Boy’s Choir - Our guide, Jugo, met us at our hotel and we then took a metro and then a train to Monsterret. (Given our first time on those, it was nice to have a guide.). Jugó was very friendly and shared a lot of insight. One thing we didn’t know is that you need to purchase tickets for the boy‘a choir ahead of time as it is typically sold out. If that is something you’re interested, contact the tour company and let them know.

Fantastic Montserrat Excursion - We had a terrific day at Montserrat with our guide, Lenise. She navigated the Metro and Renfe for us so easily and got all the tickets we needed at Montserrat! We even got to hear the Boys Choir. Lenise was wonderful to talk to and so knowledgeable about the area and its history. Her enthusiasm about Montserrat was definitely contagious! Thank you.

A holy place - Great trip and well worth the time it took to get there from Barcelona. Our guide is as so friendly, kind and accommodating our every need. We felt like family when we left her. Our favorite thing was the boys choir in the basilicas, the museum.
My only comment is that it needs to be one hour longer, felt rushed

The views, history, and... - The views, history, and Monastery!
It is a must when visiting Barcelona!!
Mary, our tour guide was very sweet, but I think after she completes her course in Tourism she will be more knowledgeable especially with the history and presentation.
Good luck Mary with your studies!!

Best Excursion - LINESE was amazing tour guide!!! She was extremely knowledgable and was with us a the whole time. This is a very different excursion as far as that you are not loaded up on a bus with others, you take the local expierence. The guide will fome to your hotel by foot and you will head to the destination. First you will take the local metro, then a train about an hour out of the city to the cable cae that will take you to the Montersery at the top of the mountain. Along the way we got to know our tour guide and met several local people. If you are like me then this is the best part of traveling, to see the local life and meet interesting people. We had an amaxing time and had the best tour guide!!!! HIGHLY RECCOMEND IF YOU WANT TO EXPIERENCE REAL PEOPLE AND LOCAL KNOWLEDGE!!!

Unprofessional Monserrat private tour - It a half day private tour. Tour guide told us to wait in cafeteria building at 12.15 . 5 other group member also there waiting. Arrive at the location around 11.45 and haven’t seen the tour guide at all. 12.15 we all went out in heavy rain not seing anyone of other group and guide. They left 6 of us and we been told that we should go back on our own risk. Bad experience. Don’t book with them in Barcelona. Hope on and off is ok but Montserrat tour guide is really bad . !!!!
