★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,290 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $81Our pick

Travel from Barcelona to Montserrat by air-conditioned bus and cogwheel train, tour the monastery and Basilica, then choose wine tasting with tapas or a full lunch at a castle winery. Guides such as Thais, Toni, Mariana, and Lesly are praised for clear history, humor, and thoughtful help.

“From the beginning to the end the trip was amazing. Vince, our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable and just an amazing human. Monserrat was unlike any place we have ever been. The beauty, history and spiritual feeling will be with us forever. The winery was beautiful. True Spain. If you do nothing else while in Barcelona do this. Side note, although beautiful the ride down the mountain was terrifying if you are afraid of heights but truly magnificent. Thank you Vince for a perfect day! 🥰Virgina”

This tour easily was the highlight of our trip. The food we ate in every restaurant was fantastic, fresh, and authentic. The format of the tour was great. But the two reasons why I am writing this review is for the group we shared the experience with and our guide Juan Felipe. Our group was small, around 10. My wife and I are from the US, and we were joined by a great group…”

I enjoyed tour because the company was good, but compared to all the other tapas I've had here, this was very mediocre and pretty small portions. There must be a pretty high profit margin on this tour! The 4 stars are mainly for our lively tour guide”

The combination of delicious, authentic tapas and the fascinating stories behind the Gothic architecture made for a truly memorable experience. Our tour guide was A+—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate, which made the history come alive while keeping the group entertained. (I’m terrible with names, so I still don’t remember hers—even after seeing her the next day at Batlló!) Every stop felt thoughtfully curated, and the pace was perfect to enjoy both the food and the history without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a mix of culinary delight and rich cultural insight!”
