Montserrat Monastery And Sagrada Familia Tour With Liquor Tasting

The handoff from the morning tour to the afternoon tour was poor, you had to find your own taxi or walk 30 minutes

Amazing sights and history! Thoroughly enjoyed every part of the amazing sights and scenery. It felt rushed at Monserrat if you stopped to take a photo the tour kept moving and you missed an explanation. I know we had to stay on schedule and the guide was great. I probably would booke the two excursions separately next time so I had more time at Monserrat

Trip was great and personnel outstanding and very knowledgeable. Our tour guides were great. Thank to Blanca, Roger and Mr. Alberto.

I would not recommend this particular tour because they company splits the two locations into two separate tours and leaves you on your own for several hours and asks you to show up at the second location on your own. As tourists, we have no idea about how long it takes to get a taxi in the middle of the day in the busy part of town and how traffic would make things super slow so we missed the second tour for Família Sagrada. So we cannot get our money back for the second tour and were unable to see Família Sagrada since tickets were sold out for the following week.

It was an enjoyable trip. The guide was friendly and helpful. Montserrat is beautiful and worth going. Much easier to go by tour.

Our tour guide to Sagrada Família was Paula. She has made our trip there unforgettable! Her deep knowledge of Gaudí’s work was impressive. She explained the history, symbolism, and architectural details clearly. She is warm, friendly and humorous. She was professional and approachable, answering all our questions with patience. Overall, the tour was educational, entertaining, and enjoyable, Paula is the perfect choice. Thank you for an amazing experience! A setback is the guy at the gathering point, Emporium Souvenir shop was extremely rude. He was speaking loudly to the tourists looking very annoyed.

Amazing places and very beautiful views and unbelievable structures and people are very friendly and very nice and helpful. Thank you Amigo tour for this wonderful experience

I had Anna as my guide for the Monsterrat Monastery Guide and Roger as my Familia Sagrada guide . Both were very knowledgeable, patient , and courteous. The tours were excellent and worth the money spent. I would highly recommend this experience.

This tour listing as its not what I thought I had purchased. To clarify you only get bused to and from to Monserat after your you dropped off no where near the Sagrada Familia nor it's meeting point. The itenerary you are emailed with voucher does not clarify this and the address listed on the itenerary is incorrect, later like an hour before you are emailed the correct address; 416 Carrer Mallorca and not 415 Carrer Mallorca. So not only is this all day tour misleading there is no clarification from tour guides or tour office till you question them. You are left feeling abandon and without support. If I would have known this was how the tour was going to be i would have planned accordingly and booked these tours separately.

I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Anna, is the most fun guide you’ll ever have. She gives a personal touch to her tour.

The views were amazing and we did get a lot of photos. Our tour guide was great and knowledgeable. However, we did not feel as if we had enough time to explore. We went on the 8 o’clock tour, and when we got there, the chapel was closed so we did not get to go in.

The guide for Montserrat Monastery was excellent and enjoyed the tour. What Viator doesn't tell you is the monastery tour starts at 8am, you see the monastery and then you are dropped off around 12ish and the Sagrada tour doesn't start until 3:30 so you need to figure out how to get to the next meeting place near the cathedral.... however the location they give that is a bar doesn't exist, the guide who we found after 39 minutes didn't have any identification, we walked around trying to find anyone who could tell us where to meet the guide, would not recommend that tour

This tour covers 2 must see icons in Barcelona. Very good guides made for a memorable special day...

<p>Montserrat Monastery was beautiful. Great architecture, along with the murals, stained glass, and all that goes into these old cathedrals. The mountain views and walking paths provided an opportunity to appreciate the area and Monastery from multiple sites. We ended up passing on the Sagrada part of the tour.</p>

<p>We had a great time doing this tour. Both tour guides were amazing.</p>

<p>This is a great combo. Monserrat was amazing. It had snowed the night before so the roads were difficult to deal with but the bus driver knew what he was doing and performed perfectly. The views are outstanding. Then the tour at Sagrada Familia was great. cut the line was key. Tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable. But it was a bi-lingual tour so it took twice as long as it needed to be. Also if people took the option to go up to the tower the rest of the group basically waited. They showed us some other stuff that was less interesting during this time but went over it again briefly for the others when they returned from the tower. I would recommend that they do the tower after the tour was done so if people wanted more free time they could have it or if they were done they could leave while the tower portion took place.</p>

<p>The trip to Montserrat was fine. Guide was nice and knowledgeable. However, having to wait over 2 hours between drop off back at Catalunya and then taking a metro to Sagrada was inconvenient. In addition, the Sagrada tour was given in both Spanish and English which meant one needed to stand through both explanations to get through the tour. The tour should be in only one language.</p>

