Best tour guide service for Montserrat - This tour company is absolutely top notch for professionalism and experience! David, our guide, was so knowledgeable and hospitable for not only Montserrat but of Catalonia and the region in general! The trip details were thorough and complete. Pick up and drop off were easy and well understood. We had the opportunity to witness other tour operators during our visit and we are so glad we chose this company. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend this tour company!

Perfect from beginning to end with James. Truly a highlight of Barcelona. - The day was perfect from beginning to end. James was the ultimate guide and host, so thoughtful, so kind, so informative and so open to sharing his insights. He checked with everyone to be sure it was okay to extend the day and thus gave us all time to eat, shop or wander. He took particular care to ensure we knew where to take the best pictures for the best views.

Would highly recommend. Gorgeous place outside the busy city. - Our tour guide was the nicest. He was filled with information not only about the church but even the flora and fauna along the hike and the surrounding area. Truly a great day and tour.

Monserrat Visit - A really good tour, our guide Jaume was informative and helpful, he drove well and took us on an excellent hike down the mountain after the spectacular funicular trip. The monastery is an interesting place to visit with wonderful views. The cafes nearby are good, and altogether a very good experience.

Excellent - David was a superb guide. His passion and knowledge for his home area, plants, history, geology etc made this experience one of our greatest days in Barcelona. It was a nice contrast from city life to see the nature and beauty and views. The intimacy of the tour being a small group makes it feel like being shown around by a friend! Thankyou david from my family. Highly recommend this tour!

Best part of our trip! - So when I booked this tour for my boss and I, I had high hopes. Read several comments about different guides, which were all great, but David's name stood out to me. So upon arrival, there were two guys and the each read off our names. Somehow, we ended up with David and man oh man...the reviews were spot on. He is terrific. I'm sure the other guy was too! But I loved the small van with a small group! As we drove up to Montserrat, David explained so many different things and pointed out different parts of the area. An hour long drive went extremely quick! Once we arrived to Montserrat, he showed us different points to eat and explore. He took us through all the different areas. He was extremely patient with our group when someone wandered or needed extra potty breaks. There were ZERO complaints. He was impressive! The hike down is about an hour. I don't love the heat so I was warm and it was only like 67degrees. I wish I would have known is was pretty steep and downhill, I probably would have brought my hiking stick as it would have braced the downhill part. But overall, I would do this again! And, I think if you can't do the hike down, you can take the fenicular down again. Not positive. But don't miss out. This is well worth it!
