Barcelona and Monserrat
U7040IMsandrah, 28-09-2022
Our tour was a great experience. The tour was well planned to show us the highlights of Barcelona and Monserrat was spectacular. Our guide Matt made the tour very interesting with his knowledge of the history of Barcelona. It was a busy, full day but well worth it. Would recommend this tour and also our guide Matt.

Our guide, Joan was exceptional. He made our tour enjoyable and memorable. All of your guides should strive to be this friendly, knowledgeable and excited to show off the many things to see in Barcelona.
Complete intro to Barcelona, Unforgettable!!!
caveP, 25-09-2022
Fabulous small group tour with our family. Matt picked us up at our Hotel and proceeded to introduce our group to his Barcelona. We thoroughly enjoyed the pace and information delivered. A memorable trip through the city by car and on foot. Sagrada Familia was amazing and a break for lunch fortified us for the afternoon excursion to Montserrat. This must be experienced for its breathtaking views and sacred history. A total immersive experience.
Great experience. Learned a lot of things about Barcelona and got familiarized with the city with the help of our guide.

James_D, 08-12-2022
The information shared by our tour guide Liana. She was a wealth of information and facts. We had a fun and fantastic day. She made us feel like family. We learned more about Barcelona and Montserrat than we ever thought possible. So very very happy that Liana was our guide.
Fantastic tour
Tonya_C, 03-12-2022
Our guide Daniel was prompt, friendly, and informative. He was attentive to the needs of the group and made sure everyone felt included. Another person from our traveling group also booked this tour but she was put in a different group even though we were at the same hotel so multiples should all book together. Loved this tour
Best Barcelona Welcome
Debbie K, 02-12-2022
Had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with Mateus touring Barcelona in the morning and then a trip to Montserrat in the afternoon. I decided to book my tour for the first day of my trip to get oriented to Barcelona in general and ensure I had time for two of the big highlights. As it is low season, I lucked out by being the only person in the first half of the tour.
Matt was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and made sure to point out even the smallest details. He answered all my questions, gave me context for current events in the region, and helped me get my bearing in the city. He had a great lunch recommendation for the break between the first and second half of the day.
In the afternoon we picked up a few more people and headed to Montserrat.
It is definitely worth the trip outside of Barcelona, and even more convenient to have done it through a tour. Again, Matt knew so much about the history of Montserrat, it helped us to appreciate everything we were seeing.
As a female traveling alone I feel it's important to highlight that I felt incredibly safe with Matt, who was an absolute professional and a delight as a guide.
This was the best possible way for me to kick off my Barcelona trip. I highly recommend exploring with Mateus!
Daniel is awesome

An amazing one-day tour.
Compass28451456085, 26-12-2022
After booking your flight and your hotel you should consider booking this tour as well. It was a one full day trip and I really enjoyed it. Luis was our tour guide and he was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to you. Don’t spend too much time eating as for your lunch then you would have time to go to the top of the Montserrat mountain as well.
Possibly one of the best guide in Barcelona!
JackF527, 23-12-2022
Our guide, Vincent, come to meet us in our hotel on time. From there, we enjoyed every minute of our tour with him. He is very friendly and can handle from small kids to grandma with ease! He is very knowledgeable with the tour and time everything perfectly.
Our driver, Joaquin, was also a great driver and bring us to all destination with no problem at all!
Overall, we had a great experience with both of them and we hope to be able to have them as our guide in one of our future tours in Barcelona!
Surprise
