Alexandra –
My trip to Spain was greatly enhanced by our wonderful tour guide Ivan. His knowledge of the early history of Tarragosa and Resu was a highlight of my trip, beginning with the stop for a view of the aqueduct, then the ancient ruins scattered throughout the city as well as the unexpected wedding at the Cathedral. This was followed by a visit to an olive plantation that was both fun and educational. Definitely a new experience for me. I would highly recommend this trip with Ivan.

Since I had a party of four, I arranged a private tour with Ivan. I was in Barcelona celebrating my Aunt’s 75th Birthday, and I wanted a unique experience that balanced the frenzy of Barcelona. Ivan did a fantastic job. He had a very comfortable vehicle, spoke great English and provided historical context all through the tour. This tour takes you on a drive through the Cava and wine region, which is a beautiful, while taking in some unique stops along the way. We continued onward to experience some smaller towns, like Tarragona and Reus that had incredible historical relevance to the history of Catalonia. Ivan provided historical information on the entire excursion. It rained some, so he had to quickly adjust which he did well. We had a wonderful experience at the Olive farm, touring the Olive oil plant and experienced fresh Olive oil right out of the press. The owners at Moli d Oli Mas Montseny were very friendly and gave us an up-close tour and unique experience. I can’t recommend this day trip enough as an alternate yet super enjoyable experience just outside Barcelona.
