Brian was amazing! Our very entertaining history lesson was enjoyable and made our travel time seem much shorter. Montserrat was a not to miss tour and Brian knows it well and was very helpful in making sure we experienced what we wanted.

Montserrat was amazing but our tour guide Brian was the highlight of the tour. He had props, wigs and even sang songs. His history lesson of Barcelona was the most entertaining history lesson I’ve ever had.

Beautiful, easy, well run, and perfect.

We absolutely loved our guide and our day!! Roberto discussed the history of Barca and brought the past and present to life. He was very knowledgeable about Monsterrat and was a pleasure to spend the day with. He is a major asset to the company. We are a family of 8 very different people and we all loved him!! Warm, funny and easy to get along with. That is not an easy task. The 1/2 day trip was fantastic and getting outside the city was well worth it. 5 stars and a great trip.

Amazing day. The guide was excellent. Sunny and the park is so worth it. Give a city background with personal touch.

Our guide Camilo was incredible. Very knowledgeable and help. Also Viator picked us up right where we were ending one tour and they drove us back to the port when we were finished. Great service
