Beautiful and calm monastery with a lot to offer - Beautiful place, great gate away from the city to visit something really different and well protected. Sandra did a great job explaining the history and meaning of all the landmarks we visited, and she made our experience really enjoyable.

Amazing views - Thank you very much to Valeria for the tour. He knows a lot about it. Very nice her. On the other hand, amazing views it offers once you are on top of the mountain. I recommend wearing good shoes and a good jacket in these times because it is cold up there of a thousand demons.

Very nice trip to the mountains - Very nice trip to Monserrat. The two ladies that helped us were very attentive and we had a great time. The views from the mountains during on your way in bus is awesome. Wish we had more time there and a return in the cog wheel as the arrival.

Interesting destination but poor sound systems - Montserrat is an interesting and beautiful destination. Unfortunately this tour was marred by malfunctioning sound systems on the tour bus and the walking tour, which the guide didn't seem to know how to fix even when requested, so we missed a lot of the descriptive and historical information by the guide. The bus sound system operated fine on the return. The tour included timed entry to the church, but we still stood in line for a half hour, without information on what we were waiting for.
