Fantastic guide

Joanne_L, Jan 2026

Our guide was really good and professional. Good explanation and a lot of alternatives given on this rainy day in Barcelona. Would be good if the company could offer another day since you can’t really see much on a rainy day at the monserrat

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the guide’s professionalism and explanations. We completely understand how rain can limit the experience at Montserrat, your suggestion about offering alternative days is noted and much appreciated. We hope to welcome you back on a sunnier day so you can fully enjoy the stunning views and all Montserrat has to offer! ☀️🏔️

A Thoughtful and Enjoyable Montserrat Tour

ROY_M, Jan 2026

The tour was a great experience overall, made even better by our guide, Nestor, who was very kind and attentive. I didn’t have cash to buy a candle to light at Montserrat, and Nestor kindly bought one for me. He also went out of his way to buy a small souvenir for everyone on the tour, which was a really thoughtful gesture. The afternoon tour included entrance to the Basilica and the Black Madonna, which was excellent. However, the free time was limited to about an hour, which wasn’t quite enough to explore other activities such as the museum or the funicular. Overall, it was a good tour with a knowledgeable and generous guide, and I would recommend it—especially for those who want a well-organized visit with a great guide.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Roy! Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the Montserrat tour and that Nestor made it extra special, buying candles and souvenirs is very much kind of him! Thanks as well for your honest note about the free time. Montserrat has so much to see, and we totally understand wanting a bit more time to explore. We’ll keep this in mind as we fine tune our tours. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another adventure! 😉 un abrazo

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Muchas gracias for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time and that everything, from the easy pickup to the guide’s knowledge, made the day smooth and enjoyable. And yes… Montserrat really knows how to show off its majesty! Hope to see you again on another unforgettable tour ✨ un abrazo
