Traveler Tips

  • "Taking this tour leaving Barcelona at 10 am and getting up to the Monastery at 11:30 - 12:00 in tourist season will not allow you time." See review
  • "Do note that there is only ONE winery visited and you get around 4 half-glasses so it's not that much of a tasting exactly." See review
  • "We usually avoid large group tours, but this tour keeps the group size small enough to enjoy." See review

Excellent tour
Josh

We had a fantastic time on the Montserrat tour. Our guide Aurora was very knowledgeable and humorous. You can see beautiful views from the monastery. The vineyard, Oller del Mas, was also a delight. Great wines on a great property. Overall, the whole tour exceeded our expectations.

Luis hosted the best tour I’ve taken in Europe!

I took this tour and I honestly cannot express how much I recommend it. Our tour guide was Luis and he was absolutely fabulous! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and answered any questions, but he was fun and sociable - making a group of strangers feel very at ease. I went for the dinner option and it was amazing. Monserrat was beautiful and of course the wine tasting was great as well! If you have a chance you HAVE to check out this tour.

Wow...! Thank you soooo much for this review, Jessica! This is one of the best reviews ever!! Luis will be very happy to know how much you enjoyed his tour :) Truth is we are very lucky to count with Luis as part of the team. As you said, he is very knowledgeable, and his sense of humor and great energy are contagious! We are very proud to say Castlexperience’s guides are the best of the best! What makes the difference is not how much they know (which, by the way, is a lot), but how much they love to share it! Their enthusiasm for our culture and their friendly and funny personality are the best asset to our tours. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us :)

Excellent trip and guide. The history lessons were excellent and helped you appreciate the culture and rich history of this part of Catalan and The Monastery. The wine and tapas in the castle was excellent. 5 out or 5 from me. Definitely recommended.

Beautiful day in the mountains near Barcelona
Allison_S
, Sep 2021
We had a great time with Borja and the group yesterday. It is a super long day but worth it. Montserrat is a gorgeous mountain town with the basilica and monastery built right in the middle. The history was beautiful and the short hike out to the cross of San Miguel was so worth it. We did the lunch but I recommend the tapas route which is slightly shorter and the lunch food wasn’t all that impressive. The wine tour was great, we were able to taste from the organic winery Oller del Mas (family owned) and enjoy the fabulous views. It was a great day and I would definitely recommend.

Hello Allison! it looks like everything went great on your tour! Borja will be happy to read it :) Visiting Montserrat is a beautiful experience, but the second part of the tour, a.k.a. The Wine, doesn’t sound bad at all, right? Spain has a long history of winemaking, and each area has its own particularities so it is very interesting getting to discover some of them and really appreciate the differences between them! Althoguh knowing about local wine is cool, tasting it and experiencing all you’ve learned is even cooler! You’re right, the full day tour, the one you booked, offers a three course meal lunch in the property's restaurant! But if you want to arrive to Barcelona earlier, the wine tastings on our half day tours are accompanied by some light tapas to pair the wines. All the products we use for the tapas are local, and some come from nearby farms! Thank you for choosing our tours!

Scenery and Monseratt were Wonderful
Judith_L
, Aug 2021
Montserrat was great as was our tour guide David. Both the trip up to and Monserrat were beautiful and we enjoyed visiting the markets there. David was knowledgable and friendly with our group of travelers. We did feel that the three course meal at the winery was not filling for all and that this part of the tour could have been a bit shorter. There was down time while waiting for other groups to join the bus and believe that a half day tour to Monserrat would have been better suited to us.

Hi there! We are very pleased to read that you had nice day with us! Seems you had an amazing and wonderful day in Montserrat! And David…what we can say about him? He is a very passionate and knowledgeable guide! He will be thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with him! We are very sorry to read that the lunch part did not meet your expectations. To be honest with you, it is one of the more complicated part of the tour. As you may notice during your visit, we, Spaniards, have really long lunch times. We talk a lot and we really love our "sobremesa", which is what we call that time after lunch. We really appreciate your comments and we think that there is always room for improvement! Overall, we are happy to know that you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for joining us!

¡Hola, Ana! Thank you so much for stopping by! It looks like you thoroughly enjoyed the tour with your guide :) In Castlexperience we believe there is a way more important to experience a place, than just visiting it. So, for us, the tours are not about sharing information, but about sharing the love for our culture :) And wine…don’t ever forget the wine. Thank you SO much for recommending us!!

Hi there! It looks like everything went great on your tour! We’re happy to read how much you enjoyed Montserrat and the winery part of the tour! It is true that Montserrat’s history is very important in the local culture, but also is the wine! The cellar is an amazing place, isn’t it? For this winery, winemaking is a matter of keeping the tradition of their family alive, so every single drop of their wines contains a bit of their history :) Thank you for choosing our tours!
