    I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Our guide Geordie was absolutely fabulous! If you are in decent shape, don’t be afraid to do the full walk. I am 73 and had no problems.

    Jordi was a great guide for the tour. We ran into a scheduling issue with a funeral at the Basilica, and horrible traffic leaving the city, but he effortlessly rearranged the order of the day to make it work perfectly. He was very knowledgeable and obviously very familiar with Montserrat. The location was stunning. Very highly recommend!
