Absolutely out of this world! Had the best time on this tour. Well worth going! The guide at the vineyard was fantastic as was James (the guy who picks you up from your accommodation). The views from Siurana were breathtaking. We made it just in time for sunset after the wine tour! The group on the tour was only 6 people which was nice. You will not regret going to Priorat!

Salou: Priorat & Siurana Wine-Cellar Tour with Wine Tasting Reviewed by Tara, 27/10/2019

Our tour of mountains outside Salou/Tarragona was amazing. We experienced some amazing vistas of the region, and we visited some very beautiful villages along the way. James and Juan Carlos were both very pleasant and engaging, and they took a genuine interest in the tours they operated and the people they brought. I would strongly recommend this company

Tarragona: Villages & Lake or Waterfalls Jeep Excursion Reviewed by Declan, 15/07/2020

Juan Carlos planned an incredible tour for the three of us. The wine guide Jefferson gave us an unbelievable tour of the facility, from the beginning of history until now. Juan Carlos showed us the Village/Tiny Community of Siurana, so few tourists, exceptional views, and a lovely Restaurant Bar way at the top of the hill. A must tour!

Salou: Priorat & Siurana Wine-Cellar Tour with Wine Tasting Reviewed by Maria, 10/03/2020

This was our first time to Spain. We love visiting amusement parks all over the world and this park exceeded our expectations! There were plenty of fun attractions to enjoy for kids and adults. The roller coasters were awesome! The employees were very friendly. We would take this tour again in the future.

Amazing experience, definitely recommend

Had a fantastic time at our first ever scuba session. Our instructors, Nicky and Luis, were lovely. Both experienced, knowledgeable and patient. Very reassuring as they were both constantly making sure everyone was okay. Would definitely recommend for first timers or beginners. Wonderful experience.
