5.00Carlos was an incredible tour guide! We had an incredible time seeing the monastery and tasting some delicious wine. We just wish there was an extra 30 minutes of free time at the monastery. But a must see location for first time visitors!
Amazing and exceptional!

5.00Carlos, our tour guide, was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable, personable and friendly. His stories had a sense of humour, and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to him!! He was also helpful in providing us with some recommendations on what to see and where to eat. We were lucky to have him as our leader.

5.00In addition to the location and the experience, Ivan was a wonderful tour guide! It was great to be in a small group for Montserrat and get his advice on how to spend our free time. We could have used another 5-10 minutes of free time, but otherwise it was the perfect amount of time to explore the area and the views. The winery experience was also lovely. Ivan did a fantastic job explaining the wines and we appreciated his perspective and how he described wine tasting in such an approachable way. Cost seemed reasonable for the amount of time and what was included.
