Great tour and very convenient, especially for solo travelers or groups. It saves you the hassle of planning transportation and the price is worth it. Montserrat was beautiful and the views were amazing. Just a small note: the tour includes wine tasting, but during our visit we only passed by and didn’t get to experience the tasting. Overall, still a wonderful and memorable trip.

The tour with World Experience Barcelona was great! The tour guides, Bosco Wong & Olivia were professional and very friendly. We visited Montserrat, Girona Old Town and Tossa de Mar with comfort and ease. The places were picturesque and definitely worth a visit in Barcelona! :)

It is a great experience for first time visitors of Spain like me and my friend. Fee is fair and worth the price. Our guide, Gaspar, is an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He went above and beyond with the itinerary with his cool music playlist which he curated. He also managed the time well so that we have ample time to explore the places. I cannot complain with delays, because he is so punctual. I loved the small group size as you get to know other travelers, and their experiences, thus, creating a beautiful atmosphere or vibe during the travel times.

Enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Chema was very knowledgeable, engaging, went beyond the standard itinerary, took us to hidden spots and less touristy places, gave tips especially on food that I enjoyed.

Our tour guide, Giulio, was always energetic and passionate when introducing the attractions. His driving skills were safe and comfortable. He cared about each tourist like a friend, and you could feel his genuine love for each attraction and his desire to recommend them to visitors. The three attractions on this itinerary were very rich, and the amount of time spent at each was just right, making for a wonderful and unforgettable travel experience.

The tour was comfortable and useful. The guide came to pick us up from our accommodation and had professional knowledge about the places we visited. The only thing that I personally found disappointing was that, although I requested the tour in Spanish, it was conducted in English, so I could barely understand the guide's explanations. Even so, it was a pleasant and worthwhile time.
