The view on the top of Montserrat is spectacular, and the short hike is very enjoyable. We visited the cathedral and monestaries and learned about the history of Montserrat. Our tour guide Ferrand was professional and very knowledgeable.

Monserrat Monastery is a beautiful place tucked away on the mountainside outside of Barcelona. We were driven up the mountain by our guide, David. David was so knowledgeable about the countryside and the history of the Monastery from ancient times to the present day. The funicular ride up to the top of the mountain offered a breathtaking view of the countryside and the gentle walk back down was easy. I highly recommend this tour!

What an amazing day trip this was.
David our guide was wonderful, very informative and very caring.
We were picked up in a very nice mini van. David's knowledge of monserrat was extensive. Highly recommend this day trip included a cable car trip.

This was a fantastic day out - our tour guide James was very knowledgeable and made it such a great experience. I'm not a religious person but was in awe of the beauty within the monastery and its surroundings. We took the cable train up to top of the mountain and then hiked back down to the monastery level - the views were breathtaking. Really great day out

Pleasant drive out to Montserrat. David was a great guide, with helpful information but not talking all the time. Montserrat is an extraordinary place and well worth the visit. The trip included a funicular trip to San Joan and a walk down. The walk is not difficult but it's misleading to call it "easy" because it is quite steep in places, although well paved for the most part. Note queues at the restaurants are enormous and very slow. Best to go on a weekday because weekends are apparently packed.

Beautiful excursion with a lot to see. I wish I had brought binoculars though. I would not recommend this tour for those that are not in good physical shape, or use a walker or cane. Myself and another were the only two in the group physically able to do the hike. The ground can be steep in places with uneven surfaces. The views on the hike are spectacular! We were able to see climbers scalping the rocks, wildlife, and additional buildings.
It’s not a cable car ride on this excursion, but a funicular. For those unable to do the hike, which starts where you get off the funicular, you can ride it back down, but have to pay.
We had time to shop, and there were locals with a farmer’s type market selling nuts, cheeses, honey, arts and crafts.
It was a great day.

This tour company is absolutely top notch for professionalism and experience! David, our guide, was so knowledgeable and hospitable for not only Montserrat but of Catalonia and the region in general! The trip details were thorough and complete. Pick up and drop off were easy and well understood. We had the opportunity to witness other tour operators during our visit and we are so glad we chose this company. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend this tour company!

The day was perfect from beginning to end. James was the ultimate guide and host, so thoughtful, so kind, so informative and so open to sharing his insights. He checked with everyone to be sure it was okay to extend the day and thus gave us all time to eat, shop or wander. He took particular care to ensure we knew where to take the best pictures for the best views.

Our tour guide was the nicest. He was filled with information not only about the church but even the flora and fauna along the hike and the surrounding area. Truly a great day and tour.
