Monserrat is a must visit - Our family had a great time with James on this tour. He was a fantastic guide and driver. He is a local and shared a lot of fun information about the area in addition to Monserrat. Monserrat is a must visit with the black Madonna if you have time during your Spain vacation. James procured our tickets for the viewing in advance of our excursion with him saving us time and ensuring we did not miss this beautiful experience. Thanks James!

Montserrat with Jaime - We really enjoyed our time with Jaime and the trip up to Montserrat. He provided information as we drove through Barcelona up to Montserrat — current and historic information about the city and its people. (It was January so quite cold, and he even gave one of our girls his coat to use…he went above and beyond!). The area was beautiful and I understand why so many locals escape for the day to hike and enjoy the views. If you are going to Montserrat, I would highly suggest Jaime, and especially if you are in a group!

Wonderful visit to Monserrat, highly recommend! - We had a wonderful visit to Monserrat! James was on time, easy to communicate with before the tour, and very knowledgeable. He helped us plan our time there well and we felt like we got much more out of the experience than if we had just visited on our own. Highly recommend!

A worthwhile day trip! - James was great! We had a wonderful half-day tour to Monserrat. The car was spacious and comfortable; James had great tips for what we should do in Monserrat and even went ahead and secured us tickets to see the Black Madonna while we were there. I would highly recommend this as a day trip from Barcelona!

Excellent Monserrat Day Out - Lovely trip to Monserrat with James as driver. Relaxed, informative, fun. Our family of 5 (with 3 adult children) had a great day. We appreciate all the recommendations too that James gave us for our stay in Barcelona.

Beautiful and scenic site worth visiting - Easy ride from Barcelona. Car was spacious and comfortable. James explained everything about Montserrat and arranged for tickets for us to see the Madonna. The site is beautiful and definitely well worth the trip. Overall, it was a pricey experience to have a driver otherwise would have given it a 5.
