5.00Montserrat is fabulous. BUT, the line for the Black Madonna can take up most of your tour time. Maximize what you want to see.

1.00A waste of time and money. Trying to find the meeting place was a joke by us and others. The tour guide really had nothing to offer and most of his talk was in Spanish. We would urge u to find a different meeting place. We are not sure based on today’s fiasco whether we’ll ever book another tour with Viator
Bella Montserrat.

1.00The time was very limited. We were not able to do anything else. We were told that we will have ample of time on our own, but we were only given 15 mins that too we had to walk to the bus. We barely had time to buy some cheese cake and run to the bus. We wanted to take cable car and go on top Of the hill but we couldn’t. We had tickets to try liquor but we didn’t have time to Try that either.
