Exceeded expectations - We were expecting a tour bus situation with a large group, instead we had a van that held a max of 8 guests and we only had 6. Our guide, James, was fantastic. We enjoyed learning about both the monastery and the surrounding parklands and had a nice hike down from the funicular drop off point.

Great daytrip to Montserrat - Tour organised an easy meeting point . Our guide Alan was friendly , fun and knowledgeable. The van was very good with working AC. Alan drove safely.
A 0800 start meant we arrived, to a fairly quiet Montserrat. Definitely a bonus.
Fun in the funicular up the very steep mountain . Followed by a very pleasant walk downhill , with spectacular views.
Followed by 45 mins to wander around or find a quick lunch , before heading back at 1pm .
A great day .

Five star experience- breathtaking views - James was a fabulous guide and had so many insights into the Catalan culture. The views alone are spectacular, but the additional knowledge he shared made it a five star experience. I would call the hike down moderate, not easy. We were fine. So fun!!

Great experience! - Such a great experience! The church is beautiful and we learned a lot from our guide. The hike was perfect, not too difficult. My only complaint is that we didn’t actually go on the cable cars… I thought that was a bit misleading. Instead you take a little lift up to the hiking spot.

Kiwis in Spain - David was an excellent host, he was super knowledgeable and we really enjoyed ourselves. The weather wasn’t amazing when we went but it was still such a cool experience. Reccomend to all for a pleasant trip out of the city!
