Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Elvira was very knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us and what our preferences were"
"We had an absolutely amazing day with Xavi. We were in Barcelona for a week and by far this was THE best adventure we had. Xavi picked us up and explained a lot about the history of Montserrat and culture on our way there and then we started by seeing the Basilica and the Black Madonna. We then went for a two hour hike all around the mountains of Montserrat which was incredibly beautiful to be in the clouds- so peaceful and serene. Hiking around the mountains is a must do- as you are away from the tourists and you get to visit so many of the hermitage sites that are built into the mountains. Xavi was the best as he gave us such a wealth of information about these sites. It’s absolutely beautiful to be surrounded by the mountains and forest and history. After the hike we enjoyed an amazing Catalan lunch and then went and visited the Museum which had Picasso and Dali paintings. This is an amazing experience. And we highly recommend Xavi. At the end we felt like family and learned so much from him. If you enjoy being active- DO THIS hiking excursion! "
"Elvira was very enthusiastic and fun while she shared her knowledge of Montserat and the surrounding area. We added on a late afternon meal at a former olive mill farmhouse with lots of history and charm. Great experience! "

"Elvira was very attentive and took the tone to keep our pre- teen daughter involved in the activity. The monastery is a soul fulfilling experience. While the winery tour was fun and personalize. Highly recommend Elvira, she personalizes and customizes the tour. 10 stars !!!!!"
"Stepan was an absolute pleasure and highly knowledgeable. My wife and I highly recommend him and appreciated our day together!!"
"We went wine tasting and to Montserrat with Elvira. It was a really cold day, but I can't blame that on Elvira. Despite the cold we had a lovely day. Good wine and interesting conversation with both Elvira and the young owner of the winery. The monastery was also nice, and I think we will come back on a warmer day. Elvira knows a lot and shares her knowledge in an inviting way as she is also clearly interested in what we said. Very interesting to hear about the history of Catalonia. The car was not really suited for elderly people After the trip Elvira sent suggestions for other excursions and recommendations for restaurants. Can only recommend Elvira"
"Elvira created the perfect custom itinerary for us, 2 beautiful wineries plus a tour of Montserrat. Highly recommend reaching out to her for a customized tour! Don’t just do Montserrat, explore the area for a full day with Elvira!"
"What an awesome experience! Loved everything about it. Elvira is knowledgeable and passionate about Spanish history and culture. She was flexible with our time and made the entire trip enjoyable and informative. "
"We had the best day with Elvira - she was so accommodating and knowledgeable. She took us to the usual parts of the Abby but also to the newly opened museum that no one seemed to know about - it was like a private showing! From the Abby to the winery she took us on back roads so we could see more of the areas natural beauty. The winery was fantastic - small, intimate with amazing Catalonian wine. Elvira was a wonderful person to spend the day with!"
