I had a great experience overall, but the walk from the main square to the Girona train station added some unexpected stress and physical strain to my trip. I suggesting to have the tour bus drop off passengers at the train station first before heading to the final destination.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our Montserrat and Girona tour with Roger and Chris was one of the highlights of our trip! Roger, who was born and raised in Barcelona, shared fascinating history along with personal local insights that made the experience even more meaningful. Both Roger and Chris were knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They were also incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the tour, taking photos for us at the beautiful stops and making everyone feel welcome. At the end of the tour, they even helped us arrange a taxi and made sure we got to the train station safely and on time. If you’re looking for a fun, informative, and well-organized tour with guides who truly care about their guests, we highly recommend Roger and Chris!
The guide was very engaging! I had a good experience overall. It was great to spend more time and relax at Montserrat and Girona. It’s a must see.
Carlos and Roger were amazing tour guys. It was a well worth while tour and we learned a lot of history for Montserrat and Girona
The tour itself was really good. Both the tour guides , Vosco and Martina, were really knowledgeable about the areas. They kept the tour alive and fun. They were approachable and very helpful. We were the only one (me and husband) in the bus who was going to Montserrat and Girona, the two really helped us navigated how to get to the high-speed train terminal in Girona to go back to Barcelona.
We booked this trip since we were on a 3 day trip to Barcelona and it seemed like a perfect short day trip for 1 day. And we were right. The trip shows you stunning views of Catalunya and gets you back in the city by evening so you can wind down for the evening.. The trip was nicely organized. Both Carlos and Gomez very different in styles were great guides throughout our trip. Loved Gomez's sense of humor in Montserrat's high mountains. Loved Carlos's storytelling in the medieval town of Girona. The trip was fairly priced since it included tickets to some famous places and the train journey back to Barcelona.
Roger was a brilliant guide – knowledgeable, friendly, patient and with a great sense of humour. A fantastic way to visit two beautiful places in Catalonia, close to Barcelona, in a single day. There was plenty of time to explore Montserrat and more than enough time afterwards to have lunch and discover Girona. A highly recommended tour.
It was very organized and informative. The guides were very knowledgeable and offered a lot of recommendations on places to visit or restaurants to eat at.
It's very worth it, the guides make the trip and experience much better
The places are beautiful and rich in culture! Our guide Roger was extremely friendly, attentive, and very cultured! It was a wonderful experience.
