This is a highlight for us—well worth the money! - This tour was even better than expected. Such a beautiful place and a great experience! Our guide was awesome. He gave us great historical, geological, and religious context. He was warm and personable. Easy pick up and drop off experience with manageable pace. My partner and I had been horseback riding before but several folks on the tour had not. The women who guided the horseback ride gave a great demo before we started. The novice riders had a good time and handled it just fine. Would recommend!

We did an hour tour to Monserrat and an hour and a half horseback riding in Monserrat National Park - We did the horseback tour today with Frank and it was a great experience. A few things that might help future guests: • Be minimalistic—don’t bring anything extra. • The drive to Montserrat takes about an hour on winding roads (if you get dizzy, ask to sit in the front). • You’ll have about an hour at Montserrat. We didn’t see the Black Madonna, and there was only around 15 minutes for food/restroom before the horseback ride. • From Montserrat, it’s a 30-minute drive to the stables. They have restrooms there. Wear pants, no backpacks, and stay comfortable. • The horseback ride lasts about 1.5 hours. They’ll give you basic instructions, and the guides are very professional. Even though we were nervous first-timers, the horses are well-trained and follow each other, so it felt safe. • It’s an amazing experience, but you do need to be able to get on and manage a horse, so it may be challenging for the elderly. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a unique and safe adventure!

Fun time - This was a fun experience with a knowledgeable guide. We have been horseback riding before but we’re not seasoned riders and we had no issues. I would book with them again.

One of the most beautiful days!!! - It was a wonderful day! The riding tour was very relaxed - the horses totally calm! View in the national park incredibly beautiful. Afterwards the monastery tour : very impressive! Jesus, the guide, explained the great and small confluences of history - what is there today and used to be there - totally exciting! Enough time to make his rounds there alone - never stress!!! He took more time than we thought! Simply recommended!!!!

Beautiful relaxing ride with breathtaking views - This has been the absolute highlight of our trip. Perfect for my 16 year-old granddaughter, who had had her fill of walking and talking tours. A friendly group of four other travelers, some patient but well-cared for horses, beautiful scenery and a tour guide (Juan) who drove respectfully, provided us with a thorough background of the areas we visited, and kept us well informed of meeting spots. There was not time to do any hiking, but we had limited time after the tour of the basilica to shop the farmers markets. If you want to spend more than an hour and a half at the monastery ( glad we didn’t as it was swarmed with tourists) I’d suggest another tour. But if you want a beautiful escape from the city to view the mountain from both sides, I strongly recommend this!

Tour guide was great! Horses were amazing! - Our tour guide Frank was incredible! He was on time, accommodating, spoke great English and made sure that the group was always together before carrying on. He was fantastic!! The horses were AMAZING♥️ they were all super healthy looking, which I was worried about. The horses were so well behaved and sweet. They never went off track and were slow for people who don’t have experience! The background behind the monastery was beautiful! Everything was fantastic!! The hills through the monastery’s were also accessible!
