I thought it was one of the best tours I have been on! Our tour guide was very friendly and it was a great way to get out of the city and explore what was around Barcelona. The only thing I did not like was the limited time in Sitges as I feel we were a little rushed. But there are three stops so I felt I really got to see everything. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour.

This tour is definitely worth it. Although time was constrained in Sitges towards the end, it is a small price to pay in order to see all three sites in one day. Don't be afraid to leave the guided tour in Sitges. It's a cute town to explore on your own and you will not see much of it if you stick with the walking tour. Make sure you go all the way to the top of Montserrat for the amazing view and numerous walking trails. The guide was ok. She was nice but I thought she could have provided more information.

Very good use of our time. The views from Montserrat were priceless and the trip to Sitges Beach at the end was a pleasant surprise! They gave us time to roam in all three stops, which I appreciated. Our tour guide was interesting and funny!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave running commentary in English and Spanish throughout the entire bus trip. Montserrat was the best part of the trip. The bus ride, and then the train ride up the mountain is dramatic and the scenery spectacular. The history and culture of the monastery and church there is fascinating too. Before that, we stopped at the Torres winery and the tour there was quite interesting. As another reviewer noted, it would have been nice to have the chance to taste more than one wine. Sitges, the last stop was nice too. We skipped out of the guided walking tour, which we thought was kind of boring and went down to the beach front and had a drink at one of the many cafes, which was very relaxing. All in all, tour was very well-organized and ran smoothly.

Wine at 930am was a nice way to start the trip. Montserrat was beautiful and although the funicular to the top of the mountain wasn't included, it's a must to see! The Sitges part of the tour was definitely too short but it's a nice way to end the tour, by the beach.

The winery was a joke. They only let us try one wine. The tour of winery was stupid. The Stiges walking tour needs a better guide.

I loved Sitges and would have liked to stay longer than an hour and half. Montserrat is beautiful and unique and a great place to see but not worth 4 hours, in my opinion, unless you are really into monasteries. The museum surprisingly was decent and helped to kill the time. The winery was very nice with great wine, but buyers beware: You cannot buy any cases and send them to the States, so kind of pointless if you are a tourist. Overall, bus was cozy and nice, tour guide funny and spoke decent English, and the trip was well organized.

Good pace, good overview of area surrounding Barcelona. Nice balance of guided and time on your own.

In all a very nice trip. Montserrat was really fantastic, and the bus ride down was fabulous!

The winery tour was basically one long commercial for the winery, no real information or anything interesting was presented. The Montserrat section was fabulous. We really enjoyed doing our own thing during this time. The Sitges tour was short but great. I would recommend more time in Sitges and Montserrat and skipping the winery. The tour guide was very friendly but not very informative. Overall it was a great day.

Everything was well organised, although one hour more or free time in Sitges would be preferred.

This tour was definitely worthwhile. Montserrat is a must see and Sitges beach at the end was a pleasant surprise. The views from Montserrat was breathtaking, there is nothing like it in the world! I liked the fact that we were given the freedom to roam around in each site. Our tour guide was very good and funny. He made the tour more interesting.
