A magical day in the mountains - Absolutely amazing experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many fascinating stories about Montserrat and its history. The views from the monastery were breathtaking, and we even got to hear the boys' choir, which was truly moving. The pace was perfect — not rushed, but we saw everything. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona!

Well-Planned, Beautiful, and Inspiring - One of the highlights of my trip to Spain! The drive from Barcelona was comfortable, and the scenery was stunning. Montserrat itself is awe-inspiring — the mountains, the monastery, the Black Madonna... all unforgettable. Our guide kept the group engaged and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.

this is a tour on a bus... - this is a tour on a bus with other people, which is fine. However, there wasn’t really a tour as much as it was just dropping you off at the top of the mountain and then telling you when to meet at the bus later. The tour guides used the Buss microphone to talk which was muffled and loud.Also, our bus had no air conditioning on the way back, so it was miserable.

Worst experience ever!! - The tour company changed the meeting place less then 24 hours before trip and never emailed us. Then blamed us for not getting there email and missing the trip. This was not how a company that works through trip advisor should handle themselves. They yelled at us when we called to ask where they were. It was horrible. If this is they type of company trip advisor works with then won’t be using trip advisor again.
