Mini City break - Take the tour! Our guide, Francisco, was wonderful. Gave us history during our 1hr bus ride to Montserrat. Briefings after arrival and had a good amount of free time to explore. It's a good break out of the City.

Our tour guide Francisco... - Our tour guide Francisco was very knowledgeable and had tons of informations to share. However, I wish that at the beginning of the tour, there was sort of reminders to all the guests about being mindful and considerate of their fellow travelers. Where we were seated, middle of the bus, there was a gentleman talking on his phone during most of the drive, and a couple, 2 seats behind us, playing music on their phone, and these were happening while commentary is in progress. I would have enjoyed Fransisco’s narrations if not for these. It was aggravating.

The time of the tour was incorrect. - The message from Viator was to meet at 10:00 AM. The meet up was actually at 9:00 AM. We almost missed the bus! It ended around 3:00 pm. The tour guide was very good. He did call us to say they were waiting for us. It was quite embarrassing. Normally Viator is very good with the tour time frame. As I said the tour guide was very good and very informative.
