We had an unforgettable private tour to Montserrat and the Penedès wine region with Mariela from Spanish Trails. Mariela was warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the history and culture come alive. We toured the breathtaking monastery, enjoyed a delicious Catalan lunch, and had an amazing private wine tasting at a boutique vineyard—truly a perfect day!
We happened to go on St. George’s Day, which made Barcelona’s city traffic nearly impossible—so leave extra time for pickups on major holidays. Also, the famous Boys’ Choir was on break and didn’t perform that day, so definitely check availability before you book if that’s a priority. Even with those hiccups, the tour exceeded all expectations—absolutely recommended!
