    Visiting the Monastery was very serene. The basilica was not illuminated so its colors were muted. Not to be missed is taking the cable car up to the top and walking down which takes about an hour or so - taking tome to enjoy the beautiful vieews. James o- our guide - was amazing. A proud CaCatalan!! e

    This was a fantastic trip. The guide was fantastic giving neat suggestions and a great balance of self exploration and guided points along the way. The farmers market was so much fun at the monastery. We also had a 10 yr old with us and he made it so much fun for her as well!

    Beautiful place, very nice views, quiet place with lots of history and mysticism. The unmissable church and the brunette virgin. Jaime, the guide, made the tour very bearable explaining each point of the tour. A place not to miss if you pass x barcelona. It takes you a morning and it's really worth it.

    I had Alan as my tour guide for this trip, he was great and made sure to include everyone. The tour breaks you up into groups of 8 so it’s never too busy. Hike had a very small amount of uphill and the rest downhill, very easy to do just in runners. Even managed to spot some mountain goats!

  • Wonderful trip!

  • A Short Scenic Excursion from the City

    We enjoyed the small group of six. Everything was on time with just enough breaks to relax. David, our guide, was personable and knowledgeable. If you are worried about the "easy hike" - don't be. The path down is almost completely paved and grippy. If your knees are in good shape, then the gradual downward walk is truly easy. Once the clouds cleared, the views were spectacular. Personally, I would pay a little more to be picked up and returned to our accommodation.
