Wonderful day in Monserrat! - Our family had a wonderful time in Barcelona and during our half day tour of Monserrat. James was EXCELLENT! He picked us up at our hotel, stopped at a few places along the way so that we could take photos and told us a little history about the areas. In Monserrat, James explained to us where to go, made sure we had tickets to see the Black Madonna and helped us have an idea of how much time we needed. When we were ready to head back to Barcelona he had cold waters for us and even dropped us off at a McDonald's in the city (our teenagers' request) so they could check out the menu! He followed up with a text later that afternoon to make sure we were doing well and made it back to the hotel. We highly recommend James and are so thankful to him for helping us make some wonderful memories during the few days we spent in Spain!

Great experience! - We had a great experience! Driver was knowledgeable, kind and flexible. We had a limited amount of time to fit this in. Visiting the Monastery was well worth the time. We would hire him again should the opportunity arise.

A Great Day! - We booked a private tour and James made our first day in Barcelona easy and comfortable. From airport pickup through an extended tour and drop off at our hotel, he was a great guide: friendly, knowledgeable and flexible in accommodating our preferred stops. It was a great day!

Great experience to Monserrat! - James was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He also booked us tickets to see Madonna for our visit. You can extend your hours for a fee which is very reasonable in value. Overall experience was worth it!

Great experience – amazing sights, fantastic tour guide - This trip was wonderful! The driver (James) was a very knowledgeable, professional, and personable guide. He organized all the logistics with us in advance, was very flexible and helpful with tailoring the activities and timing to our interests, and took us to a number of unique sites along the way to and from Monserrat.
