Sunrise and hiking at Montserrat! - Alberto was great. Lots of energy and knowledge of Montserrat. Getting there early was amazing, as we were the only people there at sunrise and we saw the early mass. We had time for a nice hike, that could be self directed, but as a hiker I took a path that was challenging with a little scrambling near the top, while my wife did a lesser hike and took the funicular down where we meet at the museum for a quick tour through. Montserrat is breathtaking and we took it all in as the first one up the mountain and were back at our hotel by 2:30. I highly recommend the tour for those that enjoy hiking and want the full small tour experience. Thanks Alberto

Montserrat- One of the best hikes ever! - What an awesome day with Albert! His knowledge of Montserrat was incredible and it made the experience at the church and the hike in the mountains surrounding the monastery that much better. Highly recommend going on this early morning trip as you basically have the monastery and the hike to yourself for pictures!

Would recommend to everyone; highlight of my trip. - Amazing day. (Late to writing this review but we travelled Oct 2024) And great guide. Highlight of our whole vacation. Another review from the same tour as us said “too rushed”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Albert made sure we got to see everything and have the best experience. Also super kind and friendly. I think the day was planned out perfectly and I wouldn’t have changed any of it.

Extreme value for your money!! - We're from California. Albert spoke good english and was on time. He showed us stuff that you wouldn't have a chance to see unless you're early. More power to Albert and his company.

Best tour in Barcelona - Albert was very knowledgeable about the monastery and its history. Timing was perfect for the hiking with breathtaking views. Along with his sense of humor, he made the tour a pleasant one. Thank you very much.

Beautiful Montserrat - It is truly breathtaking! We were picked up at 6:15AM to drive there. That was perfect! We had the place practically to ourselves! We saw the beautiful sunrise. We also were the first to see the black Madonna before the crowds arrived. I will say that the walk to the cross isn’t an easy walk in the park. It is steep. The walk to the chapel and back down was difficult. Some of us opted to pass on one or both. Our guide gave us a lot of information and was very personable. We were a group of 6 friends doing this tour and we all loved it!

Avoid the Crowds and Have time to Hike - This tour was wonderful. When we arrived, there was hardly anyone there (I didn’t realize how great that was until we had finished our hike). We saw the sunrise, heard the monks chant and didn’t have to wait to see the Black Madonna. After all that, we went on a hike to the cross and the top of the funicular to see the mountains. We then had free time, but our group wanted to continue hiking. Our guide Albert was happy to continue on with us. We then had a little time for shopping and a quick bite before taking the train down the mountain. I would highly recommend this tour. Albert was very communicative before the tour and sent us a lot of information about Montserrat both before and during the tour.

Montserrat magnificent. Albert, tour guide, disrespectful.. - The guide refused to drop us off at the hotel claiming there was too much afternoon traffic. He knew I had a fractured heel and I had to walk 0.3 miles to the hotel. Instead he offered a consolation bottle of wine, which I did not accept. The residual pain I endured was indeed memorable.
