Montse was an excellent guide! Her pride and knowledge of her country and the Catalans was immense the enthusiasm she exhibited was refreshing. She was extremely helpful in helping us purchase jamon and other meats as well as taking us to a pop up market to purchase wine. I would recommend her as a guide.”

As a solo traveler, this was a great tour and we went to places I would have never found on my own. I was especially impressed with his integrity.