<p>The trip up to Montserrat was lovely. I would do this leg of the trip solo and not include it with La Sagrada Familia. We were up very early to drive up to Montserrat, which took about 1 hour. We arrived sometime around 7:45am-8:00am. The bus left to return at 11:45am so it really want a full day there at all. Only about 4 hours. The tour guide took us around and did a good job but we had no time to do any of the walks. Truth be told, it was too cold regardless. But if going during a warmer season, you may want this option. Then the tour of La Sagrada Familia didnt begin until 3:00pm, in which we had to provide our own transportation to get there and just meet the guide at the site. The tour was in Spanish and English, which meant that the tour guide had to say everything twice. So the time that he was touring in Spanish, we just stood around and waited. You are much better off buying tickets for an audio tour on your own. Definitely not worth it. They should have the tours in all languages but they should not be done at the same time. Very disappointing.</p>

<p>A wonderful surprise! Couldn't appreciate the early morning departure until seeing the sunrise atop Montserrat. Breathtaking views, very comfortable ride with knowledgeable and energetic guide. Sagrata Familia in it's vastness and age still contrast the traditional european cathedrals with modern art and architecture. A well run tour with private listening devises that allows everyone to hear the history even in the large crowds.</p>

<p>tour guide ok but have had better. did not feel that safe with bus driver for Montserrat. The guide for Sagrada started good very good But half way through got very very boring way too much technical could have cut it down somewhat to keep it interesting</p>

<p>Early start was good if you can get up. Finished most experiences by noon and back in town around 1.15pm. Our disappointment was that Sagrada Familia was closed at 2pm,and they cancelled last minute, so we missed getting into the place. Not really their fault but could have make more effort to contact us earlier. Would have done the Sagrada tour earlier if we had known. We had to miss it because we flew home the next morning, hopefully the promised refund is smooth.</p>

<p>It was a great tour covering Montserrat and Sagrada but with the only disadvantage of 2 1/2 hours break in between.<br/> I had a chance to feel the Monastery because of the early morning access as we turned up earlier than others. <br/> Our Montserrat guide was awesome, informative and helpful ...<br/> It would have been great if we had 1 1/2 more hour to visit the caves so that we would have 1-hour break rather than the 2 1/2 hours.</p> <p>Sagrada was a great building under construction. The trip guide tries his best to give most of the information about the history of the building and all.</p> <p>It's really a nice package for this price</p>

<p>The full day tour was amazing. Getting up early to travel to Montserrat was not good but being there before the crowds we were able to have a good look around and take lots of photos. The place itself is amazing. Would love to have gone on the funicular ralyway but it was only operating one way. The guide was very knowledgeable with a pleasant manner.<br/> We had a break back in town for lunch then went on the tour of Sagrada Família. What can I say? A wonderful place with lots of time to wonder around. Another guide met us and took us through the Basillica. This building certainly has the wow factor. Whatever I say cannot do it justice. Do yourself a favour, take the full day tour and be amazed,as we were.</p>

<p>Tour meeting place was easy to find and very close to public transport. Tour guide was good and she gave a great run through of Montserrat. After Montserrat we had a break for lunch separately and then met out the front of Sagrada Familia With a different tour guide for that part. Sagrada Familia is the most amazing thing I have ever seen and even though the group was bigger for it and the tour guide was hard to hear she did her best to describe all the aspects and that in itself allows you to appreciate the structure of it in great detail. Lots of fun I defiantly enjoyed this and recommend travelers to do this tour.</p>

<p>Montserrat Monastery was fantastic! Stunning view and well worth it to go there from outside Barcelona. Sagrada Familia was beautiful and had wonderful experience.</p>

<p>I usually don't leave bad reviews but the way I was treated was not okay at all. We did the first tour to Montserrat, meeting time was at 6:25am, me and my friend was there at 6:10am. Our tour guide George was kind enough and waited to the rest of the tour, we didn't leave until 7am. Even the bus driver was really nice, he let my friend use his jacket cause she forgot hers. Someone from our trip needed a wheel chair and George insisted to push the wheelchair. The tour ended at around noon, we got back to the city at 1:30ish, we had about 2 hours till our next tour to Sagrada De Familia, our meeting time is at 3:30pm. Due to traffic and us being unfamiliar with the city, we were 3 minutes late. The taxi driver dropped us off on the other side of the church, we walked around it and looked for our tour guide. It was then 3:35 when I called amigo tours and they called the guide, called me back and said they are already inside. I then requested for a later time and they said they are unable to do so, instead of sympathizing with us he gave me the biggest attitude Well ma'am you're supposed to be there at 3:30 not 3:33. I was shock by his response. It is not okay that we waited half an hour for our earlier trip and we were 3 MINUTES LATE AND THE TOUR GUIDE LEFT US? There should be at least a 10 minute allowance, you guys are dealing with tourist who doesnt know the city at all, its very rude and inconsiderate. All the other tours I did waited at least 10 to 15 minutes for the parties. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BOOKING WITH AMIGO TOURS.</p>

