Climb in Tuck Tuck to Monte then descend again. - Superb basket descent from Monte to the seafront.
A big thank you to Renato for his service , his kindness, his climb in Tuck Tuck until the start of the baskets.
He was waiting for us on arrival to film us. Then drove us to the market where he was dropping us off.
Strong advice.
As a couple in stopover with the Costa Fortunato.

A real experience such a private tuk tuk tour conducted by Ricky. - Highly recommended. Ricky is a cheerful guy who tells a lot about the city and its history. On the way to Montse, at the very top of the mountain, you can enjoy the beautiful views along the way. There will also be a pit stop in between to enjoy this quietly. Eventually we slid from top to bottom in the familiar baskets. Hilarious thing to do. We were lucky with a wait of 20 minutes, can sometimes be up to 3 hours Ricky told us. Downstairs Ricky was waiting for us to film us and then continue on the road in his tuk tuk.
We had a great time.

It’s great fun but be... - It’s great fun but be prepared for delays at Monte for the start of the basket ride- especially if there are cruise ships in. That caused a delay to our start but Alexis kept us regularly updated. We then had a great time. Our driver Ricky was very knowledgeable, spoke perfect English and couldn’t have been more helpful.
