About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- john w0 contributionsMemorable day in BarcelonaTruly a magical day, and I could go on and on. Marc picked us up promptly right in time. Then a scenic informative drive to the stables. Rode horses thru a beautiful vineyard and then to the Albeit winery. Delicious tapas and wine tasting.Written November 28, 2024
- 667mikp0 contributionsWhat a GREAT and relaxing tour!My wife and I set out on a dream vacation to Europe. Our final 2 weeks were spent in Barcelona. Through our travel agent, we had randomly selected a vineyard tour on horseback followed by a winery tour and wine tasting with Barcelona By Road. Our driver, Marc, picked us up from our hotel near Placa de Catalunya promptly on schedule. He proceeded to drive us out into wine country. Along the way, he pointed out various points of interest and explained their significance in history or culture. He was a very engaging and infectous conversationalist and we could sense the deep pride he has for his country. While my wife and I rode horses through the vineyard, Marc waited patiently in the stable picnic area for us to return and then we all enjoyed a light snack and drink before proceeding to the winery. After the tour, we enjoyed a tasting and finally lunch before heading back to Barcelona. Barcelona By Road is an amazing and attentive premiere tour company!Written July 2, 2024
- glindgren0 contributionsFantastic Tours in BarcelonaBarcelona by Road put together a fantastic set of tours for four of us in Barcelona. First was a scrumptious tapas walking tour of the best places in Barcelona's gothic quarter. Next was an expert private-guided tour of the La Sagrada Familia church followed by dinner at a VIP table at the hip, modern Catalan restaurant Fismuler - great energy! Thanks to Marc's experience and his relationships with local guides and experts, all the tours are extremely well-curated. He's very professional and delivers uniquely crafted, tailor-made experiences. Would gladly continue to use Barcelona by Road when touring the area. Five stars.Written February 6, 2024
- B6467RLjuliah0 contributionsDon't wait, just book it.Highly recommend to book a tour with Marc. This was by far the best activity we have done in the Barcelona area. Marc organized a Horseback riding tour and a vinary tour including local sourced lunch, which was absolutely fantastic. Marc took amazing care of us and we could sit back and relax the whole time.Written May 30, 2023
- Vacation7708460 contributionsMemories MadeSuch a memorable day! Marc was the perfect host, and the two wineries that we visited were fantastic! Loved the tours of the inter workings and history of each. Also fascinating to learn how these organic operations are dealing with our changing climate. And of course, outstanding wine and food!!!Written May 4, 2023
- jackhwiggins0 contributionsMarc, Leo, y CarlesGreat tour! Leo (our driver) was extremely personable and fantastic with lots of life stories. Our horses were extremely calm and fun to be around and the winery was so nice and pleasant! Marc was also extremely kind, responsive, and accommodating. Will definitely be recommending this to friends for the future!Written March 20, 2023

- L1591VFclaudiaa0 contributionsAmazing. You will not regretIncredible. Worth the price. We found cheaper options and glad we splurged. We had an incredible day that we will remember forever. Everything about the service and experience was top notch. Jordi was a great guide. The wineries were exceptional. One traditional and one modern. Highly recommend. Highlight of our trip.Written June 30, 2022
- dlmatlanta0 contributionsThe perfect dayThis was a beautiful day. Great wine, great views, a great tour, a great lunch. Our guide Marc was delightful, friendly, and enthusiastic. You can tell he loves his job! Highly recommend.Written June 20, 2022
- Rich L0 contributionsFantastic tour of Montserrat Monastery and Jean Leon winery tourThoroughly enjoyed our day with Marc. Everything went as planned. Our driver and Marc were excellent. Had a new Mercedes van to travel the 2.5 hours to Monserrat. One note, the drive up the mountain is very steep with a lot of curves. Our adult daughter sitting in the back of van did not do so well. Our driver and Marc handled it with complete professionalism and compassion. Marc was very knowledgeable of the monastery and surrounding area. Kept it interesting throughout the tour. The winery Jean Leon was a perfect choice. The wine was good as was the lunch. Very friendly and very open to showing us their entire operation. Would definitely do another tour with Marc and his crew!Written March 26, 2022
- Moshni0 contributionsPerfect rural getaway for two ❤️This horseback ride and wine tasting tour was a present for my husband’s birthday and we both absolutely loved it! Marc was great and very helpful since day one when i contacted him to get some extra information. He picked us from the house and drove us all the way to the Penedes wine region where we did our horse riding in the country - beautiful - and then wine tasting at a lovely ecologic winery nearby. The wine guide was amazing too, we just walked around the vineyards drinking wine and talking about wine. A simple catalán lunch was served for us in a gorgeous setting in a beautiful garden overlooking the vineyards. We wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you ❤️Written March 17, 2022
- Marissa C0 contributionsBest Day in Wine CountryWe had a great day in the Priorat area. It is easily the most beautiful wine country I've visited. Marc was great - he set everything up so we didn't have to make any decisions. He was friendly, engaging, and entertaining. We just had to show up ready to drink tasty wines and eat a delicious lunch. I'd do this again in a heartbeat to try some different wineries in the region. Book your tour already!Written September 23, 2021

We enjoyed Marc's knowledge and enthusiasm so much on our previous tour, we asked if he was available for a drive to tour Montserrat the next day. Because it was such short notice, he had to make some phone calls and make special arrangements to accommodate our request- But he got it done! Montserrat is a truly powerful and humbling place and features some magnificent views of the valley below.
After Montserrat, we went to newer winery and learned a whole different grape growth and bottling philosophy than our first winery... along with another tasting, of course :-)
It was here that we learned Marc wasn't just a driver for Barcelona By Road, but its Founder & CEO. We absolutely appreciated his time, attentiveness and dedication to us and our happiness.
It is my opinion that you simply cannot go wrong booking a tour with Barcelona By Road!

Hi Mike, our goal is to make your experience even more memorable with our personal touch, Montserrat always leaves a deep impression.
The winery visit was a great contrast to our previous stop, allowing to explore different perspectives on grape cultivation and wine production. It’s amazing how each place can offer a unique experience. Thanks for your kind appreciation to our time with you.
Your enthusiasm and recommendation towards Barcelona By Road services, fulfill your time with us. Thanks once again!!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Montserrat and the tapas and wine tasting. Marc was our guide and he was excellent. The views from Montserrat are spectacular & worth the trip up the mountain (the roads are great). Marc's enthusiasm and friendliness as well as the perfect weather made the day one of our best in Spain. If you are traveling in Barcelona and want a terrific experience with a wonderful guide, good food and delicious wine, this should definitely be in your itinerary.

Barcelona by Road put together a wonderful day trip for four to Montserrat and Penedes wine country. First was the Monastery of Montserrat for a private tour and guided hike, then we were treated to a curated tasting lunch at one of the best Penedes wineries followed by a tasting of Cava at one of the area's best cava makers. It was an absolutely beautiful day.
Marc's experience and relationships with local wineries and experts meant that the tours were extremely well-curated, bespoke experiences. Would gladly continue to use Barcelona by Road when touring the area. Five stars.
