5.00This day trip to Montserrat was a highlight of our time in Barcelona! It is so nice to have someone drive you straight to the location and give you so much interesting history about not only montserat but the people of Catalan . Our tour guide, james, was splendid in every way. Doing this in January was perfect. We did the early tour and basically had all the locations to ourself. It of course was cool but we dressed for it and I wouldn't do it any other way.
Monserrat perfect day!

5.00Wonderful experience! Absolutely the best way to experience Montserrat. Our guide was very kind, positive, and intelligent and everyone in our group loved the experience. Perfect amount of time for the monastery, the hike, and other things, and so much easier than figuring out all of the details ourselves.

5.00I really enjoyd the trip. Everything was smooth and well organized. Our tour guide James introduced us to the monastery, the local culture, nature and the surroundings. He was very warm and kind. The small 8-person group was a real advantage. The hike was downhill and offered great views throughout the entire journey.
Wonderful tour!

5.00The hike down was a little steep but I’m an active 70 year old and managed it well. Our guide, James, did a great job! It was obvious that Montserrat was a meaningful place to him. He told so much about its history and on the hike was careful to point out naturally growing herbs and other plants. We saw a couple of mountain goats at a distance as well.
Lovely day

5.00This was very enjoyable. The day started a little damp and misty when we started our walk down the mountain. The visitor to the basilica and listening to the choir in the cloister was very moving. James was a great guide and explained times of when and where to meet. It was an outstanding tour and to top it off it cleared enough for a photo of the monastery from our walk.
Great tour!!

5.00We toured Montserrat with Allen last week and what a wealth of knowledge. We learned all about the Monastery and then the topography of the area along with the wildlife. It was an enjoyable and informative day.
