Uncover the best of Hiking the local Way

"My family and I had a wonderful with Stepan during this adventure. He is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He also adapted the hike as it was rigorous for me (I had never done this type of hike before). We visited the San Gil cave and the sanctuary. It was wonderful to get out of the city. We would certainly do another excursion with him again."

"I highly recommend Elvira as a private tour guide and had the pleasure of visiting Montserrat with her as a first time visitor to Spain. Elvira was professional, well informed and the depth of her knowledge of the history of Montserrat was impressive. She shared information about St. Ignatius, the founding of the Jesuit order, the Black Madonna, the history of the boys' choir and the list could go on and on. She was a tremendous guide!"

"Juan was an excellent guide for our time on Montserrat. We had an awesome time hiking the mountain and seeing parts of it beyond the main path. His knowledge of the religious importance was insightful to understanding its place in Catalonian history. His explanations on how the land and mountain developed over eons brought a connection to the hike for us to appreciate its unique beauty. Was a wonderful day, excellent lunch suggestion and although exhausting we could have continued hiking with Juan and his charming engaging personality. "

"Elvira was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable and showed us a great time. The boutique winery we went to was outstanding! "

"Elvira is true local from Barcelona! We had a wonderful time on our tour and appreciate all the interesting insight she provided. The highlight of the tour was the hike and especially the delicious paella with roasted spring onion lunch at the winery. Elvira was an awesome guide."

"Sergi was wonderful! He led a great tour. He was very knowledgeable and kind. Would recommend to anyone!"

"Overall great trip. We booked her last minute but she worked hard to make sure we had the best experience. "

"We hired Elvira for two different events, a food tour and a trip to Montserrat followed by a winery visit. Elvira was a class act! She was friendly, welcoming, warm and very informative. We were a multigenerational group, and Elvira was able to meet all our needs. She displayed strong problem-solving skills when obtaining a car seat for our youngest member and getting grandma a closer look at the Black Madonna at Montserrat. During the food tour Elvira walked us around the food market where we tasted lots of regional delights. Elvira explained food and drink customs, and we dined at a traditional bodega and a family-owned sweets shop. During our trip to Montserrat, Elvira provided historical information about the site and its significance through the ages. She walked us through the museum, including a stroll through the art wing which housed an impressive collection. The location was stunning, and she helped us take some lovely family pictures. We continued the day at a local family-owned winery where we enjoyed learning more about wine production and sampled Spanish wines while munching on tasty snacks. Elvira was gracious, friendly, funny, and knowledgeable throughout. I would highly recommend Elvira as a guide for your travels in Spain."

"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! "
