I had an amazing experience! I booked the tour through the GetYourGuide app, and my tour guide was Lesley. Lesley not only had a great sense of humor, but she was also very knowledgeable about the history of the buildings, landmarks, and wines that were presented during the tour. She engaged each and every tourist, and encouraged us to engage with one another as well. I met many new people from all over the world as a result. Lesley also went above and beyond, and gave us a list of recommendations for places we should visit while we are still in Barcelona. I’m sure our entire group will miss her positive energy once we depart from Barcelona.
Now that I have given Lesley her flowers, I will speak more on the tour itself. The Montserrat was rich with culture. We rode a train up through the mountains in order to get there. Once we arrived we had the option to eat in the cafe, travel further up the mountain, visit the monk temple, buy cheeses and other agriculture from the local farmers, peruse the gift shop, and try some of the liquor. After leaving the Montserrat we went to the winery where we were taught how wine is made in the region while being able to taste different types of wine.
Overall, 100 out of 5 rating. Pro tip, if you go during the winter time TAKE A HEAVY COAT. You’ll thank me later.
