    Jordi was very knowledgeable and an experienced mountain guide. He shared not only information about Montserrat but also about the plants and animals in the environment. Excellent driver as well in the insane traffic.

    The trip was supposed to be the open air "cable ride" not the venicular ride with each of the 4 cars scrunched,crowded,can't see much passengers.I was under the impresssion we'd be starting the ride near the train station and going up-down the 6 minute ride with 6-8 people inside the 'cable' car,the kind the Swiss people take to get up some mountains,like the one near Lucerne.The views would have been so much better.We could of had time to 'hike' as advertised too.The guide was good but maybe it wasn't fault I guess.

    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!
