Amazing tour - We had our tour with Amelia, she was amazing in telling us everything about the history of the mountains, how they were formed, the mossarate (wrong spelling, sorry), we had a lot of fun. If you choose the full hiking experience, I advice you to take hiking shoes, please don't use normal sport shoes since the way down can be very treacherous. They do advice you this when you book your trip!!

Fantastic experience with incredible scenery!! - I highly recommend this experience! We were fetched on time at a conveniently located pick up point in Barcelona and driven in a modern vehicle to Montserrrat (60 minute drive). Our incredible guide (Christian - I think that was his name) explained the background of the area and monastery to us. We were taken inside the monastery and after that we did the 5km hike. Our guide shared with us lots of interesting information as we went along. The views were amazing and we saw some mountain goats.

Beautiful hike, great guide - A little strenuous at times for our 65+ YO group but worth a few sore muscles. The perfect antidote to busy Barcelona.

Monserrat monastery & hike - Excellent day at Montaseratt - short but informative tour of the monastery and then a very enjoyable hike. Moderately difficult but an informative information on the origins of the monastery and the unique ecosystem that exists in the adjacent mountain area. Bernard was very attentive and helpful!

Excellent trip to a beautiful area - Really lovely half day tour to a stunning area. Hike was thoroughly enjoyable and manageable for all fitness levels. The guide (Amalia) was an expert on the rock formations and plants . Highly recommend.

Barnat was a great guide!... - Barnat was a great guide! We had a wonderful day. He was very knowledgeable about the mountains. My only suggestion would be to add a better description of the hike. We had some folks in our group that were pretty slow, so we were late getting back. But other than that, had an absolutely fantastic time!

Beautiful hike, awesome guide! - We had an AMAZING time! Our tour guide was Bernat and he was so fun and down to earth. He was so good with my son who had a million questions and stories to tell. Learning the history of the monastery and black Madonna was so cool. The hike through the mountains was beautiful and breathtaking especially when the church bells were ringing. It was great exercise but there were also plenty of stops to look at scenery. Definitely recommend this hike only if you are physically fit and aren’t too afraid of heights.

Great way to visit Montserrat - This was the perfect tour for us. We got a little culture from our quick visit to the monastery but spent the majority of our time hiking the surrounding area. The hike was challenging (we are in our late 60's) but our tour guide made sure we had enough breaks for photos and commentary so we didn't feel rushed.

A grand day out! - I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves nature and fancies a hike. Ramon (our guide) was most excellent!! He told us a lot about the history, the culture, the plant life, and the geology of the area. I got some great photos both inside the monestary and all around the area.. Yes, wear proper footwear. No, you won’t have time to be able to see the Black Madonna up close (but from afar was just fine with me) but there was plenty of time to explore the rest of the church. Be prepared for a couple of scrambles and 2,000 steps back down (thank heavens we had Ramon because I saw people going the other way where they were taking the steps UP and they did not look happy :)). Totally worth every minute!
