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.

The tour was outstanding. Alejandro is knowledgeable, kind and very professional. There was no question he couldn't answer and he kept encouraging us to observe, question and see more. We would absolutely recommend here for any tour in the area. He lives and breathes Catalan culture.

Booking the tour online was simple. Excellent communication from the company and from the guide. Our guide Alejandro was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and courteous. We were able to customize our tour in Montserrat since we were a private group. Alejandro made sure that our preferences were taken into account for planning our day. Our expectations were exceeded! We enjoyed our day very much! We highly recommend this tour and Alejandro as a guide.

Marcel was a fantastic guide. Very good knowledge and well spoken English for those of us who don’t speak Spanish/Catalan. His knowledge of Mont Serrat and Barcelona was extremely informative. This is the second time I’ve done this tour with this company, and would do it again with this company if I do the tour again.
Wonderful tour and guide!

Did this trip with guide Laura and driver Roberto. Prompt pickup at our hotel . On the way to Montserrat, Laura told us about the areas of Barcelona we were driving thru. At the site, she knew how to avoid the long lines and maximize our time. Gave us good guidance for our free time. Vowledable Driver Roberto and guide Laura picked us up promptly at 8:30. On our way to Montserrat she gave us information about the areas we were driving thru. Once at Montserrat she knew how to maximize our time. She had all tickets pre Prepurchasd. During free time she gave us multiple choice. V Overall a Overall a wonderful experience.
