• Bad tour guide

  Montserrat is a lovely place to visit. The funicular was wild- worth taking up and doing the walk down. Only scary moment was when our tour almost left without us. Our guide, Francesco, told us told come back at 1:55pm then he said 2pm latest because bus leaves at 2:05pm. We were buying something at the little marketplace (close to bus area) but the vendor ran out of small euros so it took a little longer than we hoped to get our change back. We made it to the meeting spot by 1:58pm but saw no one. Luckily Francesco happened to get off our bus to check something so we saw him. He was shocked when he saw us. He said “I already counted 50 people!” which he clearly did not because 2 of us were not on the bus. He also interacted with the 2 of us several times during the trip so should have realized we were not on the bus (we were the only 2 South Asians on the bus). We should have realized he was not a good guide from the get go. At the 9am check in, he just stood there blending in with all the tourists so no one really knew who to check in with. He was not wearing anything that would even identify him. Also when we got to the monastery, we had less than 10 min to look inside and take pictures because they were starting mass. He knew the timing because after we got off the bus and he told us we should use the bathrooms in that area, we walked up to the monastery and he said “We’ll look around outside later, they will close soon so go inside quickly,” We had to rush inside and take a few quick pictures. Very annoying. If you take this trip, hopefully you get a better guide who uses a passenger check list and wears identifiable clothing (or uses an umbrella/stick with toy like other guides) so you can find them.

  This was a great tour with lots of free time. Buy tickets ahead of time to listen to the choir and visit the throne of our lady.

  The ride was good, but the bus was extremely uncomfortable. The guide Marc was good. There are things to do besides the basilica.

  Francesco was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about Montserrat history and things guests could do while there. He kept us on time and gave us accurate info.

  An informative guide who explains everything very well. Comfortable bus and good driver. Marc is a friendly guide, who gives enough, but not too much information.

• Montserrat, Monastery, and Marc = Marvelous

  If you want a terrific tour of the breath-taking Montserrat, look no further. Marc was an outstanding guide— wonderfully knowledgeable, clear and friendly. He explained many options to do during our free time at the monastery. We loved taking the funicular to the top. Glad we thought to take a time-lapse video of the ride — that will be a treasure. Make sure to stop by the white-tented market to sample the many cheeses, as well as the fig bread. We wished we had reserved a ticket for the boys’ choir— but they had sold out. In summary, A+ grade for the whole outing. Thank you, Marc!

• Knowledgeable guide and safe driver

  Marc did a good job making the experience memorable and explaining the various sites/sights along the way. The driver was also very safe. We recommend this company

  This is relaxed day out and the guide, Mark, is knowledgeable and entertaining - very worthwhile. Remember this is a coach trip not a private tour.
