This mountain is home to one of the most important religious sites in Spain. A residence for the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, the mountain is visited not only by those seeking spiritual rewards but also by those looking for one of the most spectaculars views of Catalonia. The history of Montserrat goes back to 880 when a group of shepherd children saw a bright light descending from the sky in the Montserrat mountains. The monks are also the owners of the Publicacions de l'Abadia de Montserrat, a publishing house that continues to operate today. It is the oldest press in the world, having published its first book in 1499. Music lovers will appreciate L'Escolania choir, a boys' choir of sopranos and altos based at the Benedictine abbey. They perform every day at the Basilica of Montserrat.

There were five in our group that went to Montserrat and Torres Winery. We were picked up on time as promised by a couple who were driving a very spacious and clean Mercedes van. The guide was very informative on our trip. We went to the Cava first and then to a great lunch at a very local restaurant before going to Montserrat. The whole trip was very enjoyable and our host/guide made the excursion a real pleasure. I would certainly book again with Soberti Transfers and Tours. Our trip was in late November with great weather. Our trip was booked under the name McCabe.

We spent 3 days in Barcelona on a private tour with Barcelona's Best Tour Guide, Feliciano. We visited Montserrat, the wine district, Costa Brava and Barcelona city sights. Feliciano makes you feel just like family. He is warm, kind, funny and so knowledgable with impeccable English. What he doesn't know about the beautiful Catalunya region of Spain is probably not worth knowing. Our experience was so much richer in his hands. Can't wait to go back and again.

Fabulous experience!! Priscila was the best tour guide. She walked us thru Gothic streets and took us to places that was not part of the tour. So worth the tour and highly recommend Priscila who speaks very fluent English and has immense patience. She is extremely knowledgable and engages us in the history of each site we had been to. Perfectly paced tour with a nice coffee break and a decent lunch.

This is going to be a much delayed review and for that I am sorry. We used the service in September 2019 during our first Mediterranean cruise. It was our first big trip and I wanted my husband to LOVE the experience so I worked at finding providers that exceeded all expectations. Barcelona Day Tours did that for us. Communication prior and reservation was easy and well done. Airport arrival found our guide Christian exactly where we expected. We has a marvelous day and he kept us entertained with stories and the sights. We also had skip the line to Park Guell which worked great. As the tour was ending and jet lag starting to set in we got dropped off right at the entry to our cruise ship, no issues, no worries. I was so pleased with a super special private start to our big trip.
