It was a memorable and beautiful experience seeing the black Madonna , mama Mary again. This time we learned more about the history and legend about the black Madonna and the Monserrat history . Our guide is a fabulous and very helpful and so knowledgeable about the place where we visited. Funny guy too and we enjoyed his company. That’s the guy who help us understand the history of Monserrat. Javi, the funny guy.

This was a half day trip to Montserrat. It's offered with a morning or afternoon pickup. Ramon made all the difference of making it a wonderful experience. He was engaged throughout and shared some good information. His flexibility in terms of timing was appreciated as well. Make sure to bring a jacket - particularly in the winter - as it can be chilly in the area.

We enjoyed our trip to Montserrat with Mateus. He picked us up at our hotel and drove us about one hour up to the monastery. He gave us a great tour with plenty of information. He then let us tour the church and grounds on our own. We especially enjoyed the art museum. It has some spectular paintings. It was a small group with just eight of us in a van.

This is one of the best tours we've done. Ramon was the best guide- friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Barcelona.

Our Monserrat Monastery tour with Matt was the absolute best! He was prompt, his communication with us before, during and after was above and beyond. Matt was fluent in at least 4 languages that we are aware of, and that in itself is AMAZING. He was very knowledgeable in the history, answered all of our questions accurately, and yu could just feel his love for Spain. We highly recommend this tour with this company, you won't be disappointed. When we return, we will be looking to this tour company for many more excursions Thank you, aviator, and especially Matt, you provided us with an unforgettable memory. Sincerely, Steve and Gale

Went yesterday on a great weather day. Matteo was a fantastic driver and so knowledgeable. Our vehicle was very clean and comfortable. Had just a terrific day overall. Matteo was a joy to spend time with, and told us so much more about the area than the tour involved. Hard to imagine how the tour could've been any better. Would recommend this tour and tour operator to anyone.
