Beautiful place - The view at the top of the mountain is beautiful. The church is beautiful, it’s like a small city at the to of the hill. Beautiful place

Absolutely unreal, highly recommend! - This is so worth the money. The views at Montserrat are absolutely beautiful and you get around 3 hours of free time to do what you like whilst you’re there! Ewan was our tour guide to Montserrat, he was fantastic and gave us roughly a 45 minute tour around the town before we got time to do our own thing. Genuinely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen, was so glad I went! I did this on my own and was perfectly fine - there are lots of different trails you can hike up to get even more insane views! I took the 20(ish) minute hike up to St Miquel’s cross - was so worth it. Absolutely loved this, would recommend it to everyone!

Hassle free Montserrat - The comprehensive information provided by the guide Francisco and the safe bus trip. We had a fantastic day. We were going to catch the train but we would have reached a destination with no idea how to maximize our time. Francisco gave us all the information we needed to know where to go. We had already booked tickets to the basilica, the black Madonna and the boy’s choir so we still had time for a funicular ride to the peak for some photos, ride back and a visit to the info center and the shop and markets before catching our bus back at 3pm.

I Recommend! - I recently took a day trip to Montserrat and had a fantastic experience. Our guide, Marc, was excellent—knowledgeable and engaging, he made the history and culture of the area come alive. The trip itself was well-organized and convenient, making it easy to explore this stunning location. Plus, the pricing was very reasonable for everything included. Overall, I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to experience Montserrat!

Terrifying bus ride - The bus ride was terrifying. It was raining hard. The front window was fogged up for the hour drive and the driver kept wiping the condensation off the window every minute or two. He could barely see out the window and we were traveling at a high speed on the highway and up the mountain. I cannot believe they put us on a bus without a working defroster - that put a lot of people at risk. Meanwhile the guide was talking and the speaker was really loud. A couple people asked him to turn down the volume and he said he couldn't. It was a horrible ride. While I give the driver credit for eventually getting us there safely, I was truly afraid we were going to crash.
