5.00This was a great activity but be prepared for lots of steps and a very steep hike down. Bring water, wear a hat and sunblock. The Monastery and Black Madonna were also worthwhile. The views are beautifully stunning,
This was an amazing...

5.00This was an amazing experience and well worth the time and money! Our guide Anthony was a perfect fit! Would definitely do again but needed more time at the location to fit in all we wanted to do!
Beware of the tour to see The Black Madonna if it includes the Nature walk, you can be deceived.

3.00The experience was good but missed the most important part of the tour to see The Black Madonna, the same day they said we can't do it because it was open to the public but we were not provided with the tickets to do it individually. If it includes the Nature walk in the experience it is misleading the religious aspect isn't important to the. It was for me as well as 4 other people in the tour. We went mainly to see the Image.
Such a fun activity!...

5.00Such a fun activity! Traveled with my sisters and mom for the Montserrat visit and hike. The tour was well organized and we traveled on a nice bus from Barcelona to Montserrat. Our guide Jimena was knowledgeable about the monestary, friendly, and accommodating for the hike. The hike is downhill but there are some areas of uphill and it is a relatively steep decline. Following the hike we had about an hour to explore the area more and grab lunch. Our group was a good size and not too overwhelming. At the end Jimena gave us a small gift which was super nice. I would definitely recommend this tour
Jamena made great efforts...

5.00Jamena made great efforts to ensure we have ample time for each activity. She’s a great guide! The only thing is we have the bus shared with another group and we have to pick them up at their lunch spot and that added an extra 30 min after our tour.
