The funicular was sooo... - The funicular was sooo fun! Only a 6 min ride but VERY steep and mind-boggling! Our guides, Jesus and Jordi, were kind, good drivers, and full of information. We truly enjoyed hanging out with them for the day. Highly recommend this tour to get a taste of Monserrat. You can't see it all in 6 hours, but you'll see a lot and have a good visit.

Magical Monserrat, passionate guide - Our guide for this trip was Frank. A 50 ish minute drive out of Barcelona to Monserrat. Arriving the clouds covered the valley which was awesome to see, a pure memory moment. Breath taking. Franks knowledge, passion was simply brilliant. He captivated the tour group with historical stories. We would never have got this level of detail from walking around ourselves. He kept saying, come this way you’ll get a better view, go there you’ll see this. Always on hand to answer questions and talk. A great guide, who clearly knew what he was talking about. Monserrat is a gorgeous monastery, filled with history and stunning buildings and scenery. I’m so glad we booked this tour. Frank was fabulous.

Great tour with a great guide - We went with Uni on a nice, sunny day in October. The drive was fairly short and he drove us around the mount so we could see it from all sides. He told us just the right amount of information at the stops at the monastery and long the walk. The walk was mostly along a wide path but we diverted to a hiking trail which was a bit slippery in a couple spots. Overall a great tour with a great guide. Thanks Uni! The only improvement I could think of is to make it clear we are meeting on the sidewalk in front of the address provided.

Spain 2025 - The drive went smoothly. Mother nature decided not to wake up and kept her sleepy eyelids closed =!-lots of fog. & unable to see mountain views. Due to prior rain some rocks falling, funicular was non operable. The sun did come out towards the end of our hike. The monastery & surroundings are beautiful. It was a good day nonetheless.

Phenomenal - Phenomenal! Our guide was knowledgeable and reassuring when weather looked bad that the sun will come out. The funicular wasn’t working so we walked up to the cross and it was invigorating. I’m 72 yo fairly fit female and made it!

Add this to your list - I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Our guide Geordie was absolutely fabulous! If you are in decent shape, don’t be afraid to do the full walk. I am 73 and had no problems.

The highlight of our trip - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona! It was well organized from start to finish and the tour guide Jordie provided background information along each step of the tour. It was wonderful to see the beauty of the mountain but also to get an understanding of the monastery and its historical significance in the area. Highly recommend!…do not miss this opportunity!

Wonderful tour it’s a bus too if you’re in Barcelona - our experience going to Montra was outstanding way better than we had hoped for. our driver and guide Frank was wonderful. he added lots of context to what we were seeing and is very knowledgeable and lots of fun. plan on spending at least two hours possibly three or four it’s really worth.
