5.00This tour to Montserrat was outstanding. Our tour guide Marcelo was at our meeting point early, and was extremely friendly. He was able to point out a place to grab a quick coffee before we left. Through out our journey, Marcelo was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a historical tour of the Basílica and provided free time to explorer on our own. Marcelo is a good conversationalist, and spent time equally with all guests. He also bought us sweets during our trip. Upon our return to Barcelona, Marcelo recommended a local restaurant that specializes in local food. The entire day was outstanding, and Marcelo was the most professional and thoughtful guide.
Experience Monsterrat like a local

5.00We loved getting to ride the metro to Monsterrat, then riding the fonicular (cable car), and the cog train in our small group! To me this created a less touristy experience and let us see things along the way a bus rider would miss. We had 9 people in our group which made it easy for us to hear our guide, Monica. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and adept at cat herding as tourists tend to wander off unexpectedly. Highly recommend her for any tour she may be leading. The monastery is incredible and the views are spectacular even on cloudy days (like on our trip). Take a bag/pack with you because unless you just don't like cheese you'll be buying more than one from the local artisans selling it at the monastery. There's also local honey, nuts, liqueurs, and of course the gift shop. If you don't drink alcohol, then you get these little bags of cookies and sweet bread that are quite good. Lots to see and do here on the tour. We had a great time. PS- I took the included photos with my phone. The views really are that stunning.
