Private Montserrat Tour & Penedès Wine Tasting Reviews

Peaceful Morning at Montserrat, Perfect Afternoon in Penedès

The early morning arrival at Montserrat was absolutely worth it—quiet, mystical, and beautifully lit by the sunrise. Our guide, Elena, shared fascinating details about the Black Madonna that added so much meaning to the visit. The winery in Penedès was equally memorable, especially sampling their small-batch cava. A perfect balance of culture and wine.

A Private Tour That Felt Truly Personal

We booked this for our anniversary, and LivTours delivered such a thoughtful experience. Marco, our guide, adapted the pace to exactly what we wanted and even helped us capture some incredible photos from the funicular viewpoint. The cava tasting at the family-run vineyard was intimate and delicious. Highly recommend for couples.

Montser­rat with Teens — Surprisingly a Hit!

Traveling with two teenagers usually means mixed reviews, but they loved this tour! Touching the Black Madonna was a special moment for all of us, and the mountain views kept the kids engaged. Lunch at the vineyard was fantastic—simple dishes but full of flavor. A wonderful family memory.

A Day of Beauty, History, and Cava

Montserrat in the morning was breathtaking, almost surreal with the mist rolling over the peaks. After exploring the monastery, we enjoyed a leisurely tasting at a charming Penedès winery. I appreciated learning about the biodynamic methods they use. A well-organized and relaxing day trip.

Great Guide, Great Wine, Great Views

Our guide Davide was excellent—warm, knowledgeable, and full of interesting anecdotes about the monks and the region. The views from Montserrat alone are worth the trip, but the cava tasting afterward was the cherry on top. I bought two bottles to take home.

Ideal Day Trip from Barcelona

We wanted something outside the city, and this was perfect. The monastery visit felt spiritual even for someone not religious. The wine tasting was intimate, and the winemaker personally explained their cava method. Wonderful blend of culture and relaxation.

Relaxed, Informative, and Delicious

LivTours made the entire day feel effortless. Montserrat’s rocky formations were unlike anything I’d seen before. The tapas lunch at the vineyard was surprisingly generous, with local cheeses and excellent olive oil. I learned so much about cava production.

Stunning Landscapes and Incredible Local Wine

If you appreciate dramatic landscapes and good wine, this tour is for you. I loved hearing the history of the boys choir and seeing the basilica before crowds arrived. The family winery felt very authentic; you could tell they were passionate about their craft.

A Highlight of Our Spain Trip

From the moment our driver picked us up, the day felt seamless. Our guide Giulia explained the symbolism behind Montserrat’s architecture in a way that was both accessible and fascinating. The cava tasting—especially the rosé—was delightful. One of the best tours we’ve taken.

Perfect for a Multigenerational Group

We traveled with grandparents and a 9-year-old, and the pacing was perfect for everyone. The monastery visit was serene, and the free time allowed us to wander at our own speed. The vineyard lunch felt like dining with locals. Very thoughtful itinerary.
