Lorena was an amazing tour guide. She gave us great history, her English was easy to understand, she was patient with the group. Her instructions were clear. We enjoyed her. The Montesserat itself was beautiful and full of awe.

Well planned itinerary with just enough time to visit, very knowledgeable guide and reasonable pricing.

The cogwheel train was a fun way to travel up to the Basilica. The timing of the visit could have been timed a little differently, as we went to see the Black Madonna first, then the little chapel, which made us too late to go into the Basilica because of the mass starting. .

This tour was absolutely a highlight of our trip to Spain! The scenery was beautiful, the monastery was inspiring, and our tour guide, Lorena was simply the best. Thanks so much for a wonderful day.

Sandra was our tour guide and she was fabulous. She was well spoken in English and provided lots of information and insight into the various aspects of the monastery and Barcelona and the surrounding areas. Sandra was personable and fun and a great guide to an area that we had never been to before. The driver was also very good, personable and on time. Sorry but did not record his name….

Beautiful,this was an amazing experience. The history and views were breath taken. You get a train up into the mountains and have time explore. They have a museum with various artwork. Overall worth a visit. But it does get busy and hot do recommend the morning trip.
