We had a fantastic day with Stepan. As it was the Easter weekend, Stepan suggested we leave 30 minutes early to secure a parking space, and thank goodness we did. Stepan is very knowledgeable and considerate of everyone in our party and their walking abilities, and we all loved ending the day at the Farmer's Market. This day exceeded our expectations in every regard. Thank you!

An outing rich in landscapes and discussions

Tiziana_S, Nov 2025

This day in Montserrat accompanied by Stephan was memorable. This gave a different color to my stay in Barcelona, a beautiful moment of breathing, beautiful views and a very beautiful discovery of the surroundings of the Monastery. Stephan is an attentive guide who adapts to the needs of visitors and knows the area well. He is also very interested in the overall situation in the region and the country. This allows for very interesting exchanges on economic, political and social issues. Which I really appreciate when I visit a place. Thank you to him for this day
