What To Expect
Montana de Montserrat
The Rocky Massif of Montserrat has been declared as Natural Park in 1987, and characterised by the rounded shape of its peaks. This incredible 4000-foot wonder is easily recognizable by its ''serrated'' top from which it got his name. Once you reach the monastery, you have plenty of options and your guide will always adjust to your interests. We invite you to take an easy walk of around 30 min to enjoy one of the most astonishing views of the natural park, but if you wish you can also decide to enjoy other activities that the mountain offers.
Abadia De Montserrat
Montserrat Basilica, located in the stunning Montserrat mountain range in Catalonia, Spain, is a revered site of pilgrimage and natural beauty.

5.00Had a great time with our tour guide, Javi. He was very easy to talk with and he gave us great recommendations on places to eat and see while we are here. The time to see Montserrat was just about right with enough time to see everything and not too long.
Alejandro is the best Catalan

5.00Alejandro was an outstanding guide for our private group of 8. He was personable, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and informative. He even hiked with us to the cross, which really showed his dedication to making our visit special. Montserrat was a highlight of our trip, and Alejandro played a big part in that. Highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the best tour guides we have ever had!

5.00Alejandro was an absolutely fantastic tour guide and made our visit to Montserrat truly unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing interesting history, local culture, and insights throughout the entire tour in a way that kept everyone engaged. What impressed us most was how accommodating and thoughtful he was. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience, always willing to adjust and help wherever needed. We took the challenging walk to the cross, and Alejandro did an amazing job keeping the group motivated, encouraged, and safe the entire way. His positive attitude, patience, and attention to everyone’s needs made a difficult hike feel achievable and rewarding. Alejandro’s passion for what he does really shines through, and it made all the difference in our experience. We are so grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Montserrat. Thank you, Alejandro, for an incredible day!
Knowledgeable tour guide!

Beautiful Montserrat

5.00Montserrat is beautiful as is the basilica of the Benedictine monastery. The funicular took us into clouds above the village. Javi was friendly and instructive.
Not the best value for the money

3.00I don't feel like we got a good value for what we paid. Marcel was nice and friendly and attentive, but his English is not the best and he spoke way too fast. It was hard to understand him sometimes. Also, even though we stayed for mass, we still returned to our hotel an hour before we expected to. Also, after he dropped us off, he rushed away. It seemed like maybe he had another tour booked for the afternoon that he needed to get to
Great experience!
