Traveler reviews
Afternoon Montserrat
Javi was professional when he picked us up. Apologized for being late as the group he picked up before us was late. He did a good job explaining the tour and taking us through the basilica. Also gave us suggestions on what to do when we had some time alone to walk around.
Great Tour of Montserrat Monestary
Mateus was an excellent tour guide. He was very thorough and told us what to expect every step of the way. Our group was small, but made up of seniors. Mateus was very conscious of our safety and made sure we were careful walking up and down stairs, across streets, getting in and out of the van, etc. He gave us a few inside tips while we were at Montserrat that were quite helpful. He had a cheerful personality and taking this tour with him as our guide was most enjoyable.
Beautiful Montserrat
Vincent met us at our hotel promptly and escorted us to a nice van. We had three other people on our tour. He made us at ease by making conversations with all of us. He was extremely friendly and very informative during our whole tour. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting Monserrat. We loved that we did have some time to ourselves like eating lunch and shopping. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great tour and guide
It was a beautiful place and we had a great guide! Javi made it interesting and clearly knew his history.
Incredible experience - worth doing!
Really enjoyed the trip to Montserrat. The experience was well organised, the views were beautiful, and it was a great way to spend the morning. The overall trip was smooth and enjoyable, and Alejandro was helpful and friendly. My only suggestion would be to allow a little more time at Montserrat itself. I would have loved to take the train or cable car further up the mountain and explore a bit more. Overall, though, it was a lovely experience and definitely worth doing.
