Very wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Marc, was highly knowledgeable and overall a fun guide! He gave a very detailed explanation of Montserrat history and Catalan Culture in general. I learned many new things on this trip! The coach bus ride to Montserrat was great, we were lucky there was no traffic and the seats were comfy. The view of Montserrat is jaw dropping! Do be prepared to go for a little hike to get the best views by Creu de Sant Miquel, if you’re afraid of heights, good luck! This experience was unforgettable, I highly recommend booking!

The weather was very good and the trip went smoothly. The tour guide was Mark, who introduced the history of the monastery very seriously on the bus. When we arrived at the destination, he explained the environment here while walking. In addition to the monastery and art gallery, there are also magnificent mountains and boulders, and the natural scenery is even more attractive. On the recommendation of the tour guide, we walked to the Cross of San Miguel, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked out at the monastery opposite and the vast and magnificent mountain scenery around. It was great! It was Friday that day, and many primary and secondary school students came here for off-campus teaching and hiking. Obviously, this is a popular hiking and outing spot for local residents. (It takes less than an hour to go back and forth) The tour guide said that you can also take a cable car to another attraction "Sant Joan". This side is higher and the view is wider!

Great tour and very convenient, especially for solo travelers or groups. It saves you the hassle of planning transportation and the price is worth it. Montserrat was beautiful and the views were amazing.
Just a small note: the tour includes wine tasting, but during our visit we only passed by and didn’t get to experience the tasting. Overall, still a wonderful and memorable trip.

It was a wonderful half day trip. The tour operator was communicative, and the guide/driver Gaspar, reached out in advance to coordinate the pick up time. Tour group was a small cosy size, travelling quite comfortably in a MPV. Gaspar was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared fascinating insights about Spain’s history and Montserrat throughout the journey. He took us on a scenic route to showcase the different sides of Montserrat and explained its unique geological formations. Gaspar also guided us through the Basilica, home to the Black Madonna. Frm there, we had some free and easy time to explore the area. Overall, tour was well paced and organised, and Gaspar always provided clear instructions and was always punctual. It was a memorable and enjoyable trip.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Montserrat Monastery Classic Tour. The tour was perfectly paced, giving us the chance to soak up the breathtaking scenery, explore the monastery, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Montserrat at our own pace.
What truly made this tour stand out was our guide, Eduardo. From start to finish, his knowledge and humor made every moment engaging and fun. He wove fascinating stories about the history and significance of Montserrat into the tour while keeping the group laughing and smiling along the way.
Eduardo’s ability to balance information with entertainment was exceptional. We learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed, and the group atmosphere was joyous thanks to him. His insights brought the place to life, and his warm personality made everyone feel welcome and included.
Overall, the tour was fun, enriching, and seamless, from the beautiful views and well-organized itinerary to the expert guidance we received throughout.

A breathtaking experience! Lorena did a great job not only taking us through Montserrat, but also allowing us to experience the Spain she loves so much. I know it’s probably in the description already, but please bring good walking shoes. There’s time to trek to St. Michel’s cross during free time, and you have the option of walking up there but that climb is steep. You can try for the cable car up there, but that’s an additional separate cost & I thought the physically journey up there was more meaningful in my opinion.
