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”

4.Montserrat with Black Madonna & Medieval Winery with Tapas/Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,209 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $65

Spend about 9.5 hours traveling from Barcelona to Montserrat and a family-run winery. Your English-speaking guide, such as Laia, Azul, Elena, or Luca, leads the monastery visit, then you choose free-time activities before a Catalan meal, cellar tour, and wine tasting.

“The travel was disjointed - several different tour groups sharing the same bus for different segments of the trip made it difficult to bond with the guide or the group. Felt like I was traveling solo. Monserrat. Was so crowded that I didn’t have enough time to visit all the sites. Our “skip the line” session to see the Black Madonna didn’t see us skip any lines because there were so many groups. Luca was the only saving grace for the trip. He was personable and knowledgeable”

He showed me the sangria. He showed me just topless that he was just putting it together. He’s explaining to me what top means, which I completely did not understand. Everything was so delicious, and then we started on the pasta. It was incredible just the way Luca taught the layering of spices and went to add salt and wanted to not add any more salt. Just simple things, then it led to this grand…”

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”

Alora was very cool - I didn’t expect to see so much of it - didn’t feel rushed at any point. Caminito del Ray was spectacular. My husband and I are in mid-level shape and felt comfortable all day (6.3 km including 42 flights of stairs according to my watch). We’re comfortable with heights too which I would say is a must - that said there was no point in the day where we felt unsafe. The…”
