Laura did such a great job as our tour guide. Most of the group was admittedly dragging a bit today and the energy was low to start. She did a great job of making the tour fun and interactive. By the end, we all were having a fun time! Would recommend this tour to a friend.

The monastery visit was well beyond expectations. We could have easily spent a couple more hours there. Accolades to our guide, Ivan, who made every moment magical by sharing his expertise on and passion for Catalunya. The wine tasting was icing on the cake.

We went on our trip yesterday and had a wonderful day. Our tour guide Berta was friendly and tried to get to know all the participants. Montserrat is very beautiful and the history behind it is amazing Wish we could have spent more time there though. We only had about an hour and half of free time. The wine tasting and tapas was also fun. The winery is a small family owned operation. We liked the three wines we were given.

I was a solo traveller and realised I was likely to arrive late as I took a wrong train. When I phoned the desk your staff could not have been more helpful, checking that I was on the right train finally and personally bringing me to the bus with just minutes to spare. Then I was with Luca, who had a kindness and gentle charm and also very knowledgeable. His ability to remember everyone's name amazed me as I never say him check notes and as a solo traveller I felt very safe and well looked after. You have an excellent team and I will recommend your tours. Thank you for making this tour the highlight of my trip

Our tour guide was Gus and he was fantastic. He was so informative, but in an entertaining and tangible way to understand everything. He was kind, patient, able to keep us on time and to have fun. Our winery tour was wonderful, and we enjoyed all the information. It was my birthday that day, and it was a special celebration for me. Thank you Gus very much, we will book tours through you next time we travel. Bob and I wish you well.

Awesome trip.