<p>Our bilingual guide was very knowledgeable. And she went at a good pace. We didn't feel rushed at all. The tour was amazing. It is a most for anyone. Montserrat is beautiful. Sagrada Familia- if you are going to Barcelona, you have to see this cathedral.</p>

<p>Just fantastic, a must see when visiting Barcelona</p>

<p>Excellent tour. Loved Montserrat and the Sagrata Familia a must see. Tour guides were great but had difficulty with the rather heavy Spanish accent. Highly recommend this trip.</p>

<p>Montserrat Monastery is great, it's just that we didn't have enough time to go to funicular view due to the long queu.</p> <p>We don't recommend to go up to the tower access. There's nothing to see and not easy to go down the starway.</p>

<p>This is an experience you don't want to miss. The Montserrat Monastery is too beautiful to put into words...so ornate! The visit included a funicular ride to the top of the mountain for an extra 10 euros but worth every cent for a breathtaking view.<br/> Sagrada Familia is so amazing. A person could spend hours just looking at the outside of the building...mind boggling with so much detail and then you go inside and your mouth falls open...it is truly undescribable! No picture or words can take the place of seeing it in person. Our tour included going up one of the towers by elevator for breathtaking views and then back down a spiral staircase of 400 steps. <br/> This full day tour gives a beautiful overview of the two but we felt a little rushed at the Monastery and then had a couple of hours to kill in between the two tours. If you have the time I would suggest doing a full day at the Monastery and the Sagrada Familia another day.</p>

<p>Both tours and guides were wonderful, especially our guide to Montserrat, Elaina. She was super knowledgable and not only showed us around Montserrat but provided fun facts and history throughout the bus ride to and from. This tour is also the first to get there which was great, since when we left around noon the parking lot was packed with buses and there were tours everywhere. It's much better to get up early and actually enjoy the scenery and Monastery while its quiet. Amigo tours were great!!</p>

<p>Money well spent. Tour guide was professional and knowledgeable.</p>

<p>This was Amazing! The Montserrat Monastery was absolutely brilliant and our guide answered all of our questions and curiositys. When we get back to meeting point we had free time to have lunch to later continue with Sagrada Familia which simply was STUNNING!</p> <p>Thanks for this experience!</p>

<p>Highly recommended. Top Barcelona places, top guide!</p>

<p>I enjoyed this the most in Barcelona. The monastery at the time we arrived was very calm and we enjoyed the information the guide provided. The Sagrada Familia afternoon tour was wordless. Guide very professional and organized.</p>

<p>This tour was amazing. We started Montserrat early in the morning and that's the best option to visit the monstery with no crowds! The guide was so professional and helpful and answered every single doubt we had. Then we had little time to rest and have lunch to enjoy Sagrada Familia in the afternoon without waiting looong queu. I highly recomment this combination.</p>

<p>first w had to meet according to our e mail note at 7,15am when we got there at 7am the bus was loadedand they were about to leave as they sent us the wrong times.montserrat was great the problem was no info was supplied on the sagada part of the trip. no times no where to meet etc. finally after our guide contacted amigo tours we were told to meet at sagada at 3:30. the Montserrat part finished at 1pm and now we had to wait 2 1/2 hrs for the next part and also had to travel across town to get to it .we spent over 30more euro,s just getting to al points. needless to say we were not happy with amigo tours and we will also take it up with them but all this was booked thru the viator website so they have some responsibility for the results</p>

Horrible! We wasted our time, they never ever wrote to us to confirm the tour, we were at the location at 8:00 am and we didn't find anything, even so we couldn't reach the operator, they don't make a prior call to say that they are at the point. We took the train to go to the place 2 hours later, it is a total fraud! They do not provide ways to communicate.

They have an app with a chat that nobody answers. Spanish phone number that nobody answers. We arrived at the indicated time at the France station to go to Montserrat and there was nobody from the tour. Don't waste your time or money.

Absolutely professional execution, from pickup, organization and information. Laura, in particular, had the group fully under control. Anytime again!

Very good service, well organized. Transportation and Guides very well prepared and friendly. They answered all questions and offered recommendations.

Nasza przewodniczka Ana F super się spisywała. Wszystkiego się dowiedzieliśmy a nasze pytania nie pozostawały bez odpowiedzi. Wycieczka godna polecenia w 100 %.

Good experience. Enough time to explore the place. One-off. Guide was good, explaining everything. Access to Madonna. I liked.

De bezoeken aan Montserrat en La Sagrada Familia waren prachtig, de reisbegeleiding (Laura naar Montserrat en Clara naar Sagrada Familia) was prima, de chauffeur was goed. Bovendien vond ik de locaties zeer de moeite waard.
