Great tour hosted by great guides. A big shout out to both Francesco (and his singing talents) and Hugo. Great team full of interesting historical facts of both Barcelona and Montserrat. Keep up the great work

It was great!!! Group was split between two tour guides to keep it smaller and more personal. Bus ride was air conditioned and clean. Monserrat tour was brief after touching the black Madonna, then we got to explore on our own. There was a little market set up with fresh honey and cheese, we went on a Sunday. Hiked up to the cross for incredible view. MK & Adrianna were great!!

Roberto was amazing on this trip. He’s a skilled and knowledgeable guide with jokes. For Montserrat this is the right group and event managers and definitely recommended.

Merak (MK) was a fantastic guide. Monserrat is beautiful place to visit and we all enjoyed his advice on how to navigate around and manage our time there.

A fantastic tour. The views were spectacular and the monastery was beautiful. We visited the museum as well which has an amazing and diverse collection of art including Caravaggio, Picasso and Renoir. The coach was comfortable and the tour guide (Marek) was excellent - knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Would definitely recommend this tour.
