Start of the Tour from your Hotel, the Port or the Barcelona Airport. The itinerary can change depending on the starting/ ending place and the preferences of the client.
Abadia De Montserrat
Montserrat is a rock mass considered traditionally as the most important mountain of Catalonia. It is located 30 km apart from the center of Barcelona, between the regions of Anoia, Baix Llobregat and Bages. In this mountain you will find the Santuario y Monasterio benedictino de Montserrat (a benedictine abbey), dedicated to the cult of the Madonna of Montserrat. The word "Mont" means "mount" and "Serrat" means "Sawed" in Catalan. The name "Montserrat" comes from its peculiar shape: it looks like someone tried to saw it with a giant saw.

Double Tour

5.00If you appreciate a guide and a driver you cannot do any better. We were led on a double tour; Montserrat and Barcelona at our pace. The guide was as they say today interactive! Carlos and Moyses! Learned about the city from its start with the Romans!
Excellent Tour of Montserat and Gaudi church grounds

5.00This tour was exactly what we were looking for. Driver Angel was very good on the windy roads to Monserrat and Cristina was an excellent guide with so much information about history and all the beautiful sites we went to. Cristina found the perfect Tappas with Payila that was delicious. It was a wonderful day!

2.00Carlos, the driver, seemed unmotivated and unprepared. He was asking us how to organize the tour in terms of which sites to see first, which seemed strange, considering it was our first time in Barcelona. He seemed more of a driver than a guide, which was disappointing. He miscalculated our pick up at Montserrat, which resulted in us having to wait for him for almost an hour, with my daughter suffering from serious Jetlag. He never informed us that access to any points of interest at Montserrat, like the Basilica, required purchasing tickets in advance for a particular timeslot, which also resulted in us having to wait over 45 minutes to get inside the basilica. I ended up having him drop us off at the our hotel and not doing any of the Barcelona sites. If I had wanted a cab driver, I would’ve arranged accordingly. This was the first time that I had this bad of an experience through Viator.

5.00Pedro our driver was very accommodating and allowed us to spend more time in Montserrat. We had already toured most of the city on previous day - this allowed us more time in Montserrat. Very interesting location and we were able to return to the city by an alternate route to view more of the area. Great Tour!

5.00We loved Pedro our driver. He was so knowledgeable and didn't have a time limit on most places we stopped. We stayed about 9 hours and saw everything. Loved Barcelona. Would recommend to anyone.

Great one day tour of Monserrat and Barcelona

5.00This is a perfect great tour of Barcelona and Monserrat if this is your first time visiting. Pedro did a great job of not only bringing us around to places that are popular with tourists but also to other historical places that are a must and not often visited. He speaks English very well. He took the time to give a brief history of all the areas we visited. Kudos to Pedro and his company.
Excellent tour of Barcelona

Fabulous Barcelona Experience with J&G Elegance Cars

5.00We had a two day layover before heading out on a cruise. Booked J&G not only for the 8 hour Barcelona tour but also for our airport transfers. What a wonderful group of people to work with - first with Reme on scheduling the services and then the actual tour with Pedro. He is very knowledgeable and we were able to make the most of the day visiting many places and having a great meal. If you are limited on time - J&G is definitely the way to go!! Muchas Gracias!!!
Enjoyable mountain and city tour in Barcelona.
