5.00Ramón was exceptional. He arrived on schedule and was very personable throughout the trip. This was our first trip to Spain, so he provided background information on the country, city and our destination. His expertise was most prominent during our time at the Monastery, explaining the meaning behind several objects and customs. He shared personal experiences which added to the depth of our understanding. It was a spectacular day for us all.

5.00For us the half day was enough, but there are a few different things to do at the top, so if you want more time plan accordingly. We had a great time exploring up top the kids saw three huge mountain goats face to face. Alba was awesome she was punctual and so sweet. We enjoyed making a new friend!

5.00Montserrat was amazing experience on many levels. It is a beautiful place so close to Barcelona. Seeing the cathedral was amazing. We got to see the black Madonna. Our quide Isabel made the tour exceptionally interesting. She has such knowledge of the history of the whole region. The videos of the boys choir were so good. We just wanted to watch them for hours. The video of a day in the life of a monk was very interesting. The tour was so well put together. We were picked up at our hotel which was so hassle free. That was main reason I picked this tour. Worth the extra expense to be picked up and dropped off where I wanted.
Jose was Great!

5.00Our guide Jose was fantastic. He was unbelievably knowledgeable and did a great job tailoring the tour to what we were interested in. I would highly recommend him and we wish only that we had taken a full day tour (likely to include a vineyard) rather than just a half day.
