Boy’s Choir - Our guide, Jugo, met us at our hotel and we then took a metro and then a train to Monsterret. (Given our first time on those, it was nice to have a guide.). Jugó was very friendly and shared a lot of insight. One thing we didn’t know is that you need to purchase tickets for the boy‘a choir ahead of time as it is typically sold out. If that is something you’re interested, contact the tour company and let them know.

Fantastic Montserrat Excursion - We had a terrific day at Montserrat with our guide, Lenise. She navigated the Metro and Renfe for us so easily and got all the tickets we needed at Montserrat! We even got to hear the Boys Choir. Lenise was wonderful to talk to and so knowledgeable about the area and its history. Her enthusiasm about Montserrat was definitely contagious! Thank you.

A holy place - Great trip and well worth the time it took to get there from Barcelona. Our guide is as so friendly, kind and accommodating our every need. We felt like family when we left her. Our favorite thing was the boys choir in the basilicas, the museum. My only comment is that it needs to be one hour longer, felt rushed

Montserrat is amazing - but be sure to clarify the travel arrangements on any tour there - Montserrat is breathtakingly beautiful - both the mountains and the basilica - and should not be missed! Our guide, Valeria, was very friendly and helpful. HOWEVER, no matter what tour you choose to Montserrat, be sure you clarify the travel arrangements. Once you get to the town at the base of the mountain, you can take a train or a cable car to the top. It’s how you get to the town from Barcelona that isn’t clear in this listing, or some others. My husband has some health and mobility challenges so I purposely chose to pay extra for a private tour to avoid having him slow down a group tour and to make the travel to and from the town easier on him. I incorrectly assumed that private tour meant a private car to the town. It does not. The tour is entirely on public transportation. We took a commuter train to the town which was noisy (difficult to have a conversation) and not very friendly to the mobility challenged (stairs to get on & off). Yes, the listing says ‘by train’, but since I knew there was a train up the mountain, I thought that's what it was referring to. Don’t get me wrong - for most people the commuter train would be just fine. I write all of this just to caution people to be aware of what to expect. Our guide said we were not the only people who had expected a private car for this ‘private’ tour.

Guides can be better researched on traveller's interests - Needs to be less scripted, rehearsed and more well understood from the traveller's point of view too

Unprofessional Monserrat private tour - It a half day private tour. Tour guide told us to wait in cafeteria building at 12.15 . 5 other group member also there waiting. Arrive at the location around 11.45 and haven’t seen the tour guide at all. 12.15 we all went out in heavy rain not seing anyone of other group and guide. They left 6 of us and we been told that we should go back on our own risk. Bad experience. Don’t book with them in Barcelona. Hope on and off is ok but Montserrat tour guide is really bad . !!!!
