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

A must-do Barcelona experience
Kevin_W
, Jun 2022
Without a doubt, a Barcelona highlight, and I would count on the must-do list. Our guide, Toni, was absolutely awesome--he knew the history, the area, and with respect to the wine, was expert as well. 10 stars! Montserrat is definitely worth the visit, but made much better in our tour with Toni...additionally, the winery visited was awesome and capped off out Spain visit. This was a top-notch tour and I would recommend it (and Toni) to anyone....thanks!

Disorganized and rushed
John_R
, Jun 2022
The visit to Montserrat felt rushed and disorganized. We were given a quick tour of where everything was, and then had one hour to do everything. The quickest appointment to see the statue of the Virgin (you need a separate appointment) was after we had to leave. The boys choir was replaced with an elderly priest (not their fault, but would've been nice to know so we didn't waste time trying to attend). Just waiting in line to buy breakfast took 25mins. Lunch was good, but longer than necessary. The wine tasting was just ok. The tour guide and the people we met made it worth it, but the overall design of the tour was lacking. If you want a wine tour, take a wine tour. If you want Montserrat, go there. But this all-in-one approach was clunky.

Monserrat is lovely

We loved Monserrat. Could have skipped the wine tasting. We didn't care for the wine and it was a waste of our time.

Dear Ronald, Thank you for your review on our recent tours, we are glad you enjoyed Montserrat. Sorry to hear the wine tasting didn't meet your expectations. we try to do the perfect equilibrium between our cultural visit to Montserrat and the wine tasting at the vineyard. I would love to say that, as this is a winetour, we give extended information about Oller del Mas winery and their products and at the same time, we offer tapas or lunch with those wines. For that reason, we think the best option for you would have been our Montserrat Highlights tour, that it is a much shorter and only includes the visit to Montserrat or another option could have been notifiying us that you didn't wanted to do the wine part, and offer a solution for you to comeback after the monastery visit. In any case, we are very sorry that you considered the wine tasting a waste of time, we hope to have the opportunity in the future to show you that is worth it. Hope the rest of Barcelona was great, Castlexperience team

Magical well-rounded and organized tour
kara_y

WOW! This tour was magic! It was well organized and coordinated with bus rides in large, clean buses; train ride up the mountain; Monastery and area visits; delicious lunch/wine; and fine wine tasting in gorgeous castle. To top it all off was the outstanding guide JON, who was authentically kind and humorous, as well as informative and interesting in the provision of historical, cultural, and current commentary. He made the tour so special with his skill in engaging our group as a whole and individually … with respect and genuine care. Thank you Jon!

Barcelona - Madrid Trip
Victor_P
, Jun 2022
Yesterday’s tour with Jon (our assigned tour guide) was by far the BEST tour that my good friend Reinaldo and I, have been on thus far on this trip! From the bus ride, the information given about Monserrat’s history, visit to the monastery/church, the lunch, and visit to the winery - Jon was exceptionally PHENOMENAL! He’s a very charismatic, knowledgeable, super accommodating, friendly and approachable individual! As a plus, I’d mentioned to him that it was Reinaldo’s birthday and to my surprise he had the staff bring out a small desert with a single candle and encouraged the entire group sing “Happy Birthday” - I appreciate him going out of his way to do this! Overall, our experience was amazing! If I could rate it as 100% I definitely would! 10****across the board! Thank you again for the wonderful experience, Víctor Pimentel

This Tour Will Eat Up Most of Your Day, But It’s Worth It
Marc_M

My friends dragged me along for this tour and I did not know what to expect nor know what Monserrat was, but I came out knowing a lot more at the end. My tour guide Violeta, was a very friendly and welcoming guide who gave us ample history and facts, but also made sure we had maximum free time exploring Monserrat. Although the Monserrat part of this tour was a little short, it was more than enough to accomplish whatever activity you choose to do during your hour or so of free time. After Monserrat came the lunch and wine tour, and I have to say that was excellent. The meal was enough and the winery was a beautiful sight. The wine tasting too was amazing. Overall the tour was more than I expected. FYI we got back to the bus station at 6:40pm. Thank you for the wonderful tour Violeta!
