This tour was fantastic! My husband and I were lucky enough to be the only ones signed up that day and ended up getting a private tour with our guide Antoine from Spanish Trails. He was knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very patient and accommodating to our interests and needs (including my accessibility issues needing a cane for walking up inclines and stairs). The visit to Montserrat was beautiful and interesting, including the basilica, atrium, cloisters, the museum (which had an impressive collection of art work and a room with the old medieval walls), and the farmers market with samples. The Catalan lunch in Monistrol followed by a winery tour and tasting in the Penedès region were also interesting. Antoine himself is a lovely person who clearly enjoys his job and, given his experience, made the day as easy and enjoyable for us as he could. I would recommend this tour and Antoine as the guide for any excursions in and around Barcelona and region.
