A great half day tour of Minsewat - Fantastic day tour we did the walk up from Montserrat as well as the monastery tour. The walk up the mountain was a little steep but well worth it for the views. A great day out.

I recommend - Guides Jordi and Frank were excellent. Frank led the “long hike” which is up and down, which my husband did. Jordi led the “short hike”which is train going up and walk going down. Just the right amount of talking. Guides brought water and hiking poles just in case, and sure enough, some did not bring enough water. Be sure to bring water and sunblock.
