Except maybe summer, take a jacket. Our guide,Javi, did a great job. Knowledgeable and friendly. Maybe the best tour guide we’ve ever had.

Jose was wonderful. He arrived early and he was full of information about Barcelona and the monastery. He even gave us recommendations for which honey and nuts to purchase from the vendors at Monserrat. The journey to the monastery takes you up high enough that your ears start to pop, but the experience is worth it.

Excellent day! Very informative guide Javi. We had plenty of time to explore and view the beautiful vistas. We did the hiking trail and the views were exceptional!

Excellent historical background presented on the discovery of the Madonna and the birth and development of Montserrat. I wish I had more time to explore all that it had to offer. Jose was an excellent guide and is highly recommended.

Overall it was an excellent tour. Guide Carmelo was good. There were about 40 people in the bus going to Monserrat. It was later split into 2 groups. When we signed up, we understand it will be a small group of maximum 8 people . Very worth while visit to Monserrat.

Stephanie was a wonderful knowledgable and caring guide to Montserrat. She made it fun and made us feel like family. Juan Carlo our driver was friendly, attentive and a careful driver. All in all a superb experience!!
