    We would highly recommend going on any tour with Elvira. She was extremely knowledgable, personable and went out of her way to tailor the excursion for us. We saw many hidden treasures that we would not have ever seen and they were the BEST parts of our trip!

    Elvira! You were resourceful, thoughtful, kind, and very knowledgeable. Thank you for pulling together our ‘hidden gems’ tour on one of the few days Barcelona has a holiday and all (well, nearly!) the local restaurants were closed. We certainly recommend your tour highly and yes, we will be back!

    Full-day Montserrat and Winery Tour: From Barcelona With Private Transportation (8 Hours)

    For those who like to explore to different unique local places with not many tourist, this is for you! I loved the winery in the middle of the village,never seen winelands in and urban space! The wine was great and our guide Elvira too.

    We spent 4 hours with Elvira and learned more about Spain and Barcelona than we did in high school. A very informative tour , entertaining and hit all the spots. She is a wealth of knowledge and is a passionate local who likes to share. Thanks for a great day and we would highly recommend Elvira for you tour, you will not be disappointed.
