Private Montserrat afternoon tour - Taking the afternoon tour was great. Got picked up at 12:00 and missed the crowds. Driver was Pau, very informative and friendly. Traveled with my spouse which should be an option when looking for feedback.

Tour Guide Pau Exceeded our Expectations - We are retired seniors on a one month road trip through southern Europe. We have booked 13 tours through Viator in 10 different cities. This was tour #6. We chose the train option from Barcelona to Montserrat, followed by the cable car to the top. We walked through the market, toured the monastery, saw the Madonna, and walked to the cross at a beautiful observation point. We enjoyed Monserrat but what set this tour apart from the previous 5 tours we took through Viator was our guide, Pau. Pau was very observant and accommodating of our physical and dietary limitations and made sure everything was perfect. He stayed with us throughout the day rather than dropping us off and meeting us later. He was professional and courteous not only to us, but also to other visitors he did not know. His hospitality exceeded our expectations and was far beyond the other tour experiences we had.

Wonderful visit to Montserrat - Monserrat is a beauty to be visited. Via suburban train is easily reached, although it is far from Barcelona, but from afar you can see the incredible work done on a mountain. The visit unmatched thanks to Pau. I don’t think there’s any other way or other Guide that comes to all the knowledge that Pau conveyed to us on this journey. From departure and on the train he communicated quite a few details with his joyful style of leading the tour. In Monserrat he was diverted by passing us information of the monastery and other points to know. Totally pleasant visit to Monserrat.

A great day in Montserrat! - What a great day. Pau was such a nice guy. Interesting and fun to be with. He was so accommodating and made sure we got to see everthing in Montserrat. He even got us the extra tickets for the boys choice. We had amazing weather and it was a perfect day.

A private tour experience for all - Our guide, Mr. Pau is very friendly, professional and attentive! He is very knowledgeable and attention to details. He personalised this tour for my husband and I. We had a lot of great fun and laughters together. We’ll like to recommend this relaxing day trip to anyone who is looking for a private and intimate sightseeing experience.

Great day at Montserrat. - Montserrat is a must see. The Black Madonna is ethereal and the church she rests in is one of the most beautiful works of art. Our tour made it easy to visit with a private car and informed guide. Andy’s enthusiasm for the culture his adopted country was infectious - request him if you can, a bonus for the journey.

Absolutely the best way to see Montserrat! - A private tour was the best way to see Montserrat. We were picked up right at our hotel, and our guide Pau was possibly the most interesting person we have ever met! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the monastery, knew the best order to view all of the different attractions and even where to buy the best cheeses from the local market vendors outside of the monastery. A lot of walking and it does get quite hot as the day goes on, so I would recommend the 9 am time slot. We took a hike up to the black cross, came down and rested and had lunch, then toured the monastery and saw the Black Madonna. I’d also recommend the cable car to the top vs the cog wheel train. We loved every minute of our tour and had an amazing guide, Pau! Wish we’d taken a picture together! Well done, Pau!

A must tour with Pau. - Monserrat was geologically spiritual and good for the spiritual soul. This was due to our tour guide Pau who was such a joy, he was wonderfully knowledgeable and genuinely one of the kindest people my husband and I have ever met.
