Great Day at Montserrat - It was easy to find the pick up point with clear instructions. Bus ride out to Monserrat was comfortable with the guide giving some info at start then leaving us to watch scenery. She was well organised, clam and was able to keep us all together even though was a large group of 47. She gave us clear instruction thru our ear phones about what was going to happen and met up times. We did cog train ride and black Madonna viewing in two different times with free time between so you could either walk, take further transport to various points or just relax. Back in Barcelona by 5pm and had left at 1 0.15am We were also given some restaurant recommendations.

Informative - Very informative. First guided tour. Advantages, history given by great tour guide. Disadvantages, Definitely could've spent more time looking around. Would NOT recommend the liquor tasting. Uninformative girl serving, extremely board with what she was doing and came across that we were nothing but a bother.
