Top Spain Private Sightseeing Tours - page 168

Melania was great guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Walked at a great pace for the heat and allowed for stops for water. Only 3 on tour so it was virtually private. Great walking tour. Then handed off to guide at La Sagrada who was also great. Even better tour than expected.

We recently joined a tour to Montserrat from Barcelona with our guide Alejandro, and it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable, sharing clear and interesting explanations about Barcelona, Montserrat and the monastery’s history throughout the journey and during the visit. Alejandro organized everything perfectly, from the hotel pick‑up and comfortable drive to the key viewpoints and the basilica, so we could relax and enjoy the day without worrying about logistics or tickets. What I appreciated most was how he adapted the pace of the tour to our family, giving us enough time for photos, questions and short breaks while still keeping the schedule on track. His recommendations for the best spots and optional activities at Montserrat were very helpful, and you could see he genuinely enjoys what he does. Overall, it was a great way to discover Montserrat, and I would definitely recommend Alejandro as a tour guide to anyone visiting Barcelona and looking for a well‑organized, informative and enjoyable day trip. Also, don’t miss taking the railway up to the top of Montserrat – the views are spectacular and really worth it.

A++ Absolutely wonderful private tour! Request Carlos as your guide. Historian with vast knowledge that deepens your understanding of the Alhambra and its significance in Spanish and European/Asian history. Carlos is also fluent in Arabic and can translate the words embedded within the architecture and decorative walls which unlocks the significance of the interior design that is missed if you can’t read the words. Highly recommend!
