views.

One of the single best tours I have ever taken, much due to our guide Feliciano (no clue on spelling). Mont Serrat is spectacular; we went on a clear day which afforded views all the way to the Mediterranean. Excellent food options, friendly people, beautiful sites. The wine tasting was informative, fun, and of course, very tasty. Just do it!!

This tour was in many ways the highlight of our holiday. It had something for everyone. Montserrat provided magnificent scenery and the magnificence of the cathedral and the choir. The cava tour provided an opportunity to tour and taste a wonderful wine. We have to say we shared our tour with a wonderful group of people from around the world, and our tour guides were better than best! So yeah we would totally recommend this tour.
