“This was by far the best tour we had in Barcelona! The booking process was easy and the provider was easy to communicate with and answered all our questions when booking. Our guide, Giacomo, was so knowledgeable about the region, the wine, the wine making process and everything about our tour. It was specially exceptional because we were the only ones on the whole tour, we had a private transfer to and from the tour, a private horse ride and a private lunch in the countryside of Penedes. The drive to and from was easy. Giacomo was a fantastic guide. Our horse riding experience started at a traditional Spanish horse…”

“De wandeltocht was geweldig. We hadden een enthousiaste en goed Engels sprekende gids. Ze kende de stad op haar duimpje en wist het op een leuke, verhalende manier te vertellen.
