Embark on this well-paced full-day experience that will take you from Barcelona city center to the heart of Barcelona’s countryside. After departure, your first destination will be the scenic Monastery of Montserrat. A whole morning of astounding landscape, views and history await there. After enjoying a one-hour-long tour through the highlights of Montserrat Monastery, you will have more free time. Contemplate the splendid views while doing a short hike, be amazed by the art collection in Montserrat Museum, enjoy the Boys’ Choir, or sample some of the delicacies you can find in the shop and the local farmer’s market. Your guide will advise on all your options depending on your interests so that you can explore it on your own

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Oller del Mas, Carretera Igualada Km 91, 08241 Manresa Spain

Oller del Mas is not a common winery – its superb ecological wines have earned plenty of awards in the recent years. In fact, one of its wines won the “Best Wine in Catalonia” award in 2018. But the cellar is not only special for its wines. Firstly, you will enjoy a full traditional lunch prepared in their restaurant with seasonal ingredients. A full restoring meal to keep going with this full day experience! After lunch, you will take a stroll by the vineyards and enjoy an introduction to wine tasting thanks to your tour guide, who will provide with three local wines to taste and many explanations!
*We work daily with different low-production, family-owned boutique wineries. Due to logistic reasons, you might visit another cellar instead of Oller del Mas.

Duration: 3 hours

    Susanna was a great guide — extremely well informed and an excellent communicator. We enjoyed her explanations and appreciated the opinions she shared. Despite the cold foggy weather, it was a lively day.

    This was truly one of the best combined day tours I've ever experienced. My friend and I had an exceptional time, starting our journey at the sacred and majestic Montserrat Abbey. The atmosphere was serene, and the scenery was breathtaking. Our lunch was not only delicious but also served in a beautiful setting, adding to the overall enjoyment of the experience. As if that weren't enough, the wine tasting at the end of the tour, coupled with some free time to mingle with fellow travelers, was the perfect way to conclude our day. I cannot praise Lesly, our tour guide, enough. Her knowledge, charm, and sense of humor added immensely to our enjoyment. Her energy truly made a difference, especially during a long day tour like this one. Furthermore, Lesly's depth of knowledge on various topics was truly impressive and greatly appreciated, especially for those of us with curious minds. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to everyone. It was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations.

    Had a great tour. Suzanna was the best. She was funny and insightful. She could be a professional comedian if she wanted. She was hands down the best tour guide I have had on any tour period. Montserrat was incredible as was the winery and such. Would highly recommend this tour.

    Our tour guide, Delph was attentive, informative and knowledgeable. She was able to give concise and factual information, relevant to the places we visited, in a way that was easy to understand and not overwhelming. Delph has a sense of humour. Her cheerful disposition and positive attitude brought our whole tour group of strangers together and we all had fun!!

    Laura and Vince gave us the best experience ever! The tour was filled with fascinating and insightful history and facts, and the wine tasting was a rich experience with tasting notes from our wonderful guides. After the tour, Laura told us it was her very first one, and we still don’t believe it!

    We had such a great time on our Montserrat day trip. Our tour guide Judit was lovely and funny which made the trip much more enjoyable!! I mean we already enjoyed it well with the sceneries, food and wine, but having a great guide who gave us context on history and tips is such a great addition to the trip. would highly recommend this trip to anyone who would wish to explore the Catalan countryside. Time was even spaced between sites thus allowed us to explore each stops.

    Montserrat is a hidden gem with breathtaking views. The history contained in such a small place is incredible; the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and brought everything together through facts and story telling. The tour guides, especially Daniel, made the entire experience top notch. The lunch and winery tour / tasting was also phenomenal. I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering it.
