Pablo was a very articulate, energetic and knowledgeable tour guide. He was very structured in how he managed time and maintained interest across 4 diverse couples within the group. Will definitely look him up next time we are in Barcelona and need a tour guide.

Pablo was excellent.... I wish I could rate him with 10 stars!!!!! His knowledge was very impressive and we learned so much from him, and yet, he was very thoughtfull and caring.

We took the half day trip and visited the Monastery (the church is beautiful and you can see the Black Madonna from AFAR). This was followed by about 2 hours of free time - we took a hike and visited the market stalls and ate delicious cheese while we strolled. Easily could have spent more time and if you want to see the Black Madonna close up or take the funicular you would. Red more time to do so. Alex was a great guide, provided some history about what we were seeing and took car of all logistics. Communication about times, etc was great.

Alejandro is the absolute best Montserrat tour guide! He’s knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Our visit was incredible and the pick up/drop off was super convenient. Thank you for a great day!

Alejandro Figueroa was the best guide ever. He personalized our tour and brought us to beautiful view points. We left early at 8am and caught the beautiful morning view of magical clouds over the cascading mountain range. Small group of 8 in a nice comfortable van. Tour lasted about 5 hours which was just nice. The basilica was breath taking. Definitely worth the trip. Not too crowded as off peak in early Nov. Recommend the morning tour as less crowded.

Dulce our guide and Albert our Driver were fabulous. The tour was exactly what we had hoped for and it was very informative enriching. You can’t go wrong if you ask for them to be your Tour Guide on this particular tour.

Our Guide Isabel was fantastic. She gave us historical information about the area, as well as colorful legends and stories. She was accommodating to our group for different activities. I could spend days there hiking!
