    A great day at Montserrat.

    kara_l, Apr 2026
    We really enjoyed our day at Montserrat. We bought the tickets here and the experience was smooth and easy. They were communicative about the time to see the Black Madonna and we received our tickets very quickly after booking. I was impressed and happy with the whole experience from start to finish. It was a fun day doing something outside of the city.

    My parents, my wife, my three early 20’s daughters and a friend of theirs loved this. We will be able to keep the memories of our trip alive by learning to cook some of the dishes we had on our visit. 100% would recommend as a MUST do on your visit.

    No tapas class.

    We were really looking forward to the class. I couldn’t give this cooking class a high mark as we went to meet the chef and no one was there. I called the company and they apologized but said they had sent me a message several weeks ago to reschedule. I searched in my messages and didn’t find a message. The person I spoke with was very nice and gave me instructions on what I needed to do. My refund was completed timely. We were disappointed but their customer service was very good. I wish they had followed up when I didn’t respond to their initial message.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Dear Marsha, We are truly sorry for what happened. We wrote and contacted you multiple times to inform you that the class needed to be rescheduled, as that day was already fully booked. We have saved the chat with the messages we sent a month before the activity, where we notified you and proposed an alternative. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and remain at your disposal for any clarification or solution. Best regards,
